    Mother's love

    How is it that we just love our babies/children so much!!

    I just want to pick her up and squeeze her all the time (good squeeze by the way lol).

    I honestly feel its such a privilege to have a little bubba of my own and my heart just swells for her!
    When she smiles at me and try's to talk to me it makes everything better.

    Sigh not sure if this is more of a woohoo....

    BUT I feel it belongs to parenting

    What's your favorite part of being a parent?

    It's remarkable, isn't it?

    I like that they love me unconditionally, and even when I make mistakes.

    I am still in awe of how when you have another, you aren't sharing smaller pieces of yourself, it is like you just get more...like they were always there and you just didn't realise it yet.

    This is so, so reassuring for me to hear

    I love how I'm Mummy, I can fix all problems, solve all puzzles and make everything okay, with a hug, or a kiss, or a few soft words. I love watching DD achieve or learn something new, and seeing her overwhelming pride and confidence in herself grow and grow. Has to be the most satisfying feeling there is.

    Absolutely this. Its hard to imagine that you can have any more of that total, all encompassing love left in you but you just do.

    I'm finding as my kids get older its different things. I love watching my eldest just glowing in the pride she has in herself when doing something well at school. I love watching my second coming out of her shell and finally finding her feet. I love watching my youngest's face just light up into the biggest gummiest grin when she sees me coming towards her.

    And I LOVE watching my husband sitting on the couch with our three girls snuggled into him - safe, snug and loved

    this is so true. I never knew I had so much capacity to love. I also think it's amazing how they can challenge you and push limits but it has no affect on my love for them

    I expected it to be all-consuming but I didn't expect what all-consuming feels like. Everytime I look at my DS I just almost burst. He's 19months old and the feeling of bursting with love is as strong as ever. I was talking to some older ladies (in their late 60's/70's) the other week and they told me that the all-consuming-bursting-with-love feeling never goes away. I was so thankful to hear that.

    I love, love, love being a Mum. I love watching DD learn new things and experience things for the first time. I love watching her play. I love playing with her. I love the cuddles and kisses. I love listening to her talk. I love that she's so polite ("thank you Mummy"). I love the way she runs to me when I pick her up from childcare. I love the way she tries to do things I'd never even think of (anyone tried using two forks in the same hand at the same time??). I could go on and on. I love being Mummy

    parenting has fulfilled me and challenged me like nothing else I have ever done!
    I love the trust my children show me, the love in their faces,and the endless cuddles
