Coffee Quote by Michelle Buteau
“It can feel very isolating when you first have a kid, especially a new baby, but I'm like, 'Come over. We've got you. Someone will hold your baby so you can have a coffee or a glass of wine. I'm not going to judge your journey.'”

![“Everyone talks about how hard it is to have a kid, and that scares you into waiting. It obviously is tough [to be a parent], but when you feel that love, and it's instant, and it's so cool, so fun. When your baby smiles at you or when you just hold your baby, it's a pretty awesome feeling.” quote by Clayton Kershaw](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e51/clayton-kershaw-4174_baby_everyone-talks-about-how-hard-it-is-to-h_1892888.jpg)
