This picture Ananga took after the staff cleaned Minako and handed her back to me. At this point I was ready to give Minako her first meal. Easier said than done, Mina nor I had the natural instint. Not as easy as you would think. But that seemed to be the case with the labor, delivery and then the breastfeeding.

Never did I imagine that there could be pain that existed like this. When women say it is like mestral cramps just worst they are lying!! There is no explaining it, or comparing it. But the moment she came out there was an unbelievable relief and it wasn't only because the pain stopped. I heard that cry and I then knew that I had a baby, a healthy baby who was screaming. They put her on my tummy and I was at ease. I didn't really look at her at first. I was still dizzy from the delivery.

Sleepy from her huge travel (still a little dirty)

Now she is all clean and we are in our room

Minako and I are bonding quite nicely

Don't we look alike?

Dad's checking to see if all the piggies are there.
