It was day four. Or was it day five? I can't recall but it was smack bang in the middle of "the weeping" – those post-birth days when your emotions are held to ransom by an epic hormone cocktail. The intense love you feel looking at your baby's tiny face makes you cry but then, […]
Three little weeks. A precious baby girl who feeds and sleeps and grows. She is a gorgeous little thing, rarely deviating from the newborn script. She is an (exhausting) joy. I look at these photos and it occurs to me how lucky we are. I prayed and prayed for a daughter. Would make jokes about […]
