Dear Baby Girl, No One Told Me
No one told me.
No one told me that the pain in my body would pale when compared to the joy in my heart the day you were born.
No one told me how I’d feel holding you in my arms for the first time.
No one told me that when holding your tiny hand in mine that I would feel equal parts pure job and sheer terror.
No one told me how much more I would love your father for giving you to me.
No one told me what it would feel like having you stare into my face as if you were memorizing every detail of the face that went with the voice you knew.
No one told me I’d feel simultaneous relief and frustration everytime you’d cry out for me at night.
No one told me that my frustration would quickly fade as I snuggled your warm body into mine.
