impression

tonight julius fell asleep while i held him and stayed that way for roughly 2 hours.
i had already had a unsuccessful lay down attempt and i didn't want to risk it again.
halfway through his nap i move my arm out from under him and placed his head on the pillow in my lap.
now, it's quite common for his ear to leave a small print on my arm after i've nursed him for awhile but because i had held him in that position for so long the ear print was quite detailed. i found myself checking it over and over until it finally faded away. even now, hours later, there is still a bit of soreness in that part of my arm.
it feels wonderful.
