not related to the new blog focus (that i am still defining, refining and soon being sure about) but a friend just gave birth this weekend and i'm still dumbfounded by the whole process. granted i'm human (duh) and i should be used to it by now, but this cutie baby sofia was inside my friend's belly 2 days ago. what an incredible beautiful and surreal happening. is it just me? it just will never cease to amaze me. it's fantastic that there's another human being on the planet. amazing how we can take care of her, pick her up, help'er out in the beginning. awesome how human babies are born cute for a reason, because we are so dependent when we're born. and just twinkling-special how this little baby will be learning how to move its legs to walk, how to make sounds that constitute a language and become a part of the world just like we all are. this is very moving and it always is. i won't cliche on you here because it's not a miracle. it's a part of life.
good luck to little sofia on this world. we already love you.
(and this post with an extra soft spot because of a specific baby yet to come. i already love my niece or nephew. don't know how it's possible because we know so little about it in its very few months of life inside my sister-in-law's belly, but the feeling's already here.)
