I Miss You

I miss you, restorative sleep.
I miss you, long showers.
I miss you, lunch.
I miss you, loud music in the car. . . loud anything for that matter.
I miss you, ME time.
I miss you, my formerly relaxed back and just generally feeling relaxed.
I miss you, sleeping in.
I miss you, guilt-free days. (More to come on this topic if it doesn't make sense!)
I miss you, long talks on the phone with my best friend; I miss you, gardening, bottle-free counter tops, and just one day of laundry per week.
I miss you, staying up late - for fun!
I miss you, worry-free days.
I miss you, "seamless" belly.
And I really miss you, nerve-endings in my lower abdomen.
I miss you, spit-up-free clothing, carpeting, and furniture. I miss you, bare floors without toys strewn about, stress-free date nights, and dark bedroom now lit by the video monitor glow.
I miss you, hair!
I miss you, leisurely wake-ups... I miss you, leisurely anything!
I miss you, uninterrupted sleep.
I miss you, answers.

But, one day soon, we will all see each other again! And, one day, I will miss the late night visits with my baby, the toys strewn about the floor, the sounds of baby lullabies, the sweet smell of baby on me all day, and the time I have with my infant at this young, innocent age! So, come back soon, each and every one of you - but know that your distance for now is worth every second with my smiling, giggling bundle of love and joy!
