Tuck a cloud up under my chin. Lord, blow the moon out, please! Poor Posey! Having lolled through the Miss Cervix Universe pageant excitement, she is ready to romp. Here's hoping the moon winks out; she tucks in under that cloud - and gives mama a nice long rest tonight - after a good feed, of course! How tiny yet powerful are these unwitting tyrants, our babies. Oscar's eyes are amazing. He looks enthralled. Bed is too small for my tiredness;
Give me a hillside with trees.
Tuck a cloud up under my chin.
Lord, blow the moon out, please!

Poor Posey!

Here’s hoping the moon winks out; she tucks in under that cloud – and gives mama a nice long rest tonight – after a good feed, of course!

Oscar’s eyes are amazing. He looks enthralled.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. Hello
I wanted to share with you a poem that I found very meaningful:

On Children by Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

All three of mine have had jaundice, delightfully enough. Wipe her little neck and forehead and aunts with a cool cloth when it's time to nurse to keep her alert and don't overdress her. Hope she's feeling better today - this will pass. Beautiful baby!
