When your brother was only a few days old, he lost weight - a decent amount of weight. And it really scared me and Daddy. We consulted with a lactation specialist who really turned the tide for us and it was through that scare and the support group I joined that I made my mom friends in Brooklyn. I really don't know what I would have done without having those women to text at 3am, laugh with, whittle our maternity leaves away with and encourage through the bizarre business of becoming a family of three.
But along the way we also met ANOTHER superstar, a woman who writes songs and teaches music classes for babies and their parents. We hosted one in our tiny Brooklyn apartment and for a couple months our friends met weekly at our place with their babies. Her music got us through that first period and I tear up just hearing some of it even today.
Well she happened to be on tour across the bay today! So Noah and I got ourselves to the library where she did a concert and it made me so excited to
sing the songs for you, too. There's a good one about a bike ride, a galloping horse, and a great one about Sundays and having your mommy and daddy all day long.
You'll be even luckier because you'll have a big brother to do a bunch of the singing too! He is chomping at the bit to meet you these days.
Love,
Mama
