Today marks the completion of our daughter's first week of life!
Of course, that's not an official milestone in childhood or parenting, and although each subsequent week passed may add to one's confidence in your ability to keep a baby alive, they come so at a period so frequent as to be less momentous as the typically celebrated annual birthdays. I mean, come on, celebrating one's 1,231st second of life is pretty much the same as the 1,232nd. But still, compared to the grim alternative, we're still feeling a sense of if not accomplishment, at least massive gratitude (to quote Han, "don't get cocky, kid").
I suppose it's a bit like measuring yourself against which of the celebrity marriages your own has outlasted and the silly, but somehow still significant, sense of ease that gives you, so although not an official occasion, hmmm... hey, Hallmark, I think you're potentially missing out on a big market here...
