came across this.. it's beautiful.. 
When it is time for your very first snuggle with your very own baby savor the moment. Its one of the most magical moments youll ever know and once it passes, its gone, never to be duplicated.
You may be weary and shaking or wired and floating as you gaze for the first time into the eyes of this tiny stranger whose heart has been beating in concert with your own for the past nine months.
Your baby knows you, your voice, your smell, and wants nothing more than to be cradled close in your arms, held snugly to your breast. Lying with your newborn, there is no pressure to perform, no words to be said, no expectations to be fufilled. For this little while, this too-brief moment, you can finally rest and alllow yourself to simply be.
The person you were, the woman who didnt know her own strength and doubted her capacity for love is slipping away now, though it may be a while before you truly believe that shes gone. Try to catch her eye as she leaves, and thank her for taking you this far. Everything youd dreamed and all that you feared is behind youand in front of you.
Youre a mommy for real now. Youre a warrior. And this is what it means to be reborn.
