Happiness-that everything I worked for and aspired to literally came to life in two minutes.
Fear-that my life had now irrevocably changed forever. That I wouldn't know what to do. That I would somehow do harm.
Awe-that what started out as a blip on a screen came out with two perfect arms, two adorable feet, the sweetest face and could fill a heart just by being.
Wonder-at how I got so damned lucky. At whether I was worthy of this. At whether I'd be any good at it.
Admiration-for their perfection.
Amazement-at what they do when they do it. At their interactions with each other, long before singles interact with others. At their responses to me, because, By Gawd! I'm a MOM!
