The Day The Child Was Born

One day, a pregnancy test gave you the news you were waiting for, the first step towards your dream. You got pregnant. You went through the endless wait, took control of your nerves, and after nine long months, the day you had been waiting for finally arrived: the day the baby was born.

Maybe reality did not live up to what you saw in movies and short stories when you were growing up. There were some things you did not expect. Maybe things did not go exactly as you and your partner had planned. But what really matters is that the day finally came: the day the baby was born.

Love at first sight

The birth was probably not like in the fairy tales. You did not look so good, and you learned the same thing as all other mothers: giving birth is one of the biggest struggles a woman has to face. You fought against time and the pain in your body.

And now all the difficulties are just memories. You know that every second of pain was worth it when you saw your child’s face, the fruit of your love. And in that moment, you understood what love at first sight meant.

Your child is here! You still can not believe it. The nurses have not even finished washing you yet, but you are excited and observe every little detail of your baby’s face.

You are enchanted by the calmness and tenderness of the child’s facial expression. You breathe in life; you exhale pure love. You’ve got a companion for life.

Here are your baby’s small, fragile hands. You move your fingers close to the child’s palm so that it has something to hold. You feel how the little fingers grab yours, as if the child in its own way asks you to hold it in your hand and never let go.

Your child has the power to hypnotize you when it splashes with its arms or legs. The movements are music to your ears, even in the deepest silence.

Your baby was born after a long journey

Bringing your child into the world was not easy. It was a difficult journey. You needed all the love and patience that your own mother gave you. You searched for all the information you could find and were hungry for knowledge.

You have reorganized your home, got rid of objects that are not suitable for the little one and filled it with all the things your child needs. You and your partner have learned to grow together on the rocky path to parenthood. And your child now becomes your teacher and guides you as parents.

The time has come for the first and most important agreement in life with your child. You will change your baby’s diapers, and your baby will change your life. These are promises that must be kept.

Make sure you think of the small print: with every smile, every tear and every game you share, you will understand that you are now breathing and dreaming for two.

To remember the day when the baby was born

How can we forget the day the baby was born? The day when hope was born again in our hearts. Our child now meant reflection, future, learning and life.

The most amazing thing in the world has happened. The miracle of life has manifested itself right before our eyes.

And those tears that fell along our cheeks were not tears of fear; they were tears of pure joy and love.

How are you? What do you remember from the day the baby was born?
