Giving birth is an ecstatic jubilant adventure not available to males. It is a woman’s crowning creative experience of a lifetime.

There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep.

A sleeping child gives me the impression of a traveler in a very far country.

With every newborn baby, a little sun rises.

The only thing worth stealing is a kiss from a sleeping child.

Let them sleep, for when they wake they will move mountains.

There is such a special sweetness in being able to participate in creation

Babies smell sweeter when they are sleeping.

Words can not express the joy of a new life.

You’re my favorite reason to lose sleep.

Babies smile in their sleep because they’re listening to the whispering of angels.

You may hate being pregnant, but the minute the baby is born, she is God’s precious child, given to you as a gift.

For this child, I have prayed and the Lord has granted the desires of my heart.

Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God.

I love you as high as airplanes fly.

A man is not complete until he has seen the baby he has made.

A baby fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.

Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.

A baby’s cry is heaven’s anguish, but their smile is heaven’s joy.
