Each year that passes life just gets sweeter! I am still amazed at how my love for my daughter just deepens as the years go on. I know she is only 2 1/2 but I just didn't realize that everyday you fall deeper in love with your child. I hope I don't burst wide open because of it

I know I am not alone with these feelings. Please share yours. Let prospective first time mommies know what a treasure is in store for them.

It is so true! I often reflect on this and can just hardly believe how the feelings of love continue to grow as I see more of this wonderful little person develop and emerge. It's also hard to understand how she can keep getting cuter and cuter when I don't think it's possible for her to be any more adorable! There is no love that's comparable to mommy-love!

Denise, DD is almost 2 and a half, and I have to say that at every age I have wanted to "freeze" her, but there is something about how much I love her these days that sometimes it hurts my heart. Maybe it's because she's actually telling me, "I love you" without simply repeating it or deciding to roll down hills on her own...she's just this emerging wonder. On Halloween, she was just so cute and hilarious that Dh and I literally were in tears! I have truly treasured every day with her, but this is a really wonderful time....

I love being a mom the more time I have with her too...I am starting to get a "confidence" that I think eluded me when she was a little baby boo!

I was rocking DD to sleep night before last while DH was making dinner. Her sweet little face was next to mine and I could feel her breath on my cheek. I just turned my head to look at her and started to cry.
When you dream about the baby that will be, you think you know how you'll feel when you finally hold them. You think you know what love is and how deep it can go.
In reality you're clueless. The knowledge that you WILL love someone so completely is so very different from the reality of doing it. And nothing can prepare you for the depth of that emotion. Becoming a mom makes you Superwoman and the most humble of humble all at once.
You are completely unprepared for the perfect little person that is about to enter your life and make it better than you ever imagined it could be. And then when they do come along you are so afraid, in awe and sleep deprived that sometimes the "wow" factor gets lost for a little while.
Then one night you're rocking them to sleep and looking at that sweet, perfect, trusting little face and it crashes in on you all over again and all you can do is wipe the tears away and gently kiss that chubby little cheek as your baby smile in their sleep just knowing you're there.
There aren't enough words in this language or any other to describe how much I adore Eve. It's not possible. She is the child God made to be mine. She's the child I was waiting for before I even knew I was waiting. Every moment with her is a blessing.
