Baby weight- the birth of Rachel Elizabeth Little- a week old!

Baby weight

a soft heated bundle in the middle of my chest

quick breaths that make me slow my own.

I can't tell where she begins and I end.

tiny fingers, splayed on my chest.

whispers of hair

the lightest blonde lashes

perfectly sculpted little ears

surprisingly long feet.

cuddled up like a sweetsmelling frog

on top of my chest.

doll face

soft sighs of breath from

rosebud lips;

cuddled into the corner of my neck.

every movement is this tiny,

fragile,

breathtaking

Miracle.

Rachel.

and Rachel.

sit side by side in the middle of my heart,

in the middle of my chest.

I love you both, my sweetie peas.
