Those first 48 hours after your baby arrives is a whirlwind of indescribable emotions, overflowing joy, cherished visits from loved ones, and tender snuggles. Your new babe will already showing you their personality as you hear their tiny coos, see their lips curl as they cry, and feel how strong they are as you attempt to change them for the very first time. There is so much to take in and remember.

After you leave with the hospital, time will accelerate and so will your baby's changes. You will blink and your newborn won't fit in the palm of your hand. Before you know it, you'll be celebrating their graduation from high school. You may already be well aware of how fast time flies if you already have a child!

I firmly believe in the importance of cherishing every precious detail within those initial 48 hours post-birth. They encapsulate  of memories, love, tenderness, and awe-inspiring moments that I fervently wish for you to hold onto amidst the rush of activity.
