I am (new mum)

[Strawberry_lovemuffin]

I am
Watching a movie-boy's face crumple at the thought of his dead mother
And it strikes me now,
I have someone who will love me like that ...

I am
Standing over her bassinette as she sleeps
Watching her pale cheeks in the half light

I am
Prying her tiny complete fingers apart to see if the curves match mine

I am pinning socks on the washing line
Smaller than the peg

I am smelling her hair
instead of eating my dinner
Listening to her music ahhh from the monitors

I am exploding when I see her gummy grin

I am smiling when friends talk of going out and hitting it hard
It's another world
I've been to already

Here is amazingness they have yet to know

I am
a new mum.

The purity of this strikes me as interesting, never having experienced it before...a good read.

I wanted to just post a in response to this because that's how it made me feel but dumb posting rules said it was too short, so instead you get to see me rabbit on about how it made me feel smiley.

Smiles all round. I love the bit about the socks being smaller than the pegs!

It's incredible how tiny a sock can get. Thanks guys It isn't a masterpiece but it's one of those blurting ones I just had to get out... I don't think anyone can truly describe their love for their children.

This is the post I was looking for.

I'm so happy for you.

So happy. So beautiful.

May your love grow and grow as time goes on; as she gets bigger she will only love her Mum more.
