Gaby ~ First of, congratulations of your baby daughter coming home! How exciting for your family! I think what you are feeling is completely normal. I know I felt a bit like you do. I loved my Bug and cared for her with all I had but it took awhile until she felt like she belonged in my life. I think it was partly trying to respect her first mother's time to change her mind (she had 10 days) and partly guarding my heart against that possibility.

I tell you... I finally knew she was MY kid, that we were bonded at her 2 month needle...she was wailing at the top of her lungs and I was just sobbing because she was hurting. I knew then and it has only gotten better.

OTOH, DH bonded to Bug from the first moment he laid eyes on her...completely... and he was the one scared of becoming a parent. Iteresting how differentlye all react.

Wait, love her, care for her and before you know it, you'll be surprised by how you feel. Blessings of your family!!!
