This mother is in a total awe of her creation. The joy, relief, and amazement on her face tell a story of how beautiful child-birth is. As she pulled her baby out and placed on her chest, all she could manage to say was “I did it.” Yes new momma, you did it. And what you made is the cutest baby ever. You are indeed a superwoman.
The expression on this mother’s face is divine. She breaks down when the baby is placed on her stomach for skin to skin contact for the very first time. The fulfilling feeling of bringing a new life into this world is too wonderful for words. And this mom’s expression does complete justice to it. Don’t you agree?
This mother holding her new-born in her arms for the first time couldn’t believe her eyes. She kept exclaiming ‘Oh my God!’ in sheer disbelief. And don’t miss the father’s grasp supporting the new mom and the baby.
This. Exactly this. Is Magic.
The magic that comes to life, thanks to all these strong, wonderful women.
