131 Holding Each Other Up From Lack of Sleep

My girlfriend and I went through a major routine change. Before, we were night owls and stayed up all night watching videos on the internet. Then all of a sudden we had a baby. It certainly needed attention at night but it also needed attention during the day.

We didn't have a moment to ourselves and it was very hard to find time to even sleep. We would look dreamily at each other in longing, knowing we couldn't do anything together during the early stages of our baby's life. Sometimes we looked at each other with such longing but were so tired, all we could do to stand up was to lean against each other. One of us would get heavy eyes and start snoozing but then jolt awake when it seemed like we were gonna fall. But that brief moment of falling into each other's arms with love and exhaustion and comfort... it was just lovely.
