After it had been sitting on the shelf for a year or so, we broke out our nice camera when we went to the Keukenhof a few weeks ago. When I got around to loading the photos onto the computer after our trip, I was surprised and delighted to find a bunch of images captured from the first few days after Lark’s birth.  We did have the sense to drag the camera out for such a momentous occasion, but I apparently was suffering from “new mom brain” just long enough to completely forget about the photos until after Lark was a year old. She was the tiniest little thing. Can you even believe those little legs?? I mean, just give me all the heartbreak emojis and another baby immediately. Where has the time gone?! And let’s not forget about (little!) big sister Prim! She was just 21 months when Lark was born. I definitely felt like she was such a big kid at the time, which, compared to brand-new Larky, she was, but now looking back at these pictures I’m like, she’s a baby!

Also that no-makeup + robe + unbrushed hair look is straight #newmomlife all the way. We even had a few pictures of the kraamzorg taking care of Lark, since that was the week she was at the house. That little hammock is how she would check Lark’s weight every few days (look at those teeny feet peeking through!) Luckily, though Lark was very little, she breastfed and gained weight like a CHAMP.

Oh man, all the feelings, guys. All the feelings.
