I never really understood the meaning of a nap
until the house was silent while upstairs she slept in her snuggle wrap.
I never really understood the power of a good night's rest
until I slept 4 hours straight in between bottle feeding quests.
I never really understood how good some food could taste,
until I tasted babyfood and it resembled wallpaper paste.
I never really understood how good a shower could feel
until I reeked of puke and poop and lack of sex appeal
I never really understood how much my heart could break
until my baby cried in pain with a tummy ache
I never really understood why parent's cared so much,
until I heard my baby cry and reach out for my touch.
