It wasn't instant with my DS. I remember crying with joy when I heard him cry for the first time (it was the only way I knew he was out after my c/s), and I remember not getting any sleep for a couple of days after he was born because all I could do was smile cause my baby was finally here. I also basically refused to let him out of my sight the whole time I was in hospital... But I wasn't 'in love' with him. I'm really not sure when I fell in love with my DS. It wasn't one defining moment, but something that happened gradually.

Now I am totally and completely in love with him, and quite honestly, could (and often do) spend all day just watching him . And now he squeezes me back when we have cuddles... it truly makes my heart melt every time .
