Learning...

I can't believe how the days have flown by. Our little baby is now 15 days old. Mummy left back to Boston this morning and even though it is only a matter of days now until we go, we miss her a lot. There is no saying what a help she was and how special it was to see the generations coming together. Having a daughter now, I think I love my own mother even more. It is so amazing. Samara's perfectly peaceful stint seemed to end on Tuesday and there have been a lot of tears (well, just mine, not hers as she won't have tears for some weeks still...) and sleeplessness, but we're learning together. She just doesn't seem to want to sleep during the day at all and gets her poor little self into such a state. It is heartbreaking not being able to help her more. I have much to learn. I am mesmerized by her beauty and perfection and can gaze into ever-growing blue eyes endlessly. They are rarely shut! We have so many special moments every hour that passes and we can't believe how lucky we are. I can't wait to take her properly home.
