It was the best gift I have received. Having my baby boy out was the most wonderful thing. I could not describe how much happiness I felt after seeing my baby. Well, the labor pains was the worst. And I delivered my baby normally without epidurals. It was painful, yes! But when I saw my baby and heard him cry, everything seemed alright. I was lucky to have him out on Mother's Day. The hospital where I gave birth gave me gifts for myself and the baby. They even gave us discounts on my delivery fee and room charges.

Truely, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When our children were born I was so proud of my wife and loved her to bits. But the babies? Red, wrinkled and looking as if they had just come out of 15 rounds in the boxing ring!! haha Oh and they have mummies nose and grandma's eyes and .... please!! Grandpa's whisp of hair maybe but that's all. haha But yes, you love them dearly and even years later when they can hurt you sometimes, you still love them unconditionally. Congratulations on your lovely boy, shynie. Health and happiness to you both for ever.

Congratulations on your new baby. I remember giving birth to my daughter 16 years ago also and I was so happy that she was born beautiful and healthy. I was in labor for 15 hours though. that was the worst part for me too. I almost had my daughter on Valentine's Day. She was born two days afterwards. It is neat that they gave you a discount.

Congratulations shynie! I have been wondering about you! That really was a very special Mother's Day gift. Isn't it amazing how you go from feeling the absolute worst you've ever felt to pure joy in those last minutes of labor until you see your baby finally. That's a feeling you'll bnever forget.

Thats awesome. I had my second daughter 4/25. It is an amazing feeling becoming a mom. No matter how painful it is when you see that face or hold them the first time it is all irrelevant. Congrats on the new baby. They are truly a blessing.

It is the painful thing you would feel but seeing your baby it the cure for the pain. COngratulations and ^_^ belated happy mother's day. Someday I would have to undergo what you've been through and i will wait for that. They say its a different feeling when you just have your first baby... Mixed emotions...
