Happy Mother's Day!

I got the best card this morning from my hubby! It shows Mom and Dad's feet and a little pair of feet in between them in bed. It says "Lately I feel like something's been coming between us. (then inside) And I'm completely okay with that." This is funny for us because I'm 27 weeks pregnant and so not only do we have a toddler that climbs between us in the morning but my ever-expanding belly and all the pillows required to help me sleep!

One of my favorite things about being a Mom is snuggles!! My little girl was a snuggly baby until she could move around and then she just wanted to move all the time. I missed my snuggly baby! But recently, she's returned and loves to cuddle with me and I love it!

What's one of your favorite parts about being a Mom?

That sounds like a very cute card. I got some really good ones too.

I love snuggles, too. My little girl was NOT a cuddly baby but is a cuddly toddler which was a pleasant surprise. I love when she learns new things and gets excited about things. I love to watch her dance and enjoy music.

My boys were so excited about every little thing this morning. The cards, the breakfast and the little pictures they kept drawing for me. Seeing the pure joy and excitement on their faces is definitely something I cherish about being their mom.

My son was a super cuddly baby and still cuddles with me every morning when he wakes up, and he is 4 and 1/2! Cuddling is one of my favorite things about being a mom too. Also watching them grow and learn and use the good things you have taught them!

I love the kisses my son gives me. He loves to kiss and he will just come up to me and give me a big kiss on the cheek. He is so cute!!

Snuggles for sure. I also love the trust my little one places in me. She trusts me to make things better, she trusts me to push her in the swing - but not too high, just high enough, she trusts me to be there every morning (actually she prefers daddy to wake up with her). It is a huge responsibility but I love being that person for her.

I wish that my baby was a snuggly baby! I got jealous watching other moms with their snuggly ones...but on the rare occasions that she does snuggle with me...I truly treasure those. The other night she was drinking her bottle and I was sitting next to her crib waiting for her to finish so I could take it away and she reached her hand through the bars and held my hand...it made my life. :) I love all of the little joys every day of being a mom! :)

I love so many things about being a mom!! Its too hard to pick a favourite... I just know this is what I was meant to be! One thing I really love is seeing the world through a child's eyes... Cecelia gets so excited about the little things, that in my hurried state of adulthood, I often forget or overlook. I love that she keeps me grounded.

I love everything already mentioned. I also love that my daughter is saying "I love you" especially if she says it first! I completely melt!

Listening to my daughter pray. Lately she wants to say prayers 2-3times throughout each meal. The other day she started adding to her short prayers by saying bless daddy, bless mommy, bless kennedy... and named everyone she could think of! Made me realize I should be praying for more people!
