Ever sit back in amazement that you're a mom?

I'm sitting here watching Hadley in her jumperoo looking at our Christmas tree and had I sit in awe that I'm a mom! It normally hits me at the weirdest most simple times, finding a pacifier in my car door handle, a teether in the washer or just waking up to check on her with the monitor... simple things that just take on all new meaning.

All I have EVER wanted in life is to be a mom, nothing else mattered growing up, then we suffered from IF for years, and ended up with a surprise adoption so I sometimes wonder if my being so amazed to finally be here has to do with that or not, but wow... just so thankful!

I know this post has no point, but I just wanted to write it down since my dh just looks at me funny when I go on and on about it all. :o)

    Yes, especially when my first was around your child's age.  I was so proud, too.  I wanted everyone to know. lol

    I still find it pretty amazing.  To think that I've kept another human being alive, healthy and mostly happy for two years.  Holy cow.

    Yep.  I have moments at bedtime or when Miles is particularly cuddly that I look at him and think, "Wow.  This is my son.  I am his mom-mom." And just stare at him wondering how I have been blessed to have this little miracle in my life.  I, too, always wanted to be a mom, but put it off until we were financially ready.  At the end of a long day, I have to remind myself how lucky I am.  I have everything I ever wanted - a wonderful, loving husband, a sweet, adorable child, and a job I adore.

    I can definitely relate.  I've always known I wanted to be a mom and sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure it's not a dream.  It really happened!  I love my daughter so much and I'm incredibly grateful and humbled to be her mom.

    I'm still surprised they let us leave the hospital with him! DS hasn't being feeling well the last few days, so I have put him in bed with me(please don't flame it is the only way I could get more than 45 mns of sleep at a time). When he woke up this morning and was so excited to see me, my heart melted.

    Too Funny! I remember on DS 1st bday that my friends congratulated us that we all survived the first year.

    I feel this way mostly when he is snuggly or I catch a glimpse of him in the right way and realize that he looks so much like I did at that age.
