Earlier, when Elisa was asleep in my arms, I went through the photos on my phone, going way back to this time 2 years ago.
I looked really good then. But I know I didn’t feel so good on the inside.
Now I'm a mom to a 4-month old, and I don’t look so good.
I spend most of my day in my pajamas which is often wet with spit-up or breastmilk. I wash my hair once a week.
But I have so much more love than I did before.
Honest and simple love.
Unconditional and unquestionable love.
Somehow this reminds me not to compare my inside to other people’s outside. Or my outside to other people’s outside, too.
Elisa knows many new sounds now. This morning, she talked while nursing. “Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm…” She looked at me with her big round eyes.
I said back, “Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm…” She smiled, still with my nipple between her gums.
It was almost too beautiful to handle.
