Celebrating a new baby is such a blessing! The first days or week can be like a heavenly dream - and then the new reality of sleep deprivation begins to take effect. Luckily as the demands on physical endurance increase, so does our capacity to give, for there is absolutely nothing stronger than the instinct to protect, and love this fragile newborn in our arms. This song of the heart deepens with time, as I’ve watched in my daughter Ariel and her husband David, as they care for their son - falling more profoundly in love with him each week. As a grandparent, remembering my own first days of blissful chaos, I proudly cheer from the sidelines, give help when needed, all the while falling hopelessly in love with the little bundle myself. May these gentle songs help soothe your nights as they have his.
Linda
