I love my newborn.  There is a very magical kind of bond betwen a mother and baby.  That I already know her before she was born.  Her kicks, her movement in me for the 9 months before we met.  The knowing of her hands, feet, knees as she moved about in me.

Now 2.5 weeks on, I still feel in awe of how a little human being was formed and then born into this world, into my arms, and here I am holding my baby in  my arms tonight, nursing her, as I listened to the rain and the winds blowing outside my window.  I am totally in love with my newborn.

She has been entrusted into my care and oh, I will love her all my life.
