It wasn't immediate for me either, and I think there is a lot of pressure to "feel the love" the moment your baby is placed on your chest. For those of us who experience it more as a process, it's good to know there are others out there like us.

This happened to me with my second baby, so I felt doubly guilty - I love the first one, but not her! Oh, no! Couple that with enormous sleep deprivation, and it didn't make for a good first year. Of course, she grew on me; but for a long time I couldn't shake a sense of guilt for not loving her right away. Now, after 6 kids, I have better perspective, of course. But I hope some newish mother in my situation finds this post and reads it! suburbancorrespondents last blog post..<a href="http://suburbancorrespondent.blogspot.com/2008/07/here-we-go-round-mulberry-bush.html" rel="nofollow">Here We Go 'Round The Mulberry Bush...</a> So wonderful of you to admit to this!

Thank you for having the courage to write this post and put it out there. For women who don't instantly bond with their kids, I think that it's so important for them to know they're not alone, and that if they talk to the right people, they will not be judged for it. Also, that picture of the moosh in the pink hat makes me want to just kiss her all over. SO CUTE! <em>Rachael's last blog post..<a href='http://snotw.blogspot.com/2008/05/summer-plans.html' rel="nofollow">Summer Plans</a></em> I was in love with my son before I had him, but I know it’s not that way for a lot of moms.

That picture was taken when Boog was 2 weeks old and my smile was so forced and fake. I remember when he was 6 weeks old I wanted so badly to return to work even though I had 6 more weeks of maternity leave. I think this is more common than most moms think because no one talks about it. I'm glad you posted this. I think new mom's need to know that it may not be love at first sight and that is ok.

Little C is adorable and I love her to pieces, but it took me a while. She's six and a half months now, and I get it now, then, it was an obligation.
