There's been a couple threads recently that reminded me of this article I read on another blog, so I wanted to share: http://offbeatfamilies.com/2012/09/i-had-to-learn-to-love-my-baby

The mother shares her shame in not feeling that over the moon love for her son right away. Below is her husband's response to her confession of how she was feeling:

"He pointed out that we were in a pretty crap situation, seriously deprived of sleep and couldn't really derive much pleasure from our newborn because he was either crying or asleep. He reminded me that we were getting to know Lucas, and he us, and that process takes time whenever you meet someone for the first time. We'd have to get used to him, and in understanding him more, we'd learn to soothe him and things would improve (we hoped)."
