Breastfeeding bliss

As I relax into my seat and let out a gentle breath, my babe slows her sucking and I look down to see her eyes are fixed on mine. She studies me, learning and relearning my features and expressions. She pauses mid-suck to smile and make one of those lovely contented gurgle sounds.

My heart rushes and in that instant, I know.

I know She knows...

She knows that I am hers,

and that She is mine...


I feel so blessed to have this little soul with me on this journey. I am so grateful she chose me to be her mother.
