Life Slows Down

When there’s a new baby in the house, life slows down. The pace is soft, soothing. Each second I spend like this falls, like a trickle… There is nothing but to feed him, change him, keep him comforted, hold him close. Though the outside world may be trying to break down the walls around this peacefulness that characterizes this time, it has no choice but to wait. I take pieces of forever. To smell his sweet head, to embrace this sleepy warmth, to fill my heart with these moments that are just… me and him. My beautiful baby.
