Baby’s breath
Upon my neck
Softly, sighing, singing.
Baby’s warmth
Against my chest
Blissly, breathing, beating.
Baby’s life
Within my arms
Lovely, loving, living.

I suppose you are a bit older now so it takes a bit longer. Baby is gorgeous.

That, and I had a C-Section. I’m always impatient with surgery recovery.
Thank you!

I had to have C-Sections too. Greg was a footling breech presentation so the doctor wouldn’t risk a natural delivery. I was disappointed at the time but a healthy baby is the most important thing. Try to rest if you can, I know it is hard with four other children and Christmas upon us.

Thank you. I thought you’d told me that before, and I’m sorry -from knowing how recovery is.

Precious. This is interesting. A family of my parents lost their granddaughter to a personal incident. The girls mother refused to give the girls time in place of drugs and wild living. I have done the opposite. I want a clean family and have privately adopted the girl. Non officially, but she and her sister knew my heart is open to give them love. They have accepted. I told the mother she is my sister. She smiled.
