There are few experiences that can compare to seeing your child for the first time, as every parent will attest. It’s especially true if it’s your firstborn child. Not long ago, a Brazilian couple had this wonderful moment, which was made much sweeter by their daughter’s reaction.

Antonella greeted her parents with the cutest smile imaginable only seconds after she was born. And there might be a very good reason for it. Her father, Flávio Dantas, is said to have spoken to her while she was still in her mother’s ᴡᴏᴍʙ.

The father characterized Antonella’s birth as “wonderful” in a moving Instagram post. He wrote, “I can’t express the sensation I felt at that time.” “Every day in the ᴡᴏᴍʙ, I chatted to my daughter and told her that I loved her, that Dad was there, and that I was going to be the finest father in the world!” How did she reward me when she was born? The father said, “With the loveliest smile ever.”

Flávio characterized his sentiments for his firstborn daughter as “a love that doesn’t fit within the chest!” The father was so ecstatic with the birth of his child that he shared many photographs on social media with numerous loving remarks. Under one of the photos, the guy wrote, “God gave me my largest cause to raise my head, let go of despair, and go after the world to be able to offer you.”

As a result, her reaction to him when she was born was a wonderful surprise.

Tarsila, Antonella’s mother, also posted photographs of her daughter alongside similarly beautiful remarks. The mother described her daughter as “a gift provided by my Lord” in one of the photos she posted. “If riches were measured in words, I would sum it up in one: you,” said the caption on another photo of the mother holding her daughter. God’s hands carved my precious jewel.”

Antonella is being raised by her parents in Rio de Janeiro, where the pair now resides. Tarsila used to work as an attendant and cook at a kiosk, whereas Flávio is a ɴᴀᴠʏ sᴏʟᴅɪᴇʀ.
