I love be able to teach my girls new things and then witnessing how they process and explore what they’re learning.
I love the cuddles, I love you’s and the excitement we are all able to share with number 3 on the way…don’t know who is more excited-babes 1&2 or mum & dad!
The absolute joy that they give you in a smile that is just meant for mummy and mummy alone. My third child is due in a few months and I can’t wait for Mummy smiles
I love what Dear Boy is now calling “cuggles”: laying his little head against your leg, your shoulder, your belly and patting you with his chubbsy little hand.
The belly laugh chuckles I hear when they play together. And the joy on their face when they learn something new.
When I come home and my littlest runs up to me and says ” I missed you mummy, I really wuuuuv you”. It’s hard to beat!
The beautiful unconditional love that is shared between mother and child ♥
I love how motherhood has changed me into a better person. I’m more patient, understanding, forgiving and tolerant and this has made me truly content and happy within myself .
Adored being a mama… seven times!
I learned something new every day.
With daughters expecting their own ‘mama moments’,
I’ll help them, the Britax way!
I love being a single mum it has made me a stronger person and I can’t wait to shape my daughters life.
I love watching them grow and change right before my very eyes every single day, and when things get tough I love that I got through the challenge…alive and sane lol! xx,
The unknown …. No-one could possible tell you how amazing, scary, tiring it is to be a mother, and that you experience all of these emotions at once; but you will love EVERY moment of the experience. Definitely the best ‘job’ EVER!!!!
I never wanted children but my husband really did, I figured we could do this together. I had a terrible pregnancy and an emergency Caesarian at 32 weeks. My beautiful baby girl has changed my life. I thought I had to give up my career (which I love), my body, my time with just my husband, but I honestly can’t believe how much she has brought me. More joy than my career, a new perspective of what my body can achieve & create, and a family with my husband which makes our time together more incredible. My hearts explodes daily with love for her, motherhood is amazing, and I am thankful everyday to have a healthy, beautiful baby girl.
I adore watching my little girl grow and see how much she changes every single day. She has started saying mama and it just makes my heart melt.
The huge smiles I get when I go in to get my babies up in the morning!
I love seeing how she is becoming this little person of her own and it truly astonishes me how clever she is 🙂
I’m looking forward to the quiet moments sitting in the nursery with little miss / mr in my arms and just staring down at them lovingly as they lay peacefully in my arms <3 Those special bonding moments <3
I love most is the unconditional love you receive back, mostly in the form of heart melting smiles, toasty warm hugs and wet smooshy kisses <3
I love my darling son’s cuddles, kisses and “A-rah-bu” first thing in the morning, and last thing at night. I love hearing my darling son call me “Momma” and look at me with complete trust and total devotion. I love the smile that lights up his face when he sees me. He just makes me melt!
Lying in bed having an afternoon rest, feel a movement near my feet, glance down to see the big grin on my cheeky 2yos face as he crawls towards me for a cuddle. There are so many BIG moments of joy in parenting (when they’re born, first smiles, first words etc etc) but it’s the little, unexpected moments that I cherish most.
I love not only watching this amazing lil human who I made grow up into a big person, I also love learning about my own limits and abilities. I love every moment even the bad ones.
I love nothing more than seeing the big smile that lights up my little one’s face when he sees me first thing in the morning and after each nap
I love the adoring looks, heart melting smiles, infectious giggles, even the sometime sleepless night, because they all mean I’m finally a mummy and I wouldn’t change a thing.
I love the morning snuggles, the teachable moments, the funny conversations in the car, the random but hilarious things the kids come up with. I love the movements inside you, the moment you first lay your eyes on your child and welcome this little person that you know but you don’t into the world and into your family. And no matter how many children you do or don’t have, each one is individual and precious.
I love noticing the natural beauty and wonder in the world through the eyes of my children. It really reminds you about the joy of the simple things in life.
I love the first time they move inside you, and the realisation that no, I’m not just getting fat, I’m growing a new life inside me! And the way that this adventure has brought my husband and I closer than ever before, and made me love him more than I thought possible…What a special gift!
Gummy smiles.
Listening to him sleep.
Chubby Legs.
His wonder at the world.
Raspberries.
The bond in breastfeeding.
Sleep smiling.
Watching my husband be a father.
Bum dimples.
The innocence in his eyes.
Snort chuckles.
The overwhelming love I have to give to him.
And the insurmountable thanks I give for him.
I love everything about being a mum, but after waiting 7 years for our miracle bub number 2, I am especially looking forward to learning everything over again!
As I’ve not yet felt bub move inside me, I’m still super-excited about the wonder. About the possibilities of the rest of the pregnancy, and how much I’ll love this little person. About how this little person will completely change not just me for the better, but every relationship I have with ANYONE for the better. About my mother and her contribution as a grandparent and the way I’ve all of a sudden been hit with remorse for ANYTHING I ever did to disrespect her.
Mostly about seeing my husband fall in love with someone even more than he loves me, but with all our love for that little person adding to our love for each other. It’s that strange thing where the sum of two people is worth more than you could imagine as two individuals.
Hi there! I found this give away from fatmumslim.
I have a 15 month old daughter named kyra and I’m in my third trimester for baby number two. It’s a boy and his name is Eli.
What I love being most about being a mom….is BEING NEEDED! I just love being able to say this minnie human NEEDS me! And another one I really love the sound of a babies breathing while sleeping! So precious♥
Thanks!
I love the smiles, the I loe yous and my almost four year old telling me I’m sweet.
It’s the little things that I love. The scribbly pictures they draw, the display ballet dances in the lounge room, the jokes about poop, muddy hands, bubble bath mohawks and so much more. I love the trust that they have in me, the look of love in their eyes. I love their attitude, it reminds me of my own. I love their sense of adventure, just like their daddy. I love everything about my little munchkins.
Children bring life, joy and new beginnings. They bring lightness, hope and confidence to the world. After losing my little one last year, I truly treasure all that they are.
To bad I live in Holland 🙁
The look of unconditional love when they see you or do things with them.
I love those days when everything runs smoothly and you can take in all those special moments with your beautiful babe! 🙂 <3
Those days when i look upon my three kids, all playing nicely and happily, when the oldest {4yrs} cares for her two brothers when they are sick or injured, mothering them, when my kids want a cuddle and to just be held, there are so many things I love about being a mum, its hard to sum it all up. I guess, looking at these little human beings and knowing that I created them and that they are growing into the best little people I could ever want, that would have to be one of the best things
I adore when I come home from being at appointments and my little men come running down the hall arms spread yelling “mummy”. Makes up for any bad stuff that has happened during the day
I’m loving my husband transition from Mr Tough Guy to Mr Mushy and going ga ga over little baby clothes and toys. His eyes sparkle when he talks about becoming a dad. I can’t wait for the very first moment he gets to hold our little jellybean!
I am 4 mths pregnant and so far love everything. Hubby and I had our scan the other week and we both were in tears with excitement that our little baby was growing in my belly. It’s such exciting times 🙂
I’m loving the reminders that our life is about to change: from my husband insisting on doing everything for me to those baby sock folding moments. We cannot wait for this next adventure to begin.
I am a mumma to be and am looking forward to 12 months off work with my little man and watching him discover the world around him one baby step at a time
I’m looking forward to all the little things and sitting back and taking all the precious moments in. Life changing for the better 🙂
I love waking up in the mourning with all my kids in my bed cuddling each other and I love watching them grow up and go to school.
I’m hoping I’m about to become a mama, this week I’ve started my first cycle of IVF, I just can’t wait to get a little bundle of joy to hold in my arms!
I love the cuddles!
As a mama to be I’m looking forward to finger painting! And all the fun messy things that come with a lovable little new one
Watching them grow and learn each day. Still blows my mind how this little blob develops and reaches those amazing milestones so quickly.
I am looking forward to moments of great joy and pride, although, I know it will come with some moments of frustration and sacrifice. I will “carry” and guide them through their darkest days, and helped them celebrate the brightest ones. Whatever they do I will always be there for them no matter what.
I love that, despite the long and difficult nights, I am constantly surprised that my love for my children grows every day even though I always think I could never love them more.
