I've been freshly reminded of the sweet joy it is to have a newborn. It can be easy to overlook in the midst of sleep deprivation (yeah, she read my post), caring for other children and recovering. But they are there in ten-fold and end all to quickly. Here are just a few....
1. Her sweet cry, even when it's all out crying, It's still the sweetest thing!
2. The way she smiles in her sleep giving me glimpses of the real thing that's right around the corner
3. Her little frog legs
4. The cute startle reflex with her arms
5. The smell of her after a bath, especially her hair. I could just cuddle with her for hours
6. The way she stares so intently when awake with her big blue eyes
7. Her whole hand holding on tightly to my finger
8. The frantic sound of her trying to suck on her hands in the middle of the night when she's hungry
9. The way she stretches her arms behind her head when waking up
10. Holding her close when swaddled like a cocoon with a receiving blanket
Feel free to add some of your own :-)
