This moment I will never forget. It was a brief glimpse that changed everything. Exhausted and flooded by a torrent of emotions, it was a sight that turned all negative to positive, that washed away any doubts, that offered a sense of hope never felt before. With an uneven voice, I asked, "Is that our baby?". Of course, I realize now, the dark spot that appeared momentarily was unmistakably the very top of a head full of gorgeous dark hair. Nia's most noticeable feature was also the first I had the pleasure to see.
Four days later and we still find ourselves constantly caressing that silky soft head of hair. It's a good thing that Nia enjoys it because we would have a problem if she didn't! We've already had hours of entertainment playing with Nia's hair. Her faux-hawk actually looks pretty good. Maybe she'll grow up to be a punk rocker. Great, now I can never let her read this blog... ;-)
