THAT HAIR, THOSE LIPS! She is perfection. I hope you’re doing well and enjoying every minute of that tiny girl! Also, my middle name is Brooke so I completely approve of her darling name (like you need a complete stranger’s approval!). Good luck in the days/weeks to come.
My advice is to let her sleep on you as much as possible. It will pass more quickly than you know!
