Imprint
The age-old wisdom states that the imprinting of the image of a mother onto the newborn is incredibly strong. I’ll say that the imprint of the image of my beautiful daughter, whose round already-expressive eyes looking around (and at me) in anxiety, curiosity and wonder in the first moments I met her has been indelibly etched in my mind. We love Isabelle Amara Lim and we welcome her to the world.
