I don't know what it is like to have just had a new born son or daughter. It must be defiantly an amazing feeling of hold the baby for the first time, and choosing name and things like that.
I visited my friend today at the hospital where she has been confined. I was so eager to cuddle her baby and in fact I was a little bit sad when I got there this morning and found out that the baby was still in the Nursery room. I was more than excited to cuddle her baby. I waited until the "showing time" for the babies in the Nursery room. As much as I wanted to see her baby I couldn't do anything because it's one of the hospital's rules. They have schedules for loved-ones to look at their babies in the room. The baby will only be brought to the mother until she's done taking her prescribed medications after her CS operation. So I waited until 5pm to see the baby because I was late for the 11 AM to 12 Noon schedule.
There she was lying on her bed when I came. I sat on a chair beside her bed. She was having her lunch in a soft diet. My friend and I chatted. I was so eager to listen about her first delivery experience. As much as I wanted to share to you about her wonderful and unforgettable experience however I felt the need to keep it to myself and respect her privacy. Think of it this way: You have been carrying this fetus for nine months. It now weighs about six pounds or more, and your body needs to provide an opening large enough for this baby to slide through when the time comes for its permanent eviction. When your baby is ready to be born, your body gets to work, and it is so well designed for the task that you can set your self and ego aside and just let your body take over. What an awesome experience.
I don't have a wrist watch so I kept on looking at my mobile to check the time. The waiting felt like eternity. When the exact time came, I hurriedly went to the Nursery room. There he was.. my friend's handsome baby. He was so cute, so innocent and so dainty. I wanted to cuddle him and smell the sweet scent of a newborn baby.
They say that it’s difficult to describe the emotions mothers feel when they hold their tiny bundles joy in their arms. Of course happiness and awe are common feelings, but other emotions often come into play—unexpected feelings that range from confusion to self-doubt to anxiety. This is God's gift. A very wonderful gift whom HE fearfully and wonderfully made.
Well..well..well.. (^_^)
..I'm left here pondering what it's like to be a new MOm?..
I thank GOd for the baby's life.. GOd created him..
Psalm 139: 13-16
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
