(34,182 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. ❤️

(4,358 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.
