Whilst drinking coffee this morning
I read this post and remembered just how it felt.
And I felt sad that I would not do this again and I wished that I had done it more.
For the feeling of a baby snuggled on your chest, gently sleeping, breathing that sweet baby breath upon you is such a precious thing.
And those who say that you will form bad habits, that your baby will not sleep without you, they forget that one day the chance to let your baby sleep upon your chest will be over. Babies no longer, your children will be bigger and will not want to snuggle in to your chest to sleep.
There is just a small window to do these things, before you know it great big chunks of life go by. So we must make the most of every moment, these days are short and finite.
Of course, please do not misunderstand me, I am enjoying every moment of my children growing up and every stage of development brings its own favourite moments so I hope this does not seem a sad post, it isn't meant to be sad. Seeing Six One Seven's post just brought my own memories sharply into focus for a moment and I missed that feeling.
In case you were wondering, it's a Marmalade Cake with orange icing, from The Kitchen Diaries: A Year in the Kitchen
. It's very good.

The cake looks delicious.
and like potty training... everything happens in due time.
they will not always potty in their pants.. and they will not always want to sleep in your bed. these things i know for sure.
Beautiful pictures!
I have made that cake, and it was good! Thank you for reminding me of it.
I DID pick up my baby whenever they needed it.
Thanks for the virtual slice of cake. Much better for my waistline.
Enjoy it while you can .... it does not last .