I am a momma to be and can’t wait to meet my precious baby. I am looking forward to feeling that intense love you never thought was possible… Until you have a baby. I absolutely cannot wait!
We are currently expecting our 5th baby.. yes you read right ha.. (we have a sweet angel that watches from above) for me being a mama is so rewarding and there is nothing like seeing your child discover/learn things for the first time and to see them achieve it is such a blessing. Seeing them grow and remembering how they were just so tiny a few what it seems blinks ago. Thanks for the chance. OH Hubby says thanks for the chance too Ha..
I’m not sure if I’ll qualify, but I would love to win this prize for a dear friend of mine who has recently announced her pregnancy. The happy couple are of course really delighted and excited, but she is also pretty overwhelmed (it was an unexpected, though wonderful surprise!).
I know she’s feeling the pressure to have everything “just so” in time for bubs’ arrival, and I know this prize would help her enormously. I know she’s going to be a fabulous mama and would love to see her enjoying the experience rather than worrying about all the things she needs to do beforehand.
None of us close friends are mama’s yet either, so I don’t feel I have any practical advice, experience, or “words of wisdom” to offer, but I’d love to be of help where I can. Am very much looking forward to being “pseudo aunty” to this little bundle of joy later in the year! x
I love getting home and my toddler running up and motioning for me to cuddle him (he has a speech delay and doesn’t talk yet). It’s so cute how he does it and when he’s in my arms he snuggles into my neck and wraps his arms around me so tight and gets such a lovely contented look on his face… ahhh. 🙂
I love to watch my children change and grow. I love how they delight in the little things that we forget to delight in!
One of my favourite things is to watch my foster babies grow and learn and thrive when they are given the opportunity to be in a safe, loving environment! And to see the magic & sparkle in their eyes when they know that they are loved!!!
What about aunties? Can aunties enter on their sisters behalf? I’m looking forward to corrupting my niece and doing all those delishly devilish things only an aunty can get away with doing! haha! But in all seriousness, being part of something so small, having an influence on their development, watching myself develop in response to her milestones, watching my family change in response to a new little one. Simply. Amazing. I can’t wait to show her my favourite childhood games, climb trees, paint nails, play princesses, or serious work women games, blow bubbles. Ahhh. Its the simple things 🙂 And this aunty will be the one taking little niece bushwalking, so really, I guess the pram would be for me anyways!
I’ve only been a mama for six weeks but the greatest bit so far is cuddling that new baby smell!!
The company
I love being able to do everything again, slippery dip and swings in the park, not looking like a dag as I finger paint and make sandcastles.
I am due with my first in September and am looking forward to a sweet and pure connection with a little being who is my own creation! (With some help from the hubby!)
Big smoochy, sloppy kisses at random moments through the day.
I am eagerly planning my second for an end of this year/ beginning of next year conception. I LOVE all things pregnancy, birth and the endless learning experiences child raising brings. I delight in every achievement and new learnings of my 3yo. Parenting is challenging, but the MOST rewarding thing I have every done.
I am 7 months pregnant with our first miracle baby after years of fertility issues. I am most looking forward to being able to gaze at that little face for hours knowing that we made the most perfect person in the world.
I am expecting my second child in November. There are so many things I love about being a Mum. However, now my daughter is 2, one of the best things is having the love returned. My Daughter, Abigail, will come over to me, cradle my face in her hands, tilt her head and give me her ‘loving face’. What I love is that I know I often have done this to her, so having that expression of deep love and affection returned is bliss.
I love hearing the completely random stuff that comes out of my 6 year old sons mouth.
The other day he told me what I was doing looked “complex”. I was doing the dishes!
I am looking forward to the unconditional love and awe. Although it will be scary having something so small and helpless depending on me, I can’t wait to share my life with it.
I am pregnant with my first blessing. I am most looking forward to creating new memories, new family traditions and sharing him or her with friends and family.
I look forward to teaching him or her to appreciate life, to laugh, give back to the earth and most importantly, to love. I just know this little one is something truly special. Our hearts are overjoyed.
I love watching her choose something. What to wear, what to play with, who to go to but most especially I love it when she chooses to come up to me with a kiss and a cuddle.
I Love the Admiration and Love in my Son’s Eyes When I am Being Silly and Making him Laugh. He Looks at me Like I am the Best thing Ever. Its an Amazing Feeling.
I’m a new mama-to-be and can’t wait to meet our little man. I’m most looking forward to hearing his first cry – proof that he is real!
I am a first time Mumma-to-be with 14 weeks to go. I am looking forward to that unbreakable magic bond. Can’t wait to hold him/her for the first time and hear that little lamb-like cry and look into their eyes ♡
Mumma of two and on the countdown to number 3. I’m so looking forward to watching all three of our babies together, loving & learning & growing together.
32 weeks pregnant with Number 1… I’m most terrified (and most looking forward to) wearing my heart on the outside of my body. A feeling that’s been described to me many times by other Mummy’s but still seems incomprehensible… for now! xx
The entertainment. My kids are funny, they are interesting, they take me places I would never have got to without them in my life. My kids give me so much.
I just became a mom as of may 1st. I love just looking at him, when he looks at me and when he smiles in his sleep
I’m a mum twice over and I love watching my kids interact. My girl is known as ‘mini mum’ at daycare. My little man almost jumps out of his skin when he’s getting some love from her. Watching her read him stories and tuck him into bed (they are 2yrs & 6mths). Just the little things
To create, to Love, to nurture and care for your children are just some of the things I love about being a Mama. I am a mother of 4 and have one on the way. For me, to give the gift of life is one of the most precious things in this world. Being part of someone else’s life to guide and assist them, teach them and show them all sorts of wonders in this world is a cherished gift. Which in turn. you also learn and grow with them. A beautiful bond of Unconditional love. I give my everything to be the best and do the best I can for my children. I simply love being a Mama.
I am a mummy to two beautiful boys and I love be able to watch and teach them grow into little men! I most enjoy the hugs at the end of a busy day and love they show you, the way the hold your finger and smile. Everything and anything in life just goes away for those few minutes, I love being a mummy and everything that comes with it and can not wait to do it all again!!!
Well i’m not a mama but I’m just about to become a father for the first time. My beautiful fiancé is 4 months pregnant and we couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to bring this little soul into this wonderful world and experience the joys of life as a parent. I can’t wait to laugh, teach, support and be the best papa possible for our little gift.
I’m six months pregnant with my first. I’ve noticed some people are full of dire warnings about having children and the freedoms you’re deprived of as a result, I however am looking forward to all the tiny joys that people forget to mention. Just the everyday things, getting to know the unique personality of your little one and their little quirks, enjoying their funny faces and noises.
I’m 18 weeks pregnant today with my first. I can’t wait to show my little one all the wonder and magic there is in the world – things like rainbows and sunshowers, reflections in ponds and puddles, the softness of a puppy’s fur, and all the love in the world.
watching my twins learn new things like rolling, crawling, walking, smiling, laughing and clapping they are 11 months old now and I am trying to teach them how to kiss, the furthest I have gotten is with my son to give a air kiss it is so so cute I absolutely love it. they are my 5th and 6th children and this time I am taking the time to enjoy every minute I can with them because before you know it they are all grown up.
I am a mum for the second time around in my life. I have two teenagers who are becoming more independent every day and also a toddler and a new baby on the way. Having teenagers has multiplied the joy of having little ones. After the emotional challenges of living with teenagers when a toddler throws a tantrum or misbehaves it is nothing but cute! What I love most is witnessing my children experience new stages in life- whether learning to talk or learning to be a young adult. Being a cheerleader on their journeys is very satisfying.
The best thing about being a mumma is being able to watch and encourage the growth of your child. Words can’t express the feeling I get everytime my 3 year old does or says something new
Watching them grow, taking in their first smile, laugh, and movement. they are all moments which happen once in a life time and are not able to be reproduced!
I love the sleepy cuddles,
The giggles and the squeals,
Her cheeky eyebrow raise,
And bird-watching zeal.
I love that I can calm her
And kiss away any drama,
But what I love the most
Is the way she calls me “Mama”.
