We are exhausted, but full-hearted and, somehow, that makes up for the sleep we are lacking and the clear-headed conversations we are missing.
What a delight it has been to bring this boy into our family and to watch each other fall in love with him.
Our sweet little bear. 🐻
He is just over two months old now and it both feels like a moment and a lifetime since he was born; like I have always known him. He feels incredibly familiar to me and yet every time I look at him he changes and I must learn him anew. I don’t mind.
This joy is a privilege,
even in the most weary of times.
The wonderful thing about having older children is that, while I LOVE these newborn-days, I also know that so many wonderful and exciting things are in store for him and for us and I’m so excited to watch him experience them!
Just wait, little Blueberry, you’re life is going to be an adventure. 📷: Thank you for stepping into our home, @annafduncan, and finding the beauty in it.

Born November 4th after a short water-labor & natural birth.
