Baby Smell

Had some cuddle time with Alec Wednesday night. I adore newborns...mostly for what they give me cause im certainly helpless to give them anything. Hes so soft and fragile. he has beautiful eyes and long skinny wrinkly old man fingers. he has absurdly long toes and a huge mouth. he has a muffled breathy cry and loves to suck on his hands. when he lays on you his butt sticks up and he fits perfectly under my chin in the crook of my shoulder. he sighs in his sleep and twitches sometimes. he fills me with joy and hope and unspeakable longing. he is the most amazing miracle and I am in love

Oh sweetie, someday I pray your joy will be infinitely multiplied.

Because if ever there was a woman who deserved to be loved and cherished and to share that love as a mom, it's you.

Carrie,
He is JUST PRECIOUS! There is just nothing like holding a new born! Words can't describe it! Enjoy and that is a great picture of you two!
