Love is

Love is holding your minutes old baby. Smelling his newborn smell. Being happy that labor is over and this baby is here. Being surprised it is a BOY! Feeling your heart fill up with love for this person who is completing your life.



This was Tim's birth, who was peacefully born at home in the Netherlands, after a very intense labor. I was so amazed and in awe that my body had produced this perfect human.

He is a teenager now, time sure does fly.

Posted in honor of Chookooloonks Love Thursday. For the last few weeks, I have been wanting to participate, but never was organized enough. Today, I finally am!
