I believe that one of the hardest things to imagine, to anticipate, and to plan is to imagine your life after having a baby. I used to dream about that moment, but it felt so far and distant that I couldn’t compare it to anything I felt before.
And experiences from other people didn’t really help… as they were mostly about how hard it is, how you’ll never sleep, how it’s challenging. But I wanted to hear about love!
I wanted to hear about how it feels when you hold them for the first time. How does it feel when you kiss them for the first time?
