Nothing prepares you for it. The overwhelming love for my newborn hit me like a tidal wave—beautiful, intense, and completely life-changing. One moment, you’re meeting this tiny person for the first time, and the next, you’d do absolutely anything for them. It’s exhilarating, exhausting, and, let’s be honest, a little terrifying.
The Kind of Love That Feels Like Too Much
If you’re feeling like the overwhelming love for your newborn is making you a little crazy, you’re not alone. One minute, you’re staring at them with pure adoration, and the next, you’re panicking about whether they’re too hot, too cold, eating enough, sleeping enough, or breathing the right way. It’s the deepest, most instinctive love imaginable—one that rewires your entire brain overnight.
For me, this love was so powerful that it changed my entire life path. I left my senior leadership role in teaching to spend more time with my babies, knowing I would never get these early years back. I wanted to soak up every cuddle, every milestone, every tiny, magical moment. But I also knew that I wanted to share something meaningful with other parents—helping them connect, bond, and make the most of this wild, beautiful ride.
Finding Connection in the Chaos
One of the best things I ever did as a new parent was find a community. That’s exactly why I now run Adventure Babies sensory storytelling baby classes—because I know firsthand how much we need spaces where we can embrace this overwhelming love for our newborns while also remembering that we matter too.
At Adventure Babies, you and your baby will experience immersive storytelling, sensory play, and activities designed to support development while making precious memories together. It’s a place to slow down, soak it all in, and meet other parents who are just as sleep-deprived, emotional, and utterly in love as you are.
Come and Share the Magic
If your heart feels like it might explode from love (and a little sleep deprivation), you’re in the right place. Join us for a class and experience the magic of storytelling, sensory exploration, and connection. Because this love—the overwhelming, heart-stretching, slightly unhinged love for your newborn—is the most incredible thing you’ll ever feel.
