Once that baby opens their eyes it’s time to get up mama

 Once that baby opens their eyes it’s time to get up mama.

It doesn’t matter if you were finally in a deep sleep.
It doesn’t matter if you just closed your own eyes two minutes ago.
Their little eyelids flutter, they roll toward you, and suddenly the whole house is awake.

Motherhood has this way of pulling you out of yourself and into something bigger.
You go from exhausted to alert in one heartbeat.
You scoot them closer.
You whisper good morning.
You soak in the way they stretch those tiny arms like they run the whole world.

You get up even when you’re tired.
You show up even when you’re running on fumes.
And somehow, you still love them with everything in you.

That’s the magic of it.
That’s the part you’ll miss one day.
