The first time a mother holds her newborn baby will always go down as one of the best moments in her life.

It’s no surprise why a new mom holding her newborn son for the first time is going viral — the breathtaking photos captures the exact moment this mother fell completely in love.

When Jessica’s baby son was born ten weeks early, the NICU was notified for his evaluation. The new mother could only catch a brief glimpse of her kid at this trying time.

Hugo weighed 2 pounds, 1 ounce at birth, according to his parents. He was immediately taken to the hospital’s NICU and then, 12 hours later, was transferred to a local children’s hospital.

“I remember the moment very clearly,” Jessica said. “I’ll never forget it, regardless of the video.”

“It was just a feeling of peace and calm that came over me right away,” she continued.

“It wasn’t the ideal meeting that every mom hopes for but it was probably even more profound because we had to wait and because of everything we went through.”

“I never expected to witness the precise second she fell head over heels in love with him. Mother and Son’s relationship became more firm right away.”

Jessica is seen breaking down into tears – clearly overwhelmed at the beauty and love of meeting her son.

There may not be words to express how Jessica felt, she let Hugo touch her breasts — and delicately using a finger to stroke his tiny back — shows the undeniable power of a mother’s love.
