I stole this from Zann's private blog. It holds true for anxious second time moms as well....


To A First Time Mother
by Helen Rittell

Relax, my dear, your little elf
Is just an amateur herself.
So if your hands, so newly filled
Seem somewhat less than skilled,
Relax, I say. This little pinkling
Doesn't have the slightest inkling
That you are new to baby lore.
She's never had a mom before.
