Sitting here with the new baby curled up, sleeping on my chest in the middle of the night (as she’s done many times in the past two weeks), I thought I should make a list…
TEN THINGS I LOVE ABOUT OUR NEW BABY
- That amazing new baby smell!
- How her little chest moves in and out when she breathes
- How she sometimes does a few rapid-fire breaths before going back to her normal rhythm
- She’s been a really good baby so far with very little fussing or crying (except when hungry or needing a change of course!)
- Sitting with her on my chest like now is a perfect time for reading an e-book (one advantage over more unwieldy print books)
- She’s given me an excuse to live in pyjama pants and t-shirts for nearly two weeks straight 😉
- The way her eyes look, so curious and amazed, at things like her mobile, mommy’s face or even shadows moving on the wall
- That, after some initial doubts, her big brother absolutely adores her, cares for her, and watches over her
- Thinking about her next few months and years of development. I still maintain that around age three is my absolute favourites but the lead-up to that period is pretty cool too!
- Did I mention she’s pretty cute?
