Tuesday Inspirations – From Mama to Baby

October 16, 2012 By Deena Leave a Comment

This is a quote from one of my student’s birth stories.  I was inspired by it and I hope you will be too.

Mary Cassatt’s Mother and Child

“B. is now 1 week new. She has already taught me the following:

There is always a higher level of pain a woman can endure;

If you need something, just fuss a minimal amount. If you don’t get it after you’ve shown patience, cry louder; 

Mother’s milk means everything; and

You can love someone you don’t know.

B.: I welcome you into my life with an open heart, sound mind and strong arms. I can’t wait to grow with you, I love you unconditionally.”
