Today’s prompt:

How did you feel the moment you became a parent?

The very moment.

This picture is the the actual very moment I became a parent when Amelie was born. Wasn’t she cute? And so chubby! Over 9 pounds! I think the expression on my face kind of sums it all up. I had just given birth and it was AMAZING! I mean, I had pushed a human being out and had done all this hard work! I had this precious little girl in my arms and somehow she was mine! At the same time: Wow. I’m a mom now. I am responsible for the beautiful little thing. She’s finally here and she is a part of me. Forever. Wow. It was beautiful and breathtaking and overwhelming. What a moment.