‘Huggles’ with my girl!
The thing I love the most about being a new Mumma, is the pure fact that I cant believe I made this little person who lays before me. I also LOVE the getting to know you part. Regardless of the sleepless nights and the usual stress’ that a new babe can bring… These are the parts I loved with our first and what I look forward to again with our new bub arriving in approx 6 weeks! Thanks.
I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant and the one thing I’m looking forward to about being a mumma is that first look, the first touch, the first kiss and the first hug of my beautiful little boy! That’s what I’m most looking forward to is meeting him for the first time, that instant love at first site. Counting down the days till I meet you! Love always mummy <3
The thing I love the most is how much my baby teaches me, she’s taught me true love, strength, power, and most of all patience. I learn something new from my baby everyday. I look forward to what the next day will bring.
I am 7 months pregnant with our first bubs. It is all very daunting but I am looking forward to meeting our little one so I can have lots of cuddles and adore that new baby smell 🙂
I have 2 children one almost 3 and the other 1month the thing I love most is hearing and seeing my little boy making little sounds and smiling and my daughter trying to help in every way possible puts a smile on my face
She giggles, has fun when at play,
Gives cuddles each and every day,
Has humour to delight,
And a nature with bite,
Makes me think that i’ve raised her okay
Hi! I’m 20 weeks pregnant, and have preggo insomnia. So I’m most looking forward to a good sleep when I give birth! oh.. wait.. umm and mashing lots of peas. No, really, I’m most looking forward to having permission to be silly and goofy every day, and spend time playing, being light, and enjoying the sandpit. Kids love to play, I love to play! I can’t wait to sing like an idiot and dance around the living room and laugh at everything. And for cuddles. I love cuddles so now we can have baby-sandwiches and spread the love in our little family.
I love sleepy snuggles and watching my baby girl sleeping with not a care in the world. Innocent and unaware of any of the dramas of the world.
I just love seeing my kids grow. Each and every day they’re that little bit different. Also love seeing me in them.. That’s a very cool feeling! Having children is very special..! Fingers tightly crossed! 🙂
I love the feeling of my little babies under my wings each day, especially when I have both my newborn and toddler in bed for cuddles every morning… The BEST way to start each day. Oh… And having crazy dance time in the house each day!
Cuddles, I love the amazing cuddles my little man gives me. I love watching him grown & learn. Am also looking forward to watching his reactions as bub #2 grows before arriving Dec this year 🙂
I love how my son (five) randomly tells me he loves me and how my daughter (3) pronounces words. Im really looking forward to seeing how big my baby really is because im due July 9th and he feels like a monster!
I love that my two year old son has taught me how to be a kid and have fun again!
Love knowing he’s gained weight because of MY breast,
The fact he won’t settle with anyone else for his rest,
That look in his eye, knowing I’m his whole world,
Tiny fingers wrapped around mine all tight and curled,
Many moments this New Mama loves already,
Many more to look forward and I’ll be ready!
I love the smell of them and how soft they are and to know that there yours forever to love and no one can take that away from you ever.
Sent straight from heaven up above
I have an angel that I love
I hold and rock and kiss her good night
And wrap my arms around her tight!
The smiles you get everyday are so rewarding,
What I love the most is the thought that they are mine and I am theirs forever. They are the most amazing thing I have done in this life and I get reminded of that every time I look at them 🙂
I love soooo many things about being a Mumma I don’t think I could just specify any one thing! I love my childrens smell, I love their cheeky smiles, I love their giggles, I love their kisses, I love their hugs, I guess most of all…I love that they were made out of love!
I love that because of these 6 children, my life has so much meaning and purpose. I love that I have been given this wonderful gift, in the form of these beautiful children, to do my best to raise into well mannered, polite, successful in whichever path they may chose and happy adults. I love being on this journey of life with them. They are my everything.
I’m currently pregnant with baby number 3 and unless we win the lotto this will be our last child.
It is hard work being pregnant and having 2 other children to look after but there is no better feeling then bub kicking away in my tummy, seeing him get bigger in each ultrasound and having his 2 older brothers kiss my tummy and talk to him.
I can’t wait to meet our newest addition and give him endless cuddles.
I imagine like all siblings our 3 boys are going to argue as they grow up but I hope they are the best of friends growing up.
I love it when I walk in the door from work at 7pm and all 3 kids (11, 7 & 3) race to the door for cuddles and kisses while exclaiming “mum’s home” no matter how hard work was or how tired I am this always melts my heart <3
I love that when I’m having a bad day my gorgeous son is ready to cheer me up even when he is the one that sometimes causes the troubles. I can’t get enough of that cheesy grin and giggle and he knows exactly when to do it!!
There is so many things that I love it is hard to narrow it down. I love seeing my 2 kids 16 girl n 8 boy getting alone so well they love each to bit watching them play, helping each other out and loving one another. I am also really looking forward to having this baby come into this world knowing that the bub will have 2 great, loving siblings. Being a mom is so rewarding with all the up’s and down’s it is something that I would cherish forever.
The look of total admiration and love they throw my way. Something that money just cannot buy.
I love that I’m responsible for shaping, supporting and encouraging a future adult. She can be anything she wants to be, and I will be there, behind her, all the way. I love that she feels secure enough in herself to try new things, knowing I’ll be there, to be her soft place to fall. No matter what happens in her world, she looks to me and knows it will be ok. I love that I am that important in her world.
I love being a Mama as i can see my baby girl growing, developing and changing every day. I love her smiles and smothering her in kisses. After trying for her for so long it is great to know that she is mine and my husbands and nothing is going to change that. She has my heart forever and I wouldnt change that for the world.
The best thing about being a mama is my 8 week old’s smiles and constant chatter. He loves interacting with me and his eyes follow me wherever I go, even if someone else is holding him 🙂
I am a mother of four beautiful girls and I love everything about being a mum, it is the most amazing thing you could ever be apart of, I am very blessed 🙂
I love that one smile from my little girl can wipe away any bad mood/bad day. She keeps me grounded, she keeps me sane, she makes me appreciate life more. She’s my inspiration for wanting to make myself better.
I love watching my 15month old son happily play with his dad knowing we made him! Nothing melts ur heart quite like that. Every sleepless night since birth makes everything worth it when my son climbs on me for a cuddle, or when i finish work and he comes running up to the door! Those are just a few of our precious moments. Bliss <3
That
every public tantrum with it’s inevitable disapproving stares and ‘tut tuts’
from “more knowledgeable” people, every poo explosion which manages to leak
through a nappy, 4 layers of clothing, and the car seat all the way to the
ground below, every projectile vomit which gives you an unexpected refreshing
morning mud mask, and every night where you decide what fun it would be to stay
up for 13 hours straight carrying a screaming watermelon around the house only
for them to fall asleep in a position which makes it impossible for YOU to
sleep, means absolutely NOTHING when they give you that sweet, “innocent” baby
grin that melt your heart and tricks you into believing that from this moment
on everything will be perfect with the world J
I love that I get called mummy. That my girls entire world revolves around me and that I get to be their comfort, their laughter and their guidance! They look to me as their world and they have taught me so much about who I am and what life means.
I love that my daughter brings that light to my life, the one where it doesn’t matter how bad your day is, your child just makes it instantly better. I love her imagination and creation, she is inventive and a joy to watch as she grows and learns.
The most amazing thing about being a mama is looking into my little man’s eyes and seeing his love and adoration for me, he trusts me unconditionally to look out for him. My heart is ready to burst with every knowing look
I love the fact that soon my husband and I will have in our hands a little slice of me and a little slice in him in a new and beautiful little person. That together we get to watch he/she grow and develop a personality and we get to watch and shape an amazing little baby become an amazing person. It’s an amazing blessing!
The unknowing everyday and the learning from my children on how being young and silly makes us happy
I love that you teach them everything you know and that one day they may teach you a few things as well and knowing that you have never loved someone so much until you first looked into those gorgeous little eyes for the first time. There is good and bad about being a mum but there is so many good times then bad.
