New motherhood is a heady time full of unfamiliar emotion. Once out of the recovery room your baby is brought to you either to feed or just because. As you meet your baby for the first time, the realization dawns that the birth concept is truly miraculous. Staring into the baby’s face, seeing their fully formed hands and feet, you begin to see who they have turned out to be. Their eyes look into your face, trusting and innocent and you know, without a shred of doubt, that you will do whatever it takes to keep this baby safe, no matter how old they get. Those first few minutes open up a world to you that you had no idea even existed.
The love that begins to blossom inside of your chest for this baby is nothing like you have ever experienced before, full of wonderment, hope and awe. Throughout the next few months of physical healing, two a.m feedings, interrupted sleep and all the other new mother stresses, one look into that wonderful face is all it takes to get your situation back into perspective. A whole new set of priorities come into place. No longer in the me mode, you’re instantly transported into the baby mode, where everything you do in life is to the betterment of your child. Not a bad place to be if you’re ready for this change. To turn your focus on someone else for once in your life may be a new thing for a lot of new mothers in this day of the entitlement generation. They may come to find that this is what makes them the happiest.
