babymoon

Everything smells like milk.

Precious and fleeting, these newborn days roll into each other as Percy slowly unfurls. We spent his first week in bed and while he slept I drank tea and ate cake; essential ingredients for an enjoyable babymoon.

We are so blessed with two sets of doting grandparents who have been here every second day; washing, tidying, ferrying the kids to school and making sure the evening meal is ready when hunger strikes. Poet's preschool organised a two-week meal roster for us which began today - two weeks of nutritious meals made with love. Indeed, we are lucky.

For now and the next while, I'll take it slowly. Whilst my body has recovered well, I'm still tender and tired. I'm resting while I can because all too soon, we'll be full-swing into our new kind of normal.

  1. So glad you have that support around you. A caring community can be so nurturing during these times and everyone deserves that during recovery and nothing can be more precious than you getting to focus on your newborn Percy x

  2. I love the tiny little bubs and he does look as if he wouldn't have minded staying curled up inside a little longer. Adorable and resting up is the key. Regards Kathy A, Brisbane

  4. What a sensible way to start out. I think I will try and aim for this too - plenty of time in bed together with tea and cake. Just what the doctor ordered! So wonderful to do life in community. How wonderful to have so many helpful people around you all. Grace and Peace.

  15. What a lovely thing for the preschool to organise, being part of a caring community makes such a difference. I love that term 'unfurls', I'm imagining the new ferns of the year with their fronds slowly unfurling. Natural and beautiful. Percy is gorgeous, enjoy that milk smell while it lingers x
