They are easier to detect after the fact. They are uncanny encounters, brushes with the supernatural, where the presence of the Lover accompanies us in a very real way, sheltering, directing, loving, moving, giving life to our everyday existence. You can't totally explain the experience, but you leave shaken to the very depths, knowing that you have been kissed by the Divine.

Inspector Ivan and doted on Dominique
Ivan making sure Dominique's car seat passes approval.
He was not too pleased with how her bath went over, but she was happier once she was all cuddled up again.
I placed Dominique in the recliner and big brother just had to get in next to her.
One of our biggest challenges for the big brother is letting her sleep. While Ivan had much peace for sleep, Dominique has had to adjust to a house full of noises (and I mean FULL). Ivan dragged this box over to take a closer look at his sister and exclaim (loudly) that she had gone night night. He also likes to shake her bassinet. I wouldn't mind him rocking her if she was trying to fall asleep, but he prefers doing this when she is already down for a nap.

Such an attentive, concerned big brother.
You will have it made in the future as he protects her from the adversities of life.
The journey will be an adventure.
Congratulations from Ian & I! Sounds like things are going wonderfully and Ivan is doing great with the changes! Wow! So excited for you and Brian. Love, Janet
Baby no#1 changes you from a couple to a family, which is a blessing in itself. But baby no#2 is equally exciting since it turns baby #1 into a big sibling, which is also very special to watch, as they form a bond and relationship. I can't wait to make Harrison a big brother!!! Enjoy watching them grow together for a lifetime of fun and love and friendship!!! You're doing a great job at motherhood, you make it look so easy...what's your secret?!
