A mom can’t resist a newborn baby.
Their little arms, feet, and squishy rolls,
how they sleep with their little hands up close to their ears and the little stretches that tighten their whole body,
their gummy smiles as sweet as candy and filled with a ray of sunshine you never knew existed until it flashes at you,
their eyes that look at you so intensely, and when they connect with their mom, love is given and received through only a look,
their baby smell is so delicious that you want to bottle it up and whiff it all the time,
the milk drunk look, where they're so content and sleepy, with half a smile and milk dribbling down their cheeks,
the sweet gulping sounds they make when drinking,
their hair, so soft to stroke,
swaddling them into cute little burritos,
feeling them grab your fingers,
how they nuzzle into your chest as you feel their little bodies rise and fall,
and their chubby baby thighs that you want to nom nom nom.
And it's nice to be able to fit your whole world into your arms,
even if it’s just for a short while.
And that’s why a mom can’t resist a newborn baby.
