The First Week

The First Week: October 6th (post from my journal)
Newborns are hypnotic. We looked at our perfect, fragile and resilient son and thought "we made you.. who are you" and smiled.
Living in the moment is one way I'd describe the first week Dante was born. An overwhelming sense and respect for life and another humans worth is another. And last, an unimaginable and uniquely individual experience. Every minute we learned something new; how to hold, burp, cradle, rock, bath, change and calm him. . My mother was the expert and Rahav and I followed her lead like ducklings.
