Sierra is 22 pounds and 10 ounces of wonderous joy. She has a magical spirit and an enchanting smile that has earned her all kinds of nicknames including, but not limited to Sugarplum, apple dumpling, lil sweet potato, gum drop, angelbaby, guapa,mi vida, my chilean cherub, mama's precious girl, chunkymonkey, fairybaby, princess, mein liebling, dewdrop,buttercup,smileygirl, and of course, my favorite, "sweetheart " because that truly sums her up.
the girl with the sweetest heart. She smiles ALL the time, even when she is fussing, I often laugh at her and never wanting to miss out on a joke... she will stop her crying, to laugh with me,.... laughing at her.
She greets every stranger, as though she has known them forever, she can melt the most cumudgeony of hearts... and will readily allow anyone to hold her, but she will always keep her eye on me...
People often say, what a beautiful baby. In those moments, I say thank you with overwhelming da vinci pride, as if she is my mona lisa...my hard won masterpiece but I also know that she is her own person, and as such, she has created her own beauty. Her smile is her own, her happiness completely of her own making.
I have yet to get used to the idea that she really truly is my very own baby. I sometimes fear that her "real parents" are going to come home, and take her away. I know how irrational that sounds, but it is just that I honestly never thought that I would ever have a child, let alone one as precious as Sierra.
I sing her to sleep most every night, even though I can not sing. I sing to her, with my mouth smooth against her cheek so that she can feel the vibrations. I sing her the words of my heart, and in these moments, I often have tears in my eyes...
and in the small clutching arms of my precious child, it is the closest to god, that I will ever be.
and I can not stop giving thanks.
thank you god. thank you. for such abundance.
