Gossamer Angel Wings .. have you ever held a baby in your arms and felt their little shoulder blades? if you touch gently and listen quietly .. you can feel soft downy feathers and hear the tiny humming of little fluttering 'angel wings'.
when the moonlight shines through the window in the midst of the midnight, as i hold our little Sofia Catherine, a soft breeze caresses my face as i nuzzle into her little soft neck for some kisses.
i gently touch her cheek and the feeling is so soft, i'm sure i have run my finger through a powder puff ... when she smiles, and ahhhh yessss, babies do smile as soon as they are born to this earth ... fairies gently dance across her plump little cheeks leaving tiny dimples .. more fleeting than the beating of a hummingbird's wing.
there is no aroma more precious than that of a baby's skin .. it takes your breath away and catches in your heart ... where it remains forever.
the smallest miracle on earth must be tiny baby fingers and toes. each important and knowing it's purpose. as they stretch and curl .. grasp and release .. i could watch these teensy little miracles for hours.
ohhh and to watch the little body move with the rythym of life with each gentle breath!
baby eyes ... seeing into our souls ...
baby mouths ... forming a language known only to them and to the fairies ..
baby noses ... always tiny and cute as a button from grammie's button box
baby ears .. teaching us to teach them all of earth's sounds
holding a new born baby in our arms is about as close to heaven as God gives us on this earth.
True Friends, Frannie

Congratulations, Frannie! As I read your description of a baby, all my tension/stress began to flow out of my body through my fingertips - my breathing became slower and I began to smile. The I closed my eyes and felt/saw everything you described. Beautiful! Thanks!

Congratulations Frannie! Your description brought me back two and three years ago when my little ones were born, magic indeed!!
Big hugs to all, especially poor Wednesday with her poor little bottom...ouch!
Enjoy every moment!

sofia had her very first 'outing' today ... not so grande a destination as the ice cream shoppe ... she had her first doctor's appointment. she (doctor) said our little angel isn't eating enough .. and WE thought she was gobblin' like a little piggie! the hospital gave wednesday a drawing of the 'size' of a baby's stomach .. the first couple days .. it is small as a MARBLE!!! then a few days later ... it's as large as a SHOOTER MARBLE .. and at ten days .. up to about the size of a QUARTER!!!
sofia lost about 8 ounces of her birth weight ... so wednesday was beside herself ... she immediately gave her more more more to drink .. and the little darling up-chucked!
we told her sofia is a baby bulemic ... gorge and purge ... which made her laugh .. but at the same time ... it sent her directly to a 'lactation specialist' this afternoon. she showed the two girls how to 'latch on' .. and sofia finally got the hang of it! the specialist said she will be a little 'chub-a-lub' in no time at all! so many new things to learn ... aren't babies amazing!
oh girls .. i am going to miss not seeing my grandes every day of their lives! kentucky, somehow, now seems so far away! only a six hour drive .. but i will be running the roads up this-a-way a lot more often now that there are TWO!

A favorite quote of mine seems fitting here. :)
"I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us." (Charles Dickens)
...and I will sing at the top of my lungs, and I will dance, even if I'm the only one! |
