When is it real?

Last night, I was sitting on the couch with Graham and had Eden asleep on my shoulder. It was such a peaceful moment. I looked up at Graham and whispered, "You know what? We got the only perfect baby."

Now, I know, I know some of you out there might be thinking that you have a perfect baby, too. But in my little world right now, somehow we got the only perfect one. If there is such a thing as a "honeymoon period" with a newborn, I'm definitely in it now.

Eden always looks so overwhelmingly sweet when she's asleep and to have her asleep in my arms last night ... it still felt like a dream. I found myself looking around at her and Graham and thinking "Wow, is this really real?" I find myself asking her all the time lately (as if she'll all of a sudden answer me) "How are you here?" and wondering when she'll really seem real. Maybe she'll always seem like my little miracle--real and a dream all at the same time.
