"I linger in the nursery doorway, admiring this new creature as he stands wailing, his little fists curled around the crib's slats, his skin talcum white in the moonlight." These descriptions; I can nearly see it right in front of me. marvelous!!
Shivers!! It was “shadow simmering” for me! Sub-layer: I was always afraid having a child would be the scariest experience. The mood you’ve painted here is not far off!
