The tender, early postpartum days

Amanda Soule from Soule Mama just gave birth at home to her fourth child. I read her post just now and so related to what she describes here:


"And now...we're all thick in the fog of babyland over here - those post-baby moments that vascilate between: ouchy engorgement to milky bliss; the sibling meltdowns and squabbles that come with change to sibling love and adoration that melts a heart; sore, um, everything to endorphines and strength unlike any other; but mostly and most importantly, a whole lot of falling in love. It's just where I want to be."


What a wonderful description of something I've experienced now three times over. It's one of the most precious times in a family's life and Amanda beautifully captured it in words (and photographs...her baby's little foot in that picture is so new!).
