Week at a Glimpse | Favorite Perfume

I like these little Pacifica perfumes!

The lilac is my favorite.

I have a sweet little memory about that lilac perfume.  

When we were in the hospital labor/delivery room I had a moment where I remembered a little 

tidbit from the birth class we attended about how the babies would connect with me right away 

after they were born and all those first moments would be so important.  

The first time I held them and the first time they smelled their mama 

would be so critical and would help bond us together.  

Its so interesting for me to look back on now, and I'm tempted to tease myself about it, 

but at the same time I just remember how hard everything was for me 

that day and so I want to give myself grace.  

Regardless of the reason, I remembered the smell conversation from birth class and I felt sort of icky

and very tired and I got it in my mind that I wanted to smell good for the babies when I first met them.  

I knew it was too silly a thought to say out loud, so i kept it to myself but next time I was up and I went  to my overnight bag and got out that lilac perfume that was packed and quietly sprayed it on.

Even though I know that this wasn't the smell that they were talking about in birth class, it was one of those odd things from that day that happened that I can't logically explain.  

But it happened nonetheless.

And I smelled like lilacs the first time I held our sweeties.
