Dear Baby,

Today I was playing your white noise really loud in our faces
It was the only thing that soothed your screams and shaking lips
I laid you against the soft striped pillow and started browsing around the internet
I thought you had fallen asleep
But then I looked down and there you were
with your eyes wide open
Big saphire blue eyes looking at me
Blinking slowly
Opening and closing your mouth
All of your movements seemed slow and deliberate
Sometimes it's hard to believe that you are really real
Especially in moments like this one
You are more like a small, sweet smelling angel baby
I get to gather you up in my arms
Breathe you in and hold your whole tiny being close to me
Someday when you are all arms and legs I will remember these days
Just you, me and a speckled pup curled on the couch together
Doing nothing but being sweet comfort to each other.
