What did it feel like to hold your baby for the first time?

Baby fever here. Just want some cute stories that could quite possibly make me tear up:)

Re: What did it feel like to hold your baby for the first time?

  • You might want to post this on Getting Pregnant Moms.  A lot of the women on this board have yet to have that feeling...

  • Sorry I didn't know what that board stood for, I'll post there

  • Well, my littlest cat, Steve, is my baby. Holding him the first time was nerve wracking as he had razor sharp kitten claws and he was super wiggly. Also, I teared up a little cause he thought my neck was a scratching post. I imagine that holding a future baby will be easier, but similar.
    Not if you have a huge tear in your vagina.  I would imagine that would be distracting.

  • I doubt my baby will have claws. Duh.

    Plus, I plan to do lots of exercises "down there" and spray some Pam so I don't tear.

    Now that you said that your baby will for sure have claws.  Steve will have a kitten brother or sister that you will give birth to.  I think butter would be a better option. I hear the aerosol is bad for the environment.

  • Thanks ladies! I going to settle on a compromise. Molly McButter flakes. Good for the environment fat free, and buttery. I want my baby smellin' like Paula Dean. Y'all.

  • Butter for sure, or olive oil. At that point you don't need the extra Virgin status because well...

    Are you calling me a slut?

    Oh em Gee! You are so over dramatic! But yes, I am! Deal with it, yo!
  • Are you calling me out? Meet me in the playground at 10. Don't bring nobody.
  • Nope. Totally joking. I'm all talk.

    I'm just a little salty today because of the faux butter in my nethers.
