Newborns

You know that feeling you get when you are falling in love? Having a baby lets you experience that joy and awe of a special person all over again. You get to delight in every little thing they do and spend hours just staring at their face. You know that feeling you get when you miss somebody? I think that's what love feels like. You want that person near. Even more close than physically possible. You love that person so much that your body feels an ache when you are apart. That's what it feels like when you have a newborn, only it's even more intense. For so long you were one, and then suddenly you are two and your body doesn't feel complete anymore. Even with your baby snuggled in your arms they just aren't close enough, and you miss them even though they are right there looking at you.