I love this new change after being a mom,a mom inside me comes out & babies every day new activity his smile his sweet cuddle his tiny hand & feet,his smiling eyes.i love every day I wish to have too many kids so i Can enjoy more & more
I am a mama to two beautiful girls but pregnant with my 3rd baby. What I love most of all is the sweet smell of a newborn! There is nothing like it!
I love seeing little bit of me in my daughter, i see it in her good nature, her smiles, when she makes silly faces! She changed my life for good 🙂 thanks for the chance
Being told everyday that my daughters love me…and the little quirky sayings that they come out with…it’s just priceless. 🙂
I love the smiles that I get. And the utter adoration that lights up his face when he sees me!
I love seeing my children interact with eachother. We have built this whole little family and to see our little girls be so loving towards eachother and playing together gives me a sense of joy that is impossible to measure.
For me, being a mum has changed my life. Having two kids now makes me appreciate what my own mum did for me growing up, and I now understand decisions that she made better. My two kids are the reason I wake up in the morning!
A smile and a giggle always melts my heart – and watching the kicking and bouncing of number 2 in my belly is the most amazing thing!
I Love how they have taught me so much and also given me a new perspective. There’s just so much to love about being a mama. I’m just so blessed to be able to share my life with my 3 children soon to be 4 making some crazy, awesome memories with them.
When my little girl asks for “Cuggles” makes my heart instantly melt.
I am looking forward to meeting our little buddy and can’t wait to learn all the lessons being a mama will bring. Having a piece of my husband and i mixed into a little being that we get to guide through life and bring up into a wonderful young person will be an amazing and no doubt rewarding experience. I am looking forward as to how selfless my husband and i will become of the next 18+ years for our children.
I love being able to nurture, educate, give love and help a little one into this big world, where possibility and new experiences are out there to be enjoyed. The feeling of giving love that grows more each day is so rewarding and it makes me feel good as a human and Mama as well as the little one knowing that there is someone to support them and feel loved.
Since I’ve had my second baby, the best thing is watching them play together, my oldest just loves her little sister so much it makes me warm and fuzzy watching them cuddle and wrestle!
I love looking at my sons excited smile when he sees me enter the room or when i get him out of his cot! I also love his giggles they make me go all gooey and laugh with him!
I love watching my 3 year old son grow into a little man. Everything is new to him and I love being able to see things from their eyes. The cuddles are pretty good too 🙂
“I LOVE being a mum because it is the proudest thing I have done — raising another little human being and making a difference in this world.” — Lauren McFadyen
Everything! I love his little face & noises, I love feeding him and cuddles I dont even mind the lack of sleep, all worth every minute!
the smiles, the hugs and unexpected kisses,
the daring feats and often near misses!
the new words and mispronunciations
The copying daddy with naughty exclaimations!
watching him brush himself off after a fall
theres so much more, I LOVE it all!
Well I have waited more than 2 years for our latest so I’m going to say everything from the first cuddle to the sleep deprived nights 🙂
I am a mum and pregnant again, I love the fact my kids look at me with love and support and know I will be there for anything and everything they will ever need. To be able to offer the ability to teach strength and courage to my child is truly amazing.
When my son comes up to me and says ” I love you so much mummy” and then kisses me on each cheek and then the lips followed by a huge “huggle”
When I see how excited he gets when he sees new things (like his hands, the trees, cats)
My 5 kids smiling faces. Melts my heart ❤
I love that I can see my 1 year old son learning new things everyday. The fact that I have helped him to learn/do these new things makes me feel I’m doing a good job as a mummy
I love everything about being to mama . It is hard work but the rewards are the greatest. Watching them grow and learn and laugh.
The hugs, the kisses, the giggles, the “i love you mummy”‘s, the handmade craft, the love that makes your heart burst are all wonderful. But I also love the hard times and times when things don’t go to plan which are a good reminder that I am human and I do make mistakes. Parenting isn’t easy, but it is still the best thing I will ever do.
How a simple cuddle from your kids can make any situation instantly seem not so bad xx
What I love about being a mother , that its the best job in the world and I wouldn’t have it any way else , I’m a mother of 3 kids and one on the way , some people might think I’m crazy having kids all after each other ( my kids ages are 4 years 2 years and 1 year ) I have the 4th coming in December , which I’m very nervous about , I don’t know why.
I wanted to keep this pregnancy a secret from family and friends , just at least till I pass the 1st trimester , I just couldn’t keep it a secret , children are a blessing and wouldn’t want my life any other way , from there first breath to there first smile to there first step .
Being a mother and being pregnant is the best thing and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else
Being a Mum is absolute bliss,
Each little cuddle and sneaky kiss,
Each new tooth and spoken word
It’s no wonder I would love a third!
That wonderful feeling is what i Iove best,
Every smile makes my heart beat out of my chest,
The apple of their fathers eye,
If only the time didn’t fly by!
I love being a mummy because i have a child who looks up to me & not only does she learn from me but i learn from her, also i love the endless kisses & hugs from my daughter 🙂
I love that when my son is being held by somebody else he always looks around to make sure that I’m still there. I cherish these moments as I know a day will come when he looks around to make sure I’m not watching him do something naughty :o)
I adore seeing my children aged 3.5 and 2 cuddle and play together. My heart sings with joy every-single-time. I feel so lucky that I was able to have these two little children who can grow up together.
Baby number 4 is finally on board and due to arrive in 7 short weeks, the magic of seeing bub on the scan, and feeling the beautiful kicks & movements, Im so lucky to have you in my belly little one.
Nothing makes all the hard work worth it more than your child telling you that they love you!
I have 3 kids, a teenager, a 10 year old and a toddler, and the biggest thing I love about being a mum is seeing how my children are growing up to be lovely people; I can see they will make fantastic adults. I can see in my teenager how she is discovering personal responsibility and compassion for those around her and developing a drive in her education that we take her down the path she wants in life. I see how she looks out for her siblings, she will grab the 10 year olds hand before I do when we cross the road, she recognises the time, effort and money we put into her needs and the extracurricular activities she loves. The 10 year old is on her way to being the same way as her sister, she is loving and friendly and loyal and works hard and smiles at everyone. I love the love and adoration she has for her baby brother and the bond they have is amazing. My toddler amazes me every day; he is developing in leaps and bounds and makes me smile all the time. He has developed lovely little manners and even though the concept of sharing is very alien to him at the moment, I can sometimes see flashes of his sharing abilities. I just love that I and my husband had a big part to play in how these little people will turn out and I can see in my teenager and my tween that so far, we have done a pretty good job. That is what I love most about being a parent.
The best thing is the unconditional love and the big wet mouth open sloppy kisses.
The overwhelming love for someone that you have never felt before. The smiles they give you, the cuddles and laughter. Becoming a mother is one of the hardest but happiest moments of your life!
Seeing big eyes (blue, hazel or brown….I have just had our 3rd bub) gazing up at you while breastfeeding, showing complete adoration xo
The thing I love most (so far) has been watching my baby girls facial expressions go from…
staring blankly in bewilderment
to
oooooh I think she just smiled but maybe it’s gas
to
yep that’s definitely a smile, her eyes lit up when she did it
to… still waiting for the next thing, hoping with fingers crossed that it is laughter!
I love discovering all the other jobs that can come with being a mum:
Teacher – guiding bubs through all the milestones;
Photographer – taking countless pictures of the tiny little cuteness;
Seamstress – tracing around bub onto paper and designing tiny little cute clothes that I wish I could wear (but – alas – my post baby body doesn’t allow);
Fashionista – coordinating outfits to display the tiny little cuteness in matching hat and socks; …
and the best ‘job’ of all: being the receiver of such unbeatable, unbelievable, unconditional love (displayed in toothless, melt-your-heart smiles).
Seeing the innocent wonder, joy, and laughter when my son experiences something new!
The thing I love the most is my kids excitement when they learn or do something new.
I love how my daughter (17mths) has learnt to give kisses and cuddles. Watching her give kisses to her baby cousin and can’t wait to see her do the same to her baby bro or sis who is due in November 🙂
First time mum EDD in 4 weeks and 6 days (not that I’m counting!!!) I can’t wait for the first moment that I meet my little prince or princess for the first time! I can’t wait to hold their little hand and kiss their tiny face and wake up every day to the miracle that we created x Nawwww x not long now!!! :)_
The reality checks.
