~ Having a baby is like falling in love again, both with your husband and your child. ~
~ Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit. ~
~ It was the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my whole life into. ~
~ Loving a baby is a circular business, a kind of feedback loop. The more you give the more you get and the more you get the more you feel like giving. ~
~ When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl. ~
~ Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things -- wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring. ~
~ A baby usually wakes up in the wee-wee hours of the morning. ~
~ I believe that each personality is complete at conception and comes in the soul of every child. ~
~ A two-year old is kind of like having a blender, but you don't have a top for it. ~
~ A woman can learn a lot from holding a new baby. It is life beginning again—sweet possibilities! No problem in the world is big enough to be remembered. ~
~ The worst feature of a new baby is its mother's singing ~
