A friend of my mom wrote: "Her little feet are already leaving footprints on our hearts." As cheesy as it may sound - its so true. Its nice to have had a couple of nights at home to adjust and get to know our little one. Each new sound and face she makes blows me away. This song by Ray LaMontagne has taken on a new meaning for me. Molly made a great mix for us while in the hospital. That combined with amazing midwives and nurses we held a really peaceful space for Mol and Mia. I was blown away with how well Mol handled labor - while every birth is unique - relative to the stories I have heard, this one was on the longer and harder end of the scale. Saying I am deeply proud of Molly would be quite the understatement.
The outpouring of well wishes, support, gifts, cards, visitors, food, and more - has been truly amazing. We are so grateful to be bringing Mia into a community that is as rich in love and spirit as our family and friends.Already in these first few days - in the first few moments even - we have realized what so many have been telling us. Nothing compares. This is even more amazing and wonderful than we could have expected. We are taking lots of pictures and doing our best to savor each moment. We posted some of our favorites below.
