Seeing your baby for the first time

A pregnancy is a nine month bonding period between mother and child. Yet only at birth can the mother associate her intimate feelings with a face. Seeing your baby for the first time can be a surreal experience.

Many curiosities will be put to rest the moment parents meet their newborn. A first curiosity is the general well being of the child. Seeing them take little breaths and rub their nose will comfort the new parents. Many parents observe the features of the new child. Do they have mom's black hair or dad's big nose? Each detail of your blessed infant will fill a heart with warmth. Seeing your little one's small hand for the first time will be forever cherished.

There is a saying in life that first impressions are important. When it comes to meeting your child for the first time, that saying is very true!
