1. this onesie for a nephew, drying on a radiator.
Some weeks, there can only be one object that really matters. Just one object for me to use to convey the enormity of an occasion so huge I can’t quite wrap my head around it and so perfectly normal that it’s hard to imagine the rhythms of life before it happened. There are two new lungs breathing this same air with us, and a new load of laundry filled with tiny things. Spectacular and usual, both at the same time.
Oliver, I am so glad you’re here.

Oliver is such a lovely name. Congratulations Auntie and to the new parents and all the lives Oliver will undoubtedly touch. Children are such a gift.
Awww, such a precious photograph and such wonderful sentiments. Congratulations with the birth of your nephew (love the name, my littlest one is called Olivier). He is one lucky little boy to have been born into such a loving family.
Congrats on this new little member to your family! Such a sweet post! Have a great weekend.

Spectacular and usual is the perfect way to describe it. When I saw my first birth in the hospital that's how I felt. Spectacular and yet so normal at the same time.
