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, […]

Dear Babygirl, I was talking to one of your grandmas yesterday and, without really thinking, mentioned how you have blonde hair and blue eyes.