While you see frown lines, grey hair and cellulite, one soul stare from your bubba – who thinks you are the most beautiful creature on earth – reminds you of what beauty really is.
Then while you stress over your to do list and panic about how time is getting away from you, a quick glance at your child catching bubbles with glee reminds you that none of that other shit is important.
And while you try to buy macro-organic, picked-by-a magical-unicorn produce to give them the best start in life… they eat dirt and snails… AND LIVE.
Motherhood comes with the ONLY judge you need to tell how good you are at the job. Your child.
The best thing about being a mama is watching is father be a great papa
For me, the best part of being a Mama is watching my usually boisterous 3yo son, plant ever so soft & gentle kisses on his newborn baby sister’s cheek…..is on par with the sheer excitement on both hubby & son’s face when hubby gets home from work and is greeted with a massive hug & squeal of delight from the little man…. Simple pleasures 😉
Me? There are so many things I’m looking forward to. Before I start though, just picture me here with tears streaming down my face and a big crazy grin (gah! Pregnancy hormones!)
I’m going to be a first-time mum (apart from two fur babies) and while I know it’ll be full-on and nothing like I can imagine, I just can’t wait for the whole thing! I’m eagerly counting down the weeks (just 12 in) and looking forward to this new ‘adventure’ (hmm I’m sure actual mums out there might have a better word for it…) with my gorgeous and supportive hubby (he’s a natural at the back patting and fetching breaky). Can’t wait to meet our little one… but for now the next scan will have to tide me over. 🙂
My life has totally changed since becoming a mum just over a year ago – there are times of tears and frustration (from me) but the majority of it is the most awesome experience and roller coaster of my life!!! So much so I’m going again for number 2 – due in November!
Making lots of mummy friends.
The first moment to see my little one – that feeling of absolute love, contentment and bliss.
i am 36 weeks pregnant with surprise baby number 5 with each one of my babys i love the way everything is different eg the way they move and make your belly grow, each birth is a new frightening yet beautiful and exciting time and when he/she arrives i cant wait to count their little fingers and toes, see who they look more alike and how big or little they are. my eldest is 8 now and every day my kids amaze me on how clever they are they make me laugh at the sweet things they say and do and just watching how they grow into little people just makes me so proud to say we (my partner and i ) are the ones who brought them up the way they are today. sometimes it might get a little tough or hard but when that time passes you know you can do it all again and it makes you learn and become a better parent. being a parent is the most enjoyable thing in my life and in 4 or so weeks we are going to have another little bundle of joy to make our life so much more full of love and laughter and make our family a little bigger
The best part about being a mum is the cuteness on tap EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Twirling my hair drifting to sleep
Only wanting Mummy whenever she weeps
Calling out “Mummy” when she wakes in her cot
Singing, twirling, dancing, I love the lot!
Loving my daughter makes me shine…..
I’ve also renewed my love with wine!
even after a full day of the kids arguing, complaining, they still make my heart happy when before bed you get a little cuddle, a kiss, and “i love you mum”.
As a soon to be mum for the very first time, Im looking forward to the bond, the dreams, the laughing and the tears. Most of all the love he or she will add too our lives in making our family dream. This is a new chapter, a new adventure – but the greatest gift in the world, being a parent.
Im a mum of three and for the first time and nanny now too (only just). I would love to spoil my daughter and her any little lady – and bring the safety and security into their travels in exploring the world, and the 200km drive to my home for weekend visits. Pretty PLEASE!!!!
Being a Mum is like nothing else, the joys and the sorrows. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! The kisses have to be my fav thing, from the sloppy toddler kisses to the Eskimo and butterfly ones, I love them all.
The best thing about being a mama…the fact that it took me 1 1/2 hours to cook a ‘Jamie’s 15 min meal’ because I had my 2 year old helping me instead of my husband who was walking around with our 5 week old rocking and singing to him as he was a bit unsettled. That’s family team work and I love it! Crazy times. xxx
Sharing the experience with their Papa.
My very pregnant sister in law just moved in with us. I can’t wait to…
See my brother become a daddy.
Watch my momma see her first grandchild. Oh the tears!
See the pride & joy on my own daddy’s face.
Cuddle my little 60%sureitsaboy nephew for the first time.
Oh…& being able to give him back to my brother when it’s time for a nappie change. Payback!
noone really knows how it feels to be a mum until you have a family of your own,the love you have and give them each and every day never stops I am a mum of 4 and have two daughters pregnant and due three weeks apart, so will need all baby stuff all over again to help with nanna duties so my love will extend to the next generation I cant wait soooo excited.xxx
I never thought having a child would be this fgood or i wouldnt have waited until i was 30! Im loving watching my baby boy grow and he makes me smile, really smile.
I’m 31 weeks pregnant with bubba number 2. (It’s a boy!)
Waiting to see my new grandchild and watching my baby girl of 28 become a mother, getting to support her now and loving the fact shes turning to me for advice.
I must confess being a Mum is the best
3 little stinky boys and I wouldn’t swap them for the world
BUT I may just have to try for a little princess to complete our tribe.
being a mum is entirely a new world for me, ten tiny toes and ten tiny fingers changed my days and nights and added a new meaning to my life i see myself as a very important person i mean a lot to my baby.i always get amazed and thrilled at the same time when i see my baby eyes gets twinkled when she see’s me coming from another room its a unexplainable feeling which very hard to write down in words. its a miracle and very heavenly feeling to be a mum and i am truly blessed..:)
I love baby cuddles and kisses – even if they do come with a mouth full of vegemite toast 🙂
When I’m with my nan whos 92 and my mum whos 67 and my 2 girls who are 11months and 3yrs, I think about my great nanna who passed away when I was 15. Its hard to explain but I get this overwhelming feeling that I’m part of this continuing chain of love. I hold my babies and I think of all the mums who hold or who have held their babies and it fills me with wonder.
what i love most about being a mum is when my baby recognises and smiles at me , whenever he feels scared or hungry he turns to me for comfort. this feeling of caring for my baby is awesome..
I am truly blessed to be a mum of two handsome boys. I love being their secutity person. Just being able to see their smiling faces and wipe away the tears. Motherhood is the mist amazing job, your pay is pure love 🙂
The joy or broken heart that motherhood allows spins me through the whole spectrum of emotion. The wonderful days when I feel my cup runneth over. The days that I want to run away. Feeling it all, good or bad, gives my life purpose. Motherhood is walking around with all of your nerve endings raw and exposed. It is the most extreme measure of being alive.”
That I no longer sweat the small thing!
I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my second child. This time is a boy, I’m excited and nervous at the same time. But I’m really looking forward on how to look after and care for my son, I’m pretty sure it’s different from a girl 🙂
Having someone to wake up to every morning no matter what!
The first n continual times my little ones say I love u mumma, melts my heart, brightens my darkest days.
My kids love me, and I love them, thats all you need in life!!
There are too many things I enjoy about being a mum. Yes there are ups and downs but the good always outweigh the adverse issues. I love it when my son comes and gives me random cuddles. I love hearing my two special needs girls yabbering in their own language. Hearing “I love you mummy” brings tears of joy to my eyes. Yes I even enjoy nappy changes and PEG feed times. Why? Because I am bonding with my child. Being a mother to complex care special needs children is certainly a challenge. Finding wheelchairs, feeding tubes that break..but its a new form of perfection and bliss. I love being a mum because I love my children in a way that words could never ever explain, and the feeling a love and pride I get (that deep feeling) cannot be measured or adequately expressed with words.
25 weeks pregnant with our first. What I’m looking forward to the most about being mumma to my gorgeous little man is discovering the already growing bond between him and his daddy – a guy I was never sure would take to fatherhood at all has become a bigger “expert” on parenthood than book worm me, and is so looking forward to being a stay at home dad for as long as we can afford, pooey nappies, screaming nights, lack of sleep and all. Getting to watch already the two with their (admittedly limited) interaction has been amazing, and whilst I always knew I’d love being a mum for so many different reasons, this has just made it so much more special.
