We were a family, my darling, right from the start...

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! 

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
