Baby Girl!!

She has arrived... our sweet baby girl!!!!!

A dreamy, calm state has come over me. I am soothed by your presence. I hold you close and surround myself in your loveliness. Your sweet smell. Your gentle breath. Your curious eyes and silly grunts.

When you were born, I cried and cried tears of joy. I pinch myself often to make sure this is real. I wouldn't trade anything for these three treasures in my life. You. Your Brother. Your Daddy. Our family. Thank you for coming into our lives sweet girl.

I love this, Laura! Prose poetry is one of my favorite styles of poetry, and this is a beautiful piece, cuz! It's going to be so cool when Cloe gets old enough to appreciate your writings. xx
