Savoring

{{these photos were all taken soon after we got home

Oh how I love my newborn babies. 

Greta is fitting in our family beautifully. 

She is getting a lot of love and attention.

I'd rather have the kids fighting over her than the computer.

 It feels like she completes our family.

If it were as simple as being pregnant and having newborns, I would never stop. 

But they don't stay small forever, as we all know.

So I'm really trying to savor these tiny baby days.

It gives me anxiety to think that she's even one week old already.

 

I'm loving her peach fuzz skin and silky black hair.

Her long skinny fingers and toes, and scrawny bird legs.

Sweet smelling baby breath and soft little ears.

And the way her eyes sometimes go crossed when she's trying to focus.

 

And I'm savoring (trying to) even those middle-of-the-night awake times.

Because I know those don't last forever, either.

This blog may turn into Greta-palooza for awhile. 

I'm not worried about sewing or projects for the time being!
