You feel Kailani’s arm work across your lower back, her fingers coming to rest on your hip as she holds you closer. She lets out a long, satisfied sigh as you both stand over your daughter. "Thank you for this," she says, but doesn’t elaborate on what it is she’s thanking you for. Not that you need her to.
It’s weird, though. Now that you’ve spent your time with Opal, and now that she’s asleep... you kind of want to spend more time with her. Babies need their rest and all, but, you just... well, you’re being selfish. It’s better to let her sleep.
|As wonderous as it is to marvel at your newborn kit... there’s not a whole lot of ‘bonding’ you can do with her while she’s asleep. You know better than to disturb her rest, and babies need a lot of it. It’s better to let her sleep.
Babies, though, are also not known for being discreet when they wake up. She’ll probably have plenty of energy during the day for you to bond.
