Being a momma is amazing when....

I know we all use TB as a place to commiserate and whine when things get tough (past EDDs, cluster feeding, sleepless nights, etc), but I wanted to make a post to remind us about how amazing our journeys are! What has melted your heart recently?

For me, it's all of the sweet snuggles with Baby Girl when she's finished nursing. And, as annoying as it can be, I secretly love the fact that I'm the only one who calms her down when she's upset!

And, AW: I just got my very first real awake SMILE!!!! Yes, it made me cry....

So, what about your baby (inside or out!) is making you smile right now??

I love after nursing cuddles, too. He's so sweet and doesn't even know it.

Inside baby here! I love that my boy is still inside of me. I'm the only one that knows his movements, when I'm sad, he comforts me. I can laugh at him when is moving and grooving and no one knows why.

I love how much he loves just sleeping on my chest, he is so cuddly! I have such a sweet baby boy, I just love watching him and staring at his beautiful face. I love how my daughter likes to watch her baby brother making faces and how she giggles at all of his cute baby noises.

I love being needed, I'm needed by hubby but it's different with baby. LOVE our cuddle times, our smiles and the way he really tries to look at me. The way he recognizes my voice and wakes to only me an hubby!

I love when my little guy squishes up his face and looks just like a little old man. And he's so gentle with me now when he nurses. He can be really upset and hungry, but when he goes to latch he's so gentle about it. He was laying on my chest and we both fell asleep this afternoon. I love those moments.

My favorite is the morning cuddles when Little Man wants to snuggle instead of walking up. That, and watching him figure out what his arms and legs can do. His little brain is working very hard.

I'm also a big fan of the after feeding cuddles. I even love the during feeding, looking for nipple, turtle neck stretch out and swimming arms. It totally obstructs the feeding process but he just looks like a precious little sea turtle.

I love the way he reacts to me like no one else. He will refuse to eat, or refuse to stop crying and as soon as I have him he will suck down a bottle or stop crying. He makes me feel so loved and needed.

I was trying to describe this action to my cousin, you described it perfectly!

I love her facial expressions. There's so many. But she frequently makes a little "O" with her mouth like she's super surprised or offended by what you said. I laugh so hard all the time.

I love when she's sleeping and she starts to smile and giggle!

I love the way she scrunches up when I pick her up.

I love her complete innocence.

I love when she turns her head when she hears my voice. And I love when she's got her head on my shoulder for a burp and she looks over at me with these eyes....gets me.

Currently still pregnant. I love to feel his movements!

I have outside kids too, obviously. .. And I love it when they are new and have grown man farts! I think they are so hilarious! I Also love their little squeaks they make, and when they sneeze!

I always think he looks like a turtle when he does that move too! So adorable!

I love the relaxed milk zombie face after a good feed!

I love seeing leg movements that I felt inside.

I love the content soft baby noises while she is eating or looking at something interesting.

I love that sometimes all he wants is his mama to hold him

Still pregnant, but I find it adorable when my girl hiccups... She has been hiccuping a lot! At my last Ultrasound she was hiccuping the entire time. So knowing what it looks like when I feel it is etched in my brain.

I love the smiles and cuddles! I also love looking at him and seeing his many faces and the fact that he has changed and "grown" so much in such a short time. I love just stopping the million things that need to get done and looking at him really taking him in. It goes by so fast and I wish I did that more with my first!!

I love the little noises she makes when she nurses. And the post-nursing chest cuddles are the best! I absolutely love watching DH take care of her and cuddle her and talk to her. That really makes me melt.

MusicFanatic

When I walk into her room to get her from a nap, and she gives me the BIGGEST smile ever :x And I love when she stares at me when she's drinking.

I love our mornings together when my house is quiet and it is just he and I. He loves sleeping on my chest almost vas much as I love him sleeping on my chest.

Equally love watching his daddy just melt over him. He is so in love and so proud.

Curbs12

I love the way she lays her head on my shoulder when I burp her. And the faces she makes when she sleeps that make her look just like her daddy.

Watching my husband melt when he sees/holds her- or when he says I'm a good mama and I made a beautiful baby-or how he wants to learn how to do everything and already has found how she likes certain things more than others that help her sleep or be comfortable-I cry a lot of tears of joy because I'm so overwhelmed with my love for her, and I love that I know he loves her just as much.
