I cried reading it imagining holding our baby boy for the first time in May...I want to print it and put it in his nursery!</p> <p>The Newborn</p> <p>This mannikin who just now<br /> Broke prison and stepped free<br /> Into his own identity--<br /> Hand, foot, and brow<br /> A finished work, a breathing miniature--<br /> Was still, one night ago,<br /> A hope, a dread, a mere shape we<br /> Had lived with, only sure<br /> Something would grow<br /> Out of its coiled nine-month nonentity.</p> <p>Heaved hither on quickening throes,<br /> Tossed up on earth today,<br /> He sprawls limp as a castaway<br /> And nothing knows<br /> Beside the warm sleep of his origin.<br /> Soon lips and hands shall grope<br /> To try the world; this speck of clay<br /> And spirit shall begin<br /> To feed on hope,<br /> To learn how truth blows cold and loves betray.</p> <p>Now like a blank sheet<br /> His lineaments appear;<br /> But there's invisible writing here<br /> Which the day's heat<br /> Will show; legends older than language, glum<br /> Histories of the tribe,<br /> Directives from his near and dear--<br /> Charms, curses, rules of thumb --<br /> He will transcribe<br /> In his own blood, to write upon an heir.</p> <p>This morsel of man I've held--<br /> What potency it has,<br /> Though strengthless still and naked as<br /> A nut unshelled!<br /> Every newborn seems a reviving seed<br /> Or metaphor of the divine.<br /> Charged with the huge, weak power of grass<br /> To split rock. How we need<br /> Any least sign<br /> That our stone age can break, our winter pass!</p> <p>Welcome to earth, my child!<br /> Joybells of blossom swing,<br /> Lambs and lovers have their fling,<br /> The streets run wild<br /> With April airs and rumours of the sun.<br /> We time-worn folk renew<br /> Ourselves at your enchanted spring,<br /> As though mankind's begun<br /> Again in you.<br /> This is your birthday and our thanksgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-quote-makes-you-think-of-your-little-one#post-623770 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 05:51:37 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 623770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This quote makes me think of my LO's: "Making a child is momentous.

BEEMER: I don't have a quote yet for LO (she's only a day old) but I always sing the "ho hey" song by the Lumineers to baby in my tummy. I sang it to her since she's born too and I swear she recognizes it and I painted it for an artwork for her room: "I belong with you, You belong with me, you're my sweetheart..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-quote-makes-you-think-of-your-little-one#post-623691 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 02:57:14 +0000 tinyperson 623691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>“Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”<br /> ― A.A.

I'm not getting much when I pump!

When he's asleep or when I'm at work are really the only two times I pump. On occasion, when he doesn't eat alot, I pump after a feeding, but again, he's usually asleep then. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-funny-not-to-share#post-163228 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:45:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 163228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: Pump in the other room while babe is asleep.

I expressed some milk and thought the bag was sealed in the fridge. I went to get some water and the whole bag had leaked in the fridge. So upsetting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-funny-not-to-share#post-163212 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:15:50 +0000 sulli301 163212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@obxwife: hahaha! SO true!!

I feel like baby always cries to eat when I'm in the middle.

Where did you find that out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-funny-not-to-share#post-163079 Fri, 18 May 2012 15:21:17 +0000 jennylynn 163079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! So true. I spilled a whole container of freshly pumped milk (like 3 oz) in the beginning and it took everything I had not to cry. And just yesterday I spilled a whole bottle all over my husband! He was slightly horrified so it was too funny to cry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-funny-not-to-share#post-163073 Fri, 18 May 2012 15:10:57 +0000 His Barista 163073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it! Haha.<br /> DH was looking up how much it's worth-$2.50/oz in our area. That's as much as a gallon of milk! So I definitely take it more seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-funny-not-to-share#post-163072 Fri, 18 May 2012 15:10:05 +0000 prettylizy 163072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually cried once when I spilled milk after pumping. Thanks hormones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-funny-not-to-share#post-163070 Fri, 18 May 2012 15:07:12 +0000 lemondrop 163070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She gets it! I'll never use that expression ever again after finding out how much work it is :) But when I do spill, I think of it as a weight loss effort and it makes me feel a little better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-funny-not-to-share#post-163014 Fri, 18 May 2012 13:56:27 +0000 obxwife 163014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: The stuff is liquid gold my hoaa! ;) hahaha</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: you have a PUMP ROOM!?
