Notes after Bruno's first week

He smiles by accident.

We dress him mostly in white.

He can sleep up to four hours and gets a lot more excited at night.

I get cranky.

I feel great and not so great. This can happen in the same twenty minutes.

I've lost track of time. Perhaps forever.

He loves flying in his daddy's arms.

I love looking at them both when they're asleep by my side.

Breastfeeding is difficult and exhausting. But incredibly rewarding.

Sometimes i can't believe he's our son.

I have post-partum cravings for (even) healthier food.

He relaxes with the sounds of Count Basie and Coldplay.

He smells like a perfect imaginary landscape.