I’m 33 weeks pregnant with our first little bub. My partner and I are excited to meet him in 7 short weeks and kiss those precious little fingers and toes. I can’t wait for the exciting roller coaster ride that will be motherhood.
It is A wonderful feeling to have a beautiful little person growing inside of you then when they’re born you get to share many magical moments and milestones as the child grows and develops. There is also nothing better than unconditional love from your child.
I love being a Mama. The best thing would be watching my children laughing and having fun. They bring me so much joy and make me laugh.
Being a dad
Is the best job
I’ll ever have
The rewards will never end
From cuddles and kisses
To football and cricket
They are memories I’ll
Always have.
The thing I love
About being a mum
Is watching my babies grow
Learning new things
That each day brings
They each have a personality
All of their own.
I’m a mum of almost 6 (bubba #6 on the way) I love all the moments even those days where the house is upside down and I look like a crazy lady with my hair all over the place, it cuddles on the couch that make it all worth it!
I love knowing that each day will be full of something new and unexpected — it’s worth the hard stuff for those sweet little moments.
I can’t wait to be a mama, but at the same time am a little scared!
I’m looking forward to putting all your great tips and advice into action…and the cuddles, I’m really looking forward to the cuddles!
My baby daughter is 5 days old, after a long 8 years in between children, I am enjoying all the newborn stage for what seems like the first time.
For every spit stain, migraine, late night, new wrinkle, health fright, dirty nappy, washing pile … that first smile which makes it all worthwhile
I’m a Mum of three with one on the way and a Bob Motion Pram
plus a Maxi Rider Car Seat would bring ease to my day. Our old pram is tired
its wheels have gone flat and our car seats still occupied by a toddler, how’s
that? I’ve asked him if he’d like to give it to the new bub but he’s not happy with that.
I love that even when you are having a bad day and nothing is going right, a smile or a simple action from your child can make you smile or even have you rolling around the floor and in that moment everything else seems insignificant.
That hour on Sunday mornings when they’ve given up on waking me, and headed back to their room to do…whatever. For that hour, being a mama is simply divine!
I love being a mum, it is the most worthwhile job on the planet. Teaching little people to grow into amazing and responsible adults! Who wouldn’t want to spend time with our little beings? Love them!
I love that every time I look at my beautiful little boy, he can make all my troubles disappear. The overwhelming love, admiration and respect I have for him is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I love that I will always be his Mum and he has taught me so much about life in his short 2 years than I’ve learnt in ‘t whole 28 years.
Trip and tumble
Need a kiss and cuddle
From mama bear
Scrapes and bruisers
There’s nothing to it
With mamas tender hand
I love the way
I can save the day just by
Being there
For there is nowhere I’d rather be
Then with my baby bears.
Unconditional love!
I’m due to have my baby in a little bit over 12 weeks! I’m most looking forward to first meeting my bundle of joy and being able to guide my baby through life and watch them grow from a new born right up to a happy adult!
Can’t wait to meet you little one 🙂
I love be able to teach my girls new things and then witnessing how they process and explore what they’re learning.
I love the cuddles, I love you’s and the excitement we are all able to share with number 3 on the way…don’t know who is more excited-babes 1&2 or mum & dad!
The absolute joy that they give you in a smile that is just meant for mummy and mummy alone. My third child is due in a few months and I can’t wait for Mummy smiles
I love what Dear Boy is now calling “cuggles”: laying his little head against your leg, your shoulder, your belly and patting you with his chubbsy little hand.
The belly laugh chuckles I hear when they play together. And the joy on their face when they learn something new.
When I come home and my littlest runs up to me and says ” I missed you mummy, I really wuuuuv you”. It’s hard to beat!
The beautiful unconditional love that is shared between mother and child ♥
I love how motherhood has changed me into a better person. I’m more patient, understanding, forgiving and tolerant and this has made me truly content and happy within myself .
Adored being a mama… seven times!
I learned something new every day.
With daughters expecting their own ‘mama moments’,
I’ll help them, the Britax way!
I love being a single mum it has made me a stronger person and I can’t wait to shape my daughters life.
I love watching them grow and change right before my very eyes every single day, and when things get tough I love that I got through the challenge…alive and sane lol! xx,
The unknown …. No-one could possible tell you how amazing, scary, tiring it is to be a mother, and that you experience all of these emotions at once; but you will love EVERY moment of the experience. Definitely the best ‘job’ EVER!!!!
I never wanted children but my husband really did, I figured we could do this together. I had a terrible pregnancy and an emergency Caesarian at 32 weeks. My beautiful baby girl has changed my life. I thought I had to give up my career (which I love), my body, my time with just my husband, but I honestly can’t believe how much she has brought me. More joy than my career, a new perspective of what my body can achieve & create, and a family with my husband which makes our time together more incredible. My hearts explodes daily with love for her, motherhood is amazing, and I am thankful everyday to have a healthy, beautiful baby girl.
I adore watching my little girl grow and see how much she changes every single day. She has started saying mama and it just makes my heart melt.
The huge smiles I get when I go in to get my babies up in the morning!
I love seeing how she is becoming this little person of her own and it truly astonishes me how clever she is 🙂
I’m looking forward to the quiet moments sitting in the nursery with little miss / mr in my arms and just staring down at them lovingly as they lay peacefully in my arms <3 Those special bonding moments <3
I love most is the unconditional love you receive back, mostly in the form of heart melting smiles, toasty warm hugs and wet smooshy kisses <3
I love my darling son’s cuddles, kisses and “A-rah-bu” first thing in the morning, and last thing at night. I love hearing my darling son call me “Momma” and look at me with complete trust and total devotion. I love the smile that lights up his face when he sees me. He just makes me melt!
Lying in bed having an afternoon rest, feel a movement near my feet, glance down to see the big grin on my cheeky 2yos face as he crawls towards me for a cuddle. There are so many BIG moments of joy in parenting (when they’re born, first smiles, first words etc etc) but it’s the little, unexpected moments that I cherish most.
I love not only watching this amazing lil human who I made grow up into a big person, I also love learning about my own limits and abilities. I love every moment even the bad ones.
I love nothing more than seeing the big smile that lights up my little one’s face when he sees me first thing in the morning and after each nap
I love the adoring looks, heart melting smiles, infectious giggles, even the sometime sleepless night, because they all mean I’m finally a mummy and I wouldn’t change a thing.
I love the morning snuggles, the teachable moments, the funny conversations in the car, the random but hilarious things the kids come up with. I love the movements inside you, the moment you first lay your eyes on your child and welcome this little person that you know but you don’t into the world and into your family. And no matter how many children you do or don’t have, each one is individual and precious.
I love noticing the natural beauty and wonder in the world through the eyes of my children. It really reminds you about the joy of the simple things in life.
I love the first time they move inside you, and the realisation that no, I’m not just getting fat, I’m growing a new life inside me! And the way that this adventure has brought my husband and I closer than ever before, and made me love him more than I thought possible…What a special gift!
Gummy smiles.
Listening to him sleep.
Chubby Legs.
His wonder at the world.
Raspberries.
The bond in breastfeeding.
Sleep smiling.
Watching my husband be a father.
Bum dimples.
The innocence in his eyes.
Snort chuckles.
The overwhelming love I have to give to him.
And the insurmountable thanks I give for him.
I love everything about being a mum, but after waiting 7 years for our miracle bub number 2, I am especially looking forward to learning everything over again!
As I’ve not yet felt bub move inside me, I’m still super-excited about the wonder. About the possibilities of the rest of the pregnancy, and how much I’ll love this little person. About how this little person will completely change not just me for the better, but every relationship I have with ANYONE for the better. About my mother and her contribution as a grandparent and the way I’ve all of a sudden been hit with remorse for ANYTHING I ever did to disrespect her.
Mostly about seeing my husband fall in love with someone even more than he loves me, but with all our love for that little person adding to our love for each other. It’s that strange thing where the sum of two people is worth more than you could imagine as two individuals.
Hi there! I found this give away from fatmumslim.
