Motherly Instinct

I just wanted to record something that I felt was really neat. They put me under for the surgery which was kind of scary for me. I have never had surgery or been put under before and having a baby inside to worry about made it even more difficult. As they pushed me into the operation room I just remember praying over and over for my baby to be okay. The thing that I found amazing though was after the procedure when I was waking up, I don't really remember anything except I do remember the first words out of my mouth and those were, "Is my baby okay?" I don't even remember what they responded. I just find it fascinating that I was so out of it at that point, my mind was completely in the air, and yet my body and heart was still some how aware of the precious cargo that it was carrying enough to ask about her little well being. I remember laying there as I came back to reality holding my tummy in hopes to feel her move, and yet I could not utter another word. It was so amazing for me to recognize that motherly love that is so often spoken of and to feel its strength. I do love this baby so much already and I know that that love will just continue to grow. What an incredible thing motherhood is and I am so honored to join.
