What do the words “First Impressions” mean to you? For me,
I first think of the title Jane Austen originally had in mind for Pride and
Prejudice. Today, as I was laying out a set of hand-me-downs for the next
size up from what my baby girl is currently wearing, I noticed the clothing tag
near the neckline of this little onesie: “First Impressions”. I was thrilled of
course that my child would be wearing something that is remotely Jane Austen
related. But I also thought of my first impressions of her, my little flower:
my initial thoughts when I found out I was expecting, my first ultrasound where
I prayed to hear the doctor say that there was a heartbeat, the first initial
nudges from her on the other side of my belly button, her contented face when
she was laid upon me after her arrival, her pink glow in the incubator when I first
visited her in the neonatal intensive care unit, all those moments when she
fell asleep on me or near me. I am under her spell…
Your little flower is indeed lucky to have a Mom who is spellbound, in love with every moment. No doubt, she will always feel that love as she grows into a beautiful woman herself, just like her Mom. She will continue to make impressions in your heart each and every day :) Soak up every moment as it goes much too quickly ~ Judi
