I didn't get that rush of love...

When both Moo and Teddy were born, instantly I cried when I first saw them and I felt an emotion. What it was I couldn't explain, but I wouldn't say it was an all consuming love. It was more a instinct that had shot through me. That no matter what, I would do everything I could to keep them safe.

For me I'd say it was around week 2/3 that I had that dip from my throat to the pit of my stomach, a sick feeling, it was love. I realised I loved them at that moment.

But I'd say the time I could really think about it and embrace the feelings was week 6. Finally I enjoyed watching them for hours, kissing their soft cheeks and smelling their little baby heads!

Please don't worry if it doesn't happen straight away that 'bond' the 'buzz' your maternal instinct is built into you and when it happens its magical!
