The first week

I'm sitting here nursing Clair. I'm amazed by her. She is so little, fragile, innocent, beautiful, and just looks like sweetness. Her smell is delectable; the best in the world. My favorite thing is kissing her soft little cheeks! She amazes me.

After having two others, I'm still amazed by her being and helplessness. I can't believe she's mine. I can't believe anyone could ever neglect or harm anything half as sweet and lovely. I'm blessed by my family, especially my children.

I love taking photos of the little positions she strikes between nursing and when nursing. Quite often one hand finds itself holding up or resting on the side of her head as she falls asleep nursing. This makes her look a bit older and wiser for her age.

This week has been an amazing roller coaster and I'm do thankful to be where I am. I'm thankful and grateful and amazed!
