New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Hello, baby. Take your time learning the world. It'll be here when you're ready.
Welcome. May your first laugh be unexpected, your first steps be brave, and your first words be in your own time.
New baby wishes. We'll be the ones at the back of the photos, smiling. We won't move.
Welcome to the world, little one. Your parents have aged ten years in the last twenty-four hours, and they wouldn't trade a minute.
Hello, sweet new person. You are very, very loved. Already. Forever. Done deal.
