I think pregnancy is one of life’s great wonders   Every time a baby is born a miracle happens.  I once saw a slogan on a pregnant woman’s T-shirt saying:” I grow humans, what’s your superpower’  I would definitely wear a shirt like that. Pregnancy is just one of the many wonders of the world we live in.This little one is only 3 weeks old and her name is Liesel (weighing in at 3.5 kg).  She has a gorgeous head of hair and big blue eyes. As a woman I just can’t help to melt whenever I see sich a tiny little baby, it must be instinct. I have loved babies since I wasn’t one myself anymore Kobus and Juanita doesn’t even look like they’ve been waking up at night to feed their little one every three hours.  I think that’s how the bond of love is also strengthened. How can you wake up every three hours for something you don’t love?  All of my mom’s kids smiled at her the first time in the middle of the night when seh was dead-tired and almost felt that she couldn’t go on. That’s the way it is with kids, they demand so much time, love, attention, hugs, kisses, play (everything really) even when your really tired, then out of the blue one day they say:’ I love you ‘ or hug you and somehow, that makes everything ok.

“A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on. Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. The finest of our precision watches, the most super-colossal of our supercargo planes don’t compare with a newborn baby in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs, in the flow and change of chemical solutions, in timing devises and interrelated parts that are irreplaceable.“

~ Carl Sandburg quotes
