Making a Baby

I have eagerly anticipated Marissa’s arrival, because I was so curious to know what I would feel when I saw her for the first time. It’s hard to explain but it really was a spectacular feeling.

But what I really love right now … her eyes. After Sheila nurses her, and gives her to me, I burp and then re-wrap her in her blankets. I then pick her up and she just stares at me with her wide open eyes. I wonder what she thinks, or hears, sees.

I know there will be many moments to cherish and remember. But I will never forget these stares and I will try and capture as many of them as I can.
