Dear Hugo,
Your dad Ben and I still need to write up your birth story before its details become fuzzy, but here are a few things I want to record from the last week or so:
Sleep: Ben is great without it, I am slowly adjusting.
My heart melts when I see you in your dad's arms, and I see how comfortable he is holding you.
My favorite time of day is when you are in your quiet alert state, I can see your big beautiful eyes blinking slowly, and you are calm among the storm that is your new life outside the womb.
I love your smell. Why do you babies smell so delicious?
I've had more emotions condensed into the last week than I've ever had in life. It's equal parts anxiety-provoking and equal parts ardent.
Your rapid breaths as your drift into dreamland remind me that you are a beautiful little human who I feel blessed to take care of.
That's all for now,
Mom
