What do you remember about those first few days home with your new baby?
Remember the day you met your baby?
Remember how fresh he was, how wrinkly, and perfect?
Remember how sleepy?
Remember his crooked nose
Remember how he would pull his little legs up
Remember how his whole body curled into your arms?
How crinkly his face would get when he was cranky
Remember when your baby met your new baby?
Remember all squishing together falling into your new family?
Remember brushing your lips across his downy head?
At the risk of sounding cliché when people look back and talk about the good old days, it's these moments. The ones that you can feel in your bones, but you're not able to bring the picture back up in your mind. It's the reason that capturing these moments mean so much at the time, but years down the road they mean even more.
