2 weeks 5 days - Love like this...

Oh, I love her so much. 

Geneva is nearly 3 weeks old.  I still haven't finished writing her birth story.  I don't have a lot of time where she's not in my arms, and when I do, I find myself spending it showering, cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, eating, and sleeping.  There's so precious little time for those things - I haven't picked up the computer for more than 10 minutes in at least 2 weeks. My entire life has changed, my priorities have shifted, my world is a new place full of uncharted territory.  Anything for her.  I miss her when she's sleeping, and find myself wanting to snuggle up with her the way a child cuddles with a favorite stuffed animal.  She's so small and soft and warm.  I wonder how I've lived my whole life without knowing her?  And she's a stranger I'm getting to know, but at the same time, I feel like I know her intimately, like we're part of the same soul...does that sound crazy?  Probably.  I'm tired.  I love this little baby. 

She hiccups all the time - most especially after a meal.  She makes the most adorable little noises.  We're calling her Hiku - our little HikuHiku baby. 

Sometimes it just washes over me - I have a daughter.  A child.  A baby girl named Geneva.  I wondered for so long if this day would ever arrive.  Here I am, here we are.  Happiness defined. 

She's snoring a little.  I wonder if it is something I should worry about, or do all babies snore?  She's so pretty and sweet and wonderful.  I love her so much.
