Newborn

You're home now.

You're torso might be smaller, but your heart is a whole lot bigger.

You thought you knew what to expect but now that it's happened, you realize it's never what we expect. It's even better.

It's only been a few days, yet their eyes are already open more today than yesterday.

Their squished face is already starting to relax into the features they'll embrace for the next few years.

You wonder, "Will I remember this?"

Let me join you in those intimate first two weeks. Let me quietly document your new arrival, your first attempts at breastfeeding, your favorite scrunched toes that you know you'll be kissing for as long as they'll allow. Let me document the small things you may soon forget as your life continues to unfold into the fairy tale you've ever wanted.
