When I finally held him, he stared up at me, with the moisturizing goop all over his eyes. He blinked slowly, as he must have been exhausted, yet he seemed very alert. He studied me. I studied him. Then, this overwhelming feeling of immense purity and perfection came over me... a specialness I can't describe really... but it was like the heavens opened for a brief moment to introduce us to each other and all the angels were looking on.
I felt a huge responsibility. I felt protective. I felt confident and inadequate all at the same time. I felt scared. I felt joy. I felt like I was beginning to understand how Heavenly Father feels about me.
In short, my life was completely redefined once David Maxwell Kapono Green became my son, and so I dub this is as the "mother" ;) of all "wow moments" for me.
(Sorry, guys, I couldn't find the pictures I wanted for this post. Hope you enjoy it anyway).

I agree, there is nothing like wanting a baby, and planning and waiting for him and finally holding him in your arms for the first time.
I have a hard time describing the day we met, so many feeling to try to put in words.
The best thing is he is yours forever.
