(34,381 posts)In Nurturing new life, the photographer has captured the oxytocin in the eyes of the mama. That's amazing camera work. I love it. ❤️

(4,395 posts)I didn't even know what oxytocin was. I had to google it. My wife says I should have just asked her. 😉
Congratulations on your posting milestone.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
