One Month Old

One month ago you were born. You arrived in two hours and you were perfect. Our journey since then has been quite a roller coaster ride. I have been learning how to be a mother and you have been learning how to be a baby outside my belly. Some of my favorite times are when we are awake in the early morning. You are contentedly munching and I look out the glass door to the back yard. The sun is always starting to peak through the trees, little spurts of pink light. I am tracing small circles on your back and your dad is snoring peacefully. This is my new happiness.
