She's only been here for 16 days, but it seems like so much longer than that. I don't even think I remember what my life was before she was here - how funny is that?
What amazes me even more - is how easy she makes it for me to shrug off the stupid things. All the petty worries that pop up unexpectedly don't seem matter at all. If she starts to fuss all she needs is the sound of my voice and she knows everything is ok and I will take care of her. I love how if she needs comforting for any reason, just holding my finger has the ability to soothe her. The living room hasn't been vacuumed in a few days - so what? I'm playing with my baby. Phone calls to make? No, I'm watching her sleep. Change the sheets, straighten the house, dust the wood, mop the floors? I'd rather kiss her nose for an hour.
She's is more precious to me than I ever could have imagined she would be - even though before she was here I thought of her often.
