the sweet moments.

I adore the first few days of having a baby at home.  We're all safe in our cocoon of warmth, safety, and newness.  If feels a little off kilter and at the same time there's a serenity and loveliness about the first days of having a newborn.  You've completely stepped out of the world and for now your entire world exists within the confines of the walls of your home.  And in those days it just feels right.

Usually, it's before your brand new little baby realizes that she doesn't have to sleep 22 out of 24 hours.  She sleeps well while she recovers from her birth day...it's peaceful even in its chaos.

I'm so grateful that this beautiful little family welcomed me into the sacred first few days of their blissfull unknown.  After being at the birth and then getting to see them all as a whole family brought back all of those happy feelings of a new baby...their sweetness with each other, big sister testing out the big sister waters, the scent of a newborn, and beauty of family life and the love it holds.

deeper. LOVE.
