The act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety.

Birth was something that came quite unexpectedly, and afterwards there was one child more in the house.

A baby's existence for the first three months is a one-way street. One person is doing all the work and the other is crying, sleeping and pooping. So the first moment when you're actually able to do something and they acknowledge your presence, that's a big deal. A very big deal.

It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.

Babies choose to lackadaisically notice the quirkiest of details - unlike us grown ups, who choose instead to focus on what we believe is most essential to us. As a result, babies have a greater expanded consciousness than us grown-ups!

Having a baby is a life-changer. It gives you a whole other perspective on why you wake up every day.

When a child is born, the exact moment it draws its first breath should be noted, as that moment, and not the time of delivery, is the time of birth from the astrologer's point of view.

I think the first time baby recognises me and smiles is going to be one of the most amazing times of my life, to be honest.

If you just casually look at a baby, it doesn't look like there's very much going on there, but they know more and learn more than we would ever have thought. Every single minute is incredibly full of thought and novelty. It's easy as adults to take for granted everything it took to arrive at the state where we are.

The arrival of any child brings you a lot of happiness.
