I thought my life was complete but in this moment it seems it was nothing before he came. My heart feels so full it could burst and tears fill my eyes. I can’t help but sob at the wonder of finally seeing his face. I know in that instant that I would gladly die for him, or kill for him, if he ever needed it. I am shaking all over as the midwife places him on my chest. “You’re here, you’re real!” I tell him. I giggle a little at his slimy, wrinkly expression. I’ve always thought brand new babies were kind of gross and ugly, but he is not. He is the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on.
