Thought for today:

Just something I read in the magazine that came with our Sunday paper, quoted from an article by Julia Baird, called 'The Maternal Dilemma':

"It would be a shame to lose reverence for those gentle, maddening months after a child is born, when you are in a sleep-drained reverie, stitched to a baby's rhythms and sweet suckling; when you watch them unfurl, watch their eyes focus on the world, their lips curl into smiles, their startled limbs jerk and then grow strong. When you delight in the life you have created, it becomes a lot less important to get your own life back the very next day."

No major point to be made; I just like the words. It comes pretty close to how I feel watching my baby (both babies) while breastfeeding.
