@meg.beacon: Me, sitting in my rocking chair with a sleeping baby in my arms. The whole house was quiet. The whole world seemed asleep. And somehow, I felt like I was the only person awake in it. I think that’s one of the hardest parts of motherhood that nobody really prepares you for. You can be holding the person you love more than anything and still feel incredibly lonely. At 2:43am, the tiredness makes everything feel bigger. The worries. The questions. The how am I going to do this tomorrow? And then I looked at those little lights. Other moms were awake too. Different houses. Different babies. Different reasons for being awake. But for a moment, I didn’t feel like I was sitting in that rocking chair alone. My light wasn’t the only one on. And sometimes, that’s all you need to get through the next few minutes. 🤍 #motherhood #momlife #sleeplessnights #momcommunity #postpartum
