The Sweetest Words Ever

Since Dylan was born, whenever he has sneezed, I have said, "Bless you, baby." Tonight, while reading our stories before bed, I sneezed, and as Dylan turned the page in his book, he said, "Bless you, Mommy." This moment is one of those stored deep in the memories of parents that have us all saying to would-be or new parents that the sleep-deprived, cry-filled, diaper-changing nights are all worth it, yet we never can remember exactly why. This is also the moment when at 37 weeks pregnant and uncomfortable with expanding hips, sciatica, and heartburn that you know you're not crazy for doing it all again.