I have a 15 month old daughter named kyra and I’m in my third trimester for baby number two. It’s a boy and his name is Eli.
What I love being most about being a mom….is BEING NEEDED! I just love being able to say this minnie human NEEDS me! And another one I really love the sound of a babies breathing while sleeping! So precious♥
Thanks!
I love the smiles, the I loe yous and my almost four year old telling me I’m sweet.
It’s the little things that I love. The scribbly pictures they draw, the display ballet dances in the lounge room, the jokes about poop, muddy hands, bubble bath mohawks and so much more. I love the trust that they have in me, the look of love in their eyes. I love their attitude, it reminds me of my own. I love their sense of adventure, just like their daddy. I love everything about my little munchkins.
Children bring life, joy and new beginnings. They bring lightness, hope and confidence to the world. After losing my little one last year, I truly treasure all that they are.
To bad I live in Holland 🙁
The look of unconditional love when they see you or do things with them.
I love those days when everything runs smoothly and you can take in all those special moments with your beautiful babe! 🙂 <3
Those days when i look upon my three kids, all playing nicely and happily, when the oldest {4yrs} cares for her two brothers when they are sick or injured, mothering them, when my kids want a cuddle and to just be held, there are so many things I love about being a mum, its hard to sum it all up. I guess, looking at these little human beings and knowing that I created them and that they are growing into the best little people I could ever want, that would have to be one of the best things
I adore when I come home from being at appointments and my little men come running down the hall arms spread yelling “mummy”. Makes up for any bad stuff that has happened during the day
I’m loving my husband transition from Mr Tough Guy to Mr Mushy and going ga ga over little baby clothes and toys. His eyes sparkle when he talks about becoming a dad. I can’t wait for the very first moment he gets to hold our little jellybean!
I am 4 mths pregnant and so far love everything. Hubby and I had our scan the other week and we both were in tears with excitement that our little baby was growing in my belly. It’s such exciting times 🙂
I’m loving the reminders that our life is about to change: from my husband insisting on doing everything for me to those baby sock folding moments. We cannot wait for this next adventure to begin.
I am a mumma to be and am looking forward to 12 months off work with my little man and watching him discover the world around him one baby step at a time
I’m looking forward to all the little things and sitting back and taking all the precious moments in. Life changing for the better 🙂
I love waking up in the mourning with all my kids in my bed cuddling each other and I love watching them grow up and go to school.
I’m hoping I’m about to become a mama, this week I’ve started my first cycle of IVF, I just can’t wait to get a little bundle of joy to hold in my arms!
I love the cuddles!
As a mama to be I’m looking forward to finger painting! And all the fun messy things that come with a lovable little new one
Watching them grow and learn each day. Still blows my mind how this little blob develops and reaches those amazing milestones so quickly.
I am looking forward to moments of great joy and pride, although, I know it will come with some moments of frustration and sacrifice. I will “carry” and guide them through their darkest days, and helped them celebrate the brightest ones. Whatever they do I will always be there for them no matter what.
I love that, despite the long and difficult nights, I am constantly surprised that my love for my children grows every day even though I always think I could never love them more.
I am a momma to be and can’t wait to meet my precious baby. I am looking forward to feeling that intense love you never thought was possible… Until you have a baby. I absolutely cannot wait!
We are currently expecting our 5th baby.. yes you read right ha.. (we have a sweet angel that watches from above) for me being a mama is so rewarding and there is nothing like seeing your child discover/learn things for the first time and to see them achieve it is such a blessing. Seeing them grow and remembering how they were just so tiny a few what it seems blinks ago. Thanks for the chance. OH Hubby says thanks for the chance too Ha..
I’m not sure if I’ll qualify, but I would love to win this prize for a dear friend of mine who has recently announced her pregnancy. The happy couple are of course really delighted and excited, but she is also pretty overwhelmed (it was an unexpected, though wonderful surprise!).
I know she’s feeling the pressure to have everything “just so” in time for bubs’ arrival, and I know this prize would help her enormously. I know she’s going to be a fabulous mama and would love to see her enjoying the experience rather than worrying about all the things she needs to do beforehand.
None of us close friends are mama’s yet either, so I don’t feel I have any practical advice, experience, or “words of wisdom” to offer, but I’d love to be of help where I can. Am very much looking forward to being “pseudo aunty” to this little bundle of joy later in the year! x
I love getting home and my toddler running up and motioning for me to cuddle him (he has a speech delay and doesn’t talk yet). It’s so cute how he does it and when he’s in my arms he snuggles into my neck and wraps his arms around me so tight and gets such a lovely contented look on his face… ahhh. 🙂
I love to watch my children change and grow. I love how they delight in the little things that we forget to delight in!
One of my favourite things is to watch my foster babies grow and learn and thrive when they are given the opportunity to be in a safe, loving environment! And to see the magic & sparkle in their eyes when they know that they are loved!!!
What about aunties? Can aunties enter on their sisters behalf? I’m looking forward to corrupting my niece and doing all those delishly devilish things only an aunty can get away with doing! haha! But in all seriousness, being part of something so small, having an influence on their development, watching myself develop in response to her milestones, watching my family change in response to a new little one. Simply. Amazing. I can’t wait to show her my favourite childhood games, climb trees, paint nails, play princesses, or serious work women games, blow bubbles. Ahhh. Its the simple things 🙂 And this aunty will be the one taking little niece bushwalking, so really, I guess the pram would be for me anyways!
I’ve only been a mama for six weeks but the greatest bit so far is cuddling that new baby smell!!
The company
I love being able to do everything again, slippery dip and swings in the park, not looking like a dag as I finger paint and make sandcastles.
I am due with my first in September and am looking forward to a sweet and pure connection with a little being who is my own creation! (With some help from the hubby!)
Big smoochy, sloppy kisses at random moments through the day.
I am eagerly planning my second for an end of this year/ beginning of next year conception. I LOVE all things pregnancy, birth and the endless learning experiences child raising brings. I delight in every achievement and new learnings of my 3yo. Parenting is challenging, but the MOST rewarding thing I have every done.
I am 7 months pregnant with our first miracle baby after years of fertility issues. I am most looking forward to being able to gaze at that little face for hours knowing that we made the most perfect person in the world.
I am expecting my second child in November. There are so many things I love about being a Mum. However, now my daughter is 2, one of the best things is having the love returned. My Daughter, Abigail, will come over to me, cradle my face in her hands, tilt her head and give me her ‘loving face’. What I love is that I know I often have done this to her, so having that expression of deep love and affection returned is bliss.
I love hearing the completely random stuff that comes out of my 6 year old sons mouth.
The other day he told me what I was doing looked “complex”. I was doing the dishes!
I am looking forward to the unconditional love and awe. Although it will be scary having something so small and helpless depending on me, I can’t wait to share my life with it.
I am pregnant with my first blessing. I am most looking forward to creating new memories, new family traditions and sharing him or her with friends and family.
I look forward to teaching him or her to appreciate life, to laugh, give back to the earth and most importantly, to love. I just know this little one is something truly special. Our hearts are overjoyed.
I love watching her choose something. What to wear, what to play with, who to go to but most especially I love it when she chooses to come up to me with a kiss and a cuddle.
I Love the Admiration and Love in my Son’s Eyes When I am Being Silly and Making him Laugh. He Looks at me Like I am the Best thing Ever. Its an Amazing Feeling.
I’m a new mama-to-be and can’t wait to meet our little man. I’m most looking forward to hearing his first cry – proof that he is real!
I am a first time Mumma-to-be with 14 weeks to go. I am looking forward to that unbreakable magic bond. Can’t wait to hold him/her for the first time and hear that little lamb-like cry and look into their eyes ♡
Mumma of two and on the countdown to number 3. I’m so looking forward to watching all three of our babies together, loving & learning & growing together.
32 weeks pregnant with Number 1… I’m most terrified (and most looking forward to) wearing my heart on the outside of my body. A feeling that’s been described to me many times by other Mummy’s but still seems incomprehensible… for now! xx
The entertainment. My kids are funny, they are interesting, they take me places I would never have got to without them in my life. My kids give me so much.
