A Good Cry?

I've been reading this book to Birdie two to three times a week for the past four months...but only at night.  Why nighttime?  I need to make sure I don't have to leave the house with mascara running down my cheeks.

I usually have to pause and catch my breath by the second page.  By the second to last, I'm basically choking out the words.  At first, I could blame it on 'new mommy' hormones but damn, that book still gets me every time.  Oh, I'll keep reading it though - I don't know if any of her other books more simply or articulately describe the immediate and overwhelming rush of love that comes the night a little one is born (or 8am, in our case).
