Day 7: Bundle of joy

Its after years I'm seeing a new born. Anna Isabel; my niece. Only big as your forehand, with tiny wisps of black hair, her cheeks softer than the cotton candy, her fingers so fragile, cocooned within her blanket, she sleeps peacefully...

I felt a rush of emotion when I saw her first. It overwhelming to see a life so pure, so delicate, born into this beautiful world... I see why you call a baby bundle of joy. :) She blinked open her eyes, traced our movements with her pebble black eyes.. Wonder how much does she understand. It must be a quite a shocker for her to come out of the womb into a cacophony and grasp all thats going on around her. After about 20 minutes, she decides to fall back to sleep. After all its people standing around her cradle and blabbering something which she can make no sense of.

I had taken work at home today as I was baby sitting my elder nephew. Being around a 5 year old is a definitely a stress remover. We watched tv for a while, played house where I would "cook" for her dolls and go to imaginary markets to buy groceries. We should learn a thing or two from these little ones, like how they dont worry about anything else, how they let their imagination run wild, how they would patiently build legos. I learnt a thing or two from her today. :) Re-learning few things.

I'm getting Athena tomorrow. :)

A week has gone past since I started blogging regularly. :) One happy thing a day! So that itself is pleasing!

93 days to go! :)
