Tenderness, Laughter, and Precious Moments

From pregnancy through sibling arrival, this tender and funny pictorial touched me deeply. Quotes from everyone from Erica Jong to "anonymous" express the emotions of parenthood unlike any I've ever read; it was as though my own mother and I wrote down our most cherished feelings for each other. Each picture captures a different aspect of babyhood in new ways. "A baby is G-d's opinion that the world should continue" is an example of encouragement to new mothers. Richard Armour's poem "Miniature" is included, which perfectly expresses the truth in a loving way: "My day-old son is plenty scrawny, His mouth is wide with screams, or yawny, His ears seem larger than his needing, His nose is flat, his chin receding, His skin is very very red, he has no hair upon his head, and yet I'm proud as proud can be, to hear you say he looks like me."
