Overwhelming emotion - He's here! He's alive! He's real!
5am - just me and him, skin to skin under a duvet on the sofa.
He looks like Ray, like George, like me, like family past and present - he looks familiar.
His soft noises, his loud noises, his screams, his gurgles, his growls. All of it. (see no 1)
Sleeplessness.
Stroking his soft skin, especially on the back of his neck.
He cries, one of us holds him, he is soothed.
Occasional success with breastfeeding - appointment made with breastfeeding midwife - outlook fair to hopeful.
The faces he pulls: grimaces, practice smiles, "food face" when he hears my voice.
I've never cared to label myself but: Daughter, Wife and Mum birthday cards = awesomeness!
Watching Ray being a daddy.

My best good thing this week- taking Monkey to a music festival out of town and watching the wonder in his eyes as the orchestra started to play.
It's amazing how much these little beings impact us... <3
