As a mother there are many moments that are unnoticed. From something as little as wiping your daughters face to holding her until she falls asleep. We do them because we love our children. We do them because we want the very best for them, always. Many of these moments you will never receive a thank you for and never would expect that either. You wait. You wait for the moment where you feel your child is showing you, the best way they can, how much they love you and appreciate that you are their mother.
My moments came two days in a row.
Two days ago I was rocking Madison to sleep after a very long day. She was a little crankier than usual and I was exhausted, I think just due to the pregnancy. We spent the day finding activities to do, reading books and playing fun games (like chase the baby around the house). At the end of the day I gently wrapped her up and started rocking her. She looked up at me, as she regularly does, spit her pacifier out, which she never does, and puckers her lips for a kiss. Just even typing this, I am flooded with overwhelming love for this little lady. I instantly started crying and she gently touched my face. In that moment, life was perfect. Nothing else mattered. My daughter was saying, "I love you Mommy." What else could I ever ask for!!
Then day two....
My sweet girl and I have a saying, "Be gentle to Mommy." She will gently stroke my cheeks which then typically leads to some hitting but we just keep saying to be gentle. Again. Such a sweet gesture. Today instead of becoming the crazy hands, she gently put my cheeks in her hands, tilted my head done and kissed my nose. The flood of tears came and my love for this beautiful baby grew. I didn't think it was possible but my heart just got a few inches larger.
I feel incredibly blessed to have such a beautiful, sweet, loving and happy girl. Madison you are Mommy and Daddy's everything. We love you.
