Our beautiful little boy, Hugo Charlie, was welcomed into the world on Thursday, 21 March. From the moment he was placed on my chest, crimson-faced, pudgy and squealing, we were smitten.
Now four weeks old, he is growing and changing so quickly before our eyes, I feel an overwhelming urge to record this time before the details are lost in the haze of these early days of endless feeds, nappy changes and (sometimes) sleep. I want to remember how I feel glued to the couch after cluster feeding for four hours straight, how I felt like I'd been hit by a truck in the days following the birth, and the gentle kisses I place on Hugo's head as he nestles on my chest like a little koala...
The days are long but the years are short.
