I love that moment when I see Penelope for the first time after being away, maybe I've been out of the house for an hour or her big sister has been holding her, and I immediately feel my chest get warm and my milk letting down. My first reaction might be, "Oh damn, did I remember to put pads in? Am I about to soak my shirt." But my second reaction is the deep appreciation for what's happening in that moment. It's a physical representation of our hearts being tied together. I'm loving her and she is trusting me for what she needs. I believe they call it bonding. I'm relishing it.
