Today was supposed to be our little one’s baby shower. I was supposed to have my son tucked away safely inside while devouring tasty treats and sipping non-alcoholic beverages with friends and family.
Instead, were cuddling our son close to our chests in the
neonatal ICU, merely grateful he’s alive and doing better after being born nine
weeks premature.
At first I was disappointed that this little milestone
celebration had been cancelled, not only due to Covid19 but also because of
Archibald’s early arrival. But then I realised, as I kissed his little face and
breathed in the smell of his baby skin, how lucky we are to have this time with
him instead.
I guess I don’t have a moral to the story or some poignant
words of wisdom, but I can say that despite circumstances being what they are,
I couldn’t be happier to be curled up on an armchair with my adoring husband
and baby, spending quality time together as a family.
How are you spending your day?
