A newborn baby’s life depends on being close to her mother, not only to see her but so she can keep her warm and safe. Her whole being is designed to make her mother want to keep her close. Her endearing round forehead, tiny nose, big round eyes and chubby limbs trigger deeply ingrained emotional responses that make her mother want to help and protect her. Sometimes, we take their baby days for granted, letting life take hold and let the days pass before your eyes. So when you see her little face today, take a second to sit back and smell the roses because before you know it, she wont need you anymore. Give thanks and please be sure to hold your babe a little tighter tonight!
