Oh that first smile. I have been waiting a couple of weeks for it. Just some sign from my dear daughter that we are doing OK. I have tried to record it on my camera but it may take a couple more days before we are able to synchronize. The last five and a half weeks have been very intense, night after night of breastfeeding sessions, diaper changes and silent somewhat revengeful promises to myself that I can’t do this again. Yet really, Leia is a breeze. For the past month I have spent most of my time at home, and today there is snow on the ground and temperatures well below freezing. I keep dreaming about us setting off around Brooklyn and Manhattan, baby in sling, walking several miles a day to get me back to the body I know and miss. But everything is a phase, and I know, I have to enjoy every moment. Even the days stuck at home with two kids need to feel like a blessing. I am tired, but I just wanted to share and remember this moment.
