she's been here nine days & it's as if she has been with us always, well, because she has. & of course there are growing pains with every transition, with every new being under the same roof, sharing the same air & spoons & attention... but so far it has been a relatively smooth ride. i see in her a tenderness, a wisdom, a peace. & the amazing ability to sleep through all the noise her brothers can possibly make.
so everything's new again & everything is the same.
& it may be a little too early to say for sure, but i think all the waiting, the longing... & waiting again for her arrival gave birth in me a new found pocket of patience.
or maybe it's the placenta smoothies.

i remember that transition phase so vividly, especially going from two to three. it's amazing how quickly it happens: one morning you just wake up and the newest has made themselves so at home and so at peace with your little tribe, you can't even imagine life before or without them.
