If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby it. – Jerome K. Jerome

You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. – Pau (Pablo) Casals

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
For babies grow up, weve learned to our sorrow
So quiet down, cobwebs
Dust, go to sleep
Im rocking my baby, and babies dont keep. – Anon.
