There is nothing more rewarding, more beautiful, more amazing, or more fulfilling than being a parent. These last two months have been absolutely fantastic in so many ways. First, the miracle of life is just that, a miracle. When I look at my precious daughter's sweet little fingers or any part of her cute little body, it leaves me speechless thinking about how she grew in my belly. The concept of making her fragile bones and intricate beating heart is nothing short of mind boggling. I love to watch her tummy rise and fall with every breathe as she sleeps. She melts my heart and wraps me around her long skinny pinky finger when she smiles at me. When she stares into my eyes while I feed her as though she is forever grateful to me for all that she has, I feel like the most important person on the planet. I'm letting my secret out of the bag when I say that the way she stops crying for no one else but me when I hold her in my arms makes me want to say "ha ha, she likes me better". The way her adorable little mouth frowns and bottom lip sticks out when she cries even makes me smile,well laugh really, because it's such a cute face. I now believe that there is no greater love than that in which you feel for your own child, your flesh and blood. The best way to explain it all is that being a mother truly is like having your heart walking outside of your body.
In short, I love being a mom.

I couldn't help but notice the time in which you posted your love for parenthood! Isn't it funny that even at 2:30 in the morning, you just love your child! I remember telling someone about my weekend one time after he finished telling me about his weekend of movies and naps in the middle of the day. I think one of the boys was sick and the other not sleeping through the night. Afterwards the person (who wasn't a parent) said, "yeah, and the next thing you'll tell me is you wouldn't trade it for anything." My response? "ABSOLUTELY NOT!!"
Carissa - I love that you love being a mom! I knew you would!!!
dito! I now understand how parents go a little crazy when something bad happens to there child. I can just get mad at the thought of a mean bully, and we haven't had to deal with that issue yet....anyways I knew you would love being a mom, and I always knew you would be a good one too. She's beautiful, give her a hug from me!
