Dear Babygirl, There are times when I open my eyes in the morning, during that momentary fuzzy period when you’re no longer asleep but you’re not quite awake, that I remember all over again. “Oh my gosh, I’m a Mom!” It’s not like I’ve forgotten, per se, it’s just that at eightish weeks in, it’s […]
Dear Babygirl, You are 6 weeks and 1 day old today. A couple months ago I wrote you a letter about normal. I wrote about how you would be arriving soon, so soon, and how my very normal days would soon be totally different very normal days. Earlier today we went to the grocery store, […]

My birthday is in April. Your Daddy’s birthday is in April. Your birthday…will not be in April. You are gonna be […]

He is the master of our puppy dog’s domain. And he […]
Dear Babygirl, I was thinking about today. This day. And I wrote a few things about it, and it kind of turned into a letter at the end. Sorta kinda. A letter to you. It’s sorta kinda a letter and sorta kinda a poem and sorta kinda just a random piece of writing that my […]
