i love being a mother...

i love the first feel of life in my womb...

i love all the feel of flutter, wiggle, kicks and hiccups...

i love when i was able to give all my strength to push you out and meet you for the first time...

i love to see the love in your eyes for me...

i love the feel of trust in your embrace...

i love to watch you sleep and dream away...

i love to hear you call me mommy and mama in anyway...

i love that you believe and trust everything i say...

i love saying "i love you all the time." to you...

i love hearing you say "i love you all the time too" or "you, you"...

i love kissing and hugging you before you sleep...

i love kissing and hugging you when you are asleep...

i love kissing and hugging you before i let you go to school or play...

i love spending time with you just reading or watching tv or just quietly seating together...

i love hearing your giggle when i tickle you...

i love teaching you all the things you now know...

i love kissing your "pain" away...

i love singing to you...

i love dancing silly with you...

i love watching you make silly things...

i love seeing you make smart discoveries...

but most of all...

i love being a mother because of you.
