When DId You Fall In Love With Your Baby?

[fionas]

I'm just interested in other people's experiences on this.

I don't think I really expected to have that rush of love when DD was first born ... and I didn't . In the hospital, I was fascinated with her, but I don't think I felt love just yet.

Now, I'm someone who worries about most things but I didn't worry about it because I had read that it could take a while.

I think my 'moment' was when DD was a few weeks old and I was in the shower and I just physically missed her and wanted to see her little face. And then a little bit later, I was in a cab going to a physio appointment and I just had her smile in my head which made me smile and I wanted to open the cab windows and shout to the world, "I'M A MUM!"

And was it the same or different for all your babies?
