Many things have changed since we've had our little girl.. all for the better. Eloise is approaching three months and I feel like we've hit our stride. She cries, we know how to react. She smiles like she knows us. Our hearts melt. I feel like I can give so much love, more than I ever thought possible. I talk to other women who have children and I feel like I've been let into their club! And most things baby/child related make me weep on the spot. Case in point, the Wilco (my favorite band!) song, My Darling. Of course, hearing this before Eloise made me cry... now it has new meaning. It's just a perfect, modern lullaby. See the lyrics below and video following for an old but excellent performance. Lovely!
Go back to sleep now
My darling
And I'll keep all the bad dreams away
Breathe now, think sweet things
And I'll think of all the right words to say
Because we made you
My darling
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darling
Right from the start

| Three peas in a pod |
Go back to sleep now
My darling
And I'll keep all the bad dreams away
Breathe now, think sweet things
And I'll think of all the right words to say
Because we made you
My darling
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darling
Right from the start
Grow up now
My darling
Please don't you grow up too fast
And be sure, darling
To make all the good times last
Because we made you
My darling
With the love in each of our hearts
We were a family, my darling
Right from the start
