This is one of the best and most accurate things I’ve ever read about what it feels like to have a brand-new baby. And Edith I gasped at your mom referencing Little Fur Family, one of my son’s favorite books. “Bless you, my child” 😭 I’m so glad you’re doing well and letting all these feelings come. The fear being the flip side of the love is SO RIGHT. I felt that way too. It gets so much easier in that department. The love gets better and better and the fear gets a lot easier, or goes away, or you grow to be able to handle those feelings without walking around being so scared. Thank you so much for sharing all this. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh Edith ... This story, this baby, might be the most beautiful thing you've ever made. Your lens on what happened so perfectly captures what I think is the experience of many parents ... deep existential awe wrapped in banal quotidian routine. Love the baby bat/monkey and love that you drew what we used to call "the one-armed burrito,' when they get one arm free from the swaddle LOL

I had a baby in November 2021 also named Georgia! This all felt very familiar and was conveyed so beautifully :)
