You can, however, enjoy pizza and a beer on a hammock in the backyard or Chinese takeout by candlelight in the nursery. Think of it as romance redefined. A new baby gives you an instant dose of perspective. Then and only then do you realize it truly didn't matter one bit. You are simply overjoyed by the very miracle that is your baby.
Small things become sublime pleasures to new parents.
The peachy soft head of your wee one. The sweet-smelling warmth of her. The way his little hand clutches your finger so tightly. Her first actual teardrops. Tiny yawns and sleepy baby smiles.
