Today I used Dreft to wash clothes because we ran out of our other
laundry detergent. It’s the first time I’ve used it since before you
were born. I washed all your clothes and blankets in Dreft to keep
myself busy in the last month or two of my pregnancy. Every day I would
smell the freshly washed and folded tiny clothes and sort out my
favorite blankets, and imagine you in them. Today that smell made a
little tug at my heart, remembering thinking and dreaming about what you
would be like, look like, feel like, smell like. Remembering how
different life was then, before the Ella Mae. It seems like a lifetime
ago. While you were in my womb, I was in my own “womb” preparing for
motherhood. Eating right, drinking lots of water, sleeping a lot,
feeling anxious, reading tons about babies, feeling you kick and poke
with your toes right under my left ribs. Now, I can’t even imagine what
life would be like without my Ella Pella Girl. My heart is full.Love,
Mom
