Mercy is nearly three weeks out of the womb and growing subtly but noticeably. She is, as a friend from work called her, my nueva angelita. The whole experience of having her earlier than expected caught me off guard and sent me into crisis management mode for a while. But recently I have found myself spending more time just staring at her sleeping and thinking about how no matter how many books you read, your own unique child will break the rules. Even black and white still has shades of gray. It gives us joy to see her slowly experiencing her new world and her little personality showing more and more.