I just became a mom as of may 1st. I love just looking at him, when he looks at me and when he smiles in his sleep
I’m a mum twice over and I love watching my kids interact. My girl is known as ‘mini mum’ at daycare. My little man almost jumps out of his skin when he’s getting some love from her. Watching her read him stories and tuck him into bed (they are 2yrs & 6mths). Just the little things
To create, to Love, to nurture and care for your children are just some of the things I love about being a Mama. I am a mother of 4 and have one on the way. For me, to give the gift of life is one of the most precious things in this world. Being part of someone else’s life to guide and assist them, teach them and show them all sorts of wonders in this world is a cherished gift. Which in turn. you also learn and grow with them. A beautiful bond of Unconditional love. I give my everything to be the best and do the best I can for my children. I simply love being a Mama.
I am a mummy to two beautiful boys and I love be able to watch and teach them grow into little men! I most enjoy the hugs at the end of a busy day and love they show you, the way the hold your finger and smile. Everything and anything in life just goes away for those few minutes, I love being a mummy and everything that comes with it and can not wait to do it all again!!!
Well i’m not a mama but I’m just about to become a father for the first time. My beautiful fiancé is 4 months pregnant and we couldn’t be happier. I can’t wait to bring this little soul into this wonderful world and experience the joys of life as a parent. I can’t wait to laugh, teach, support and be the best papa possible for our little gift.
I’m six months pregnant with my first. I’ve noticed some people are full of dire warnings about having children and the freedoms you’re deprived of as a result, I however am looking forward to all the tiny joys that people forget to mention. Just the everyday things, getting to know the unique personality of your little one and their little quirks, enjoying their funny faces and noises.
I’m 18 weeks pregnant today with my first. I can’t wait to show my little one all the wonder and magic there is in the world – things like rainbows and sunshowers, reflections in ponds and puddles, the softness of a puppy’s fur, and all the love in the world.
watching my twins learn new things like rolling, crawling, walking, smiling, laughing and clapping they are 11 months old now and I am trying to teach them how to kiss, the furthest I have gotten is with my son to give a air kiss it is so so cute I absolutely love it. they are my 5th and 6th children and this time I am taking the time to enjoy every minute I can with them because before you know it they are all grown up.
I am a mum for the second time around in my life. I have two teenagers who are becoming more independent every day and also a toddler and a new baby on the way. Having teenagers has multiplied the joy of having little ones. After the emotional challenges of living with teenagers when a toddler throws a tantrum or misbehaves it is nothing but cute! What I love most is witnessing my children experience new stages in life- whether learning to talk or learning to be a young adult. Being a cheerleader on their journeys is very satisfying.
The best thing about being a mumma is being able to watch and encourage the growth of your child. Words can’t express the feeling I get everytime my 3 year old does or says something new
Watching them grow, taking in their first smile, laugh, and movement. they are all moments which happen once in a life time and are not able to be reproduced!
I love the sleepy cuddles,
The giggles and the squeals,
Her cheeky eyebrow raise,
And bird-watching zeal.
I love that I can calm her
And kiss away any drama,
But what I love the most
Is the way she calls me “Mama”.
‘Huggles’ with my girl!
The thing I love the most about being a new Mumma, is the pure fact that I cant believe I made this little person who lays before me. I also LOVE the getting to know you part. Regardless of the sleepless nights and the usual stress’ that a new babe can bring… These are the parts I loved with our first and what I look forward to again with our new bub arriving in approx 6 weeks! Thanks.
I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant and the one thing I’m looking forward to about being a mumma is that first look, the first touch, the first kiss and the first hug of my beautiful little boy! That’s what I’m most looking forward to is meeting him for the first time, that instant love at first site. Counting down the days till I meet you! Love always mummy <3
The thing I love the most is how much my baby teaches me, she’s taught me true love, strength, power, and most of all patience. I learn something new from my baby everyday. I look forward to what the next day will bring.
I am 7 months pregnant with our first bubs. It is all very daunting but I am looking forward to meeting our little one so I can have lots of cuddles and adore that new baby smell 🙂
I have 2 children one almost 3 and the other 1month the thing I love most is hearing and seeing my little boy making little sounds and smiling and my daughter trying to help in every way possible puts a smile on my face
She giggles, has fun when at play,
Gives cuddles each and every day,
Has humour to delight,
And a nature with bite,
Makes me think that i’ve raised her okay
Hi! I’m 20 weeks pregnant, and have preggo insomnia. So I’m most looking forward to a good sleep when I give birth! oh.. wait.. umm and mashing lots of peas. No, really, I’m most looking forward to having permission to be silly and goofy every day, and spend time playing, being light, and enjoying the sandpit. Kids love to play, I love to play! I can’t wait to sing like an idiot and dance around the living room and laugh at everything. And for cuddles. I love cuddles so now we can have baby-sandwiches and spread the love in our little family.
I love sleepy snuggles and watching my baby girl sleeping with not a care in the world. Innocent and unaware of any of the dramas of the world.
I just love seeing my kids grow. Each and every day they’re that little bit different. Also love seeing me in them.. That’s a very cool feeling! Having children is very special..! Fingers tightly crossed! 🙂
I love the feeling of my little babies under my wings each day, especially when I have both my newborn and toddler in bed for cuddles every morning… The BEST way to start each day. Oh… And having crazy dance time in the house each day!
Cuddles, I love the amazing cuddles my little man gives me. I love watching him grown & learn. Am also looking forward to watching his reactions as bub #2 grows before arriving Dec this year 🙂
I love how my son (five) randomly tells me he loves me and how my daughter (3) pronounces words. Im really looking forward to seeing how big my baby really is because im due July 9th and he feels like a monster!
I love that my two year old son has taught me how to be a kid and have fun again!
Love knowing he’s gained weight because of MY breast,
The fact he won’t settle with anyone else for his rest,
That look in his eye, knowing I’m his whole world,
Tiny fingers wrapped around mine all tight and curled,
Many moments this New Mama loves already,
Many more to look forward and I’ll be ready!
I love the smell of them and how soft they are and to know that there yours forever to love and no one can take that away from you ever.
Sent straight from heaven up above
I have an angel that I love
I hold and rock and kiss her good night
And wrap my arms around her tight!
The smiles you get everyday are so rewarding,
What I love the most is the thought that they are mine and I am theirs forever. They are the most amazing thing I have done in this life and I get reminded of that every time I look at them 🙂
I love soooo many things about being a Mumma I don’t think I could just specify any one thing! I love my childrens smell, I love their cheeky smiles, I love their giggles, I love their kisses, I love their hugs, I guess most of all…I love that they were made out of love!
I love that because of these 6 children, my life has so much meaning and purpose. I love that I have been given this wonderful gift, in the form of these beautiful children, to do my best to raise into well mannered, polite, successful in whichever path they may chose and happy adults. I love being on this journey of life with them. They are my everything.
I’m currently pregnant with baby number 3 and unless we win the lotto this will be our last child.
It is hard work being pregnant and having 2 other children to look after but there is no better feeling then bub kicking away in my tummy, seeing him get bigger in each ultrasound and having his 2 older brothers kiss my tummy and talk to him.
I can’t wait to meet our newest addition and give him endless cuddles.
I imagine like all siblings our 3 boys are going to argue as they grow up but I hope they are the best of friends growing up.
I love it when I walk in the door from work at 7pm and all 3 kids (11, 7 & 3) race to the door for cuddles and kisses while exclaiming “mum’s home” no matter how hard work was or how tired I am this always melts my heart <3
I love that when I’m having a bad day my gorgeous son is ready to cheer me up even when he is the one that sometimes causes the troubles. I can’t get enough of that cheesy grin and giggle and he knows exactly when to do it!!
There is so many things that I love it is hard to narrow it down. I love seeing my 2 kids 16 girl n 8 boy getting alone so well they love each to bit watching them play, helping each other out and loving one another. I am also really looking forward to having this baby come into this world knowing that the bub will have 2 great, loving siblings. Being a mom is so rewarding with all the up’s and down’s it is something that I would cherish forever.
The look of total admiration and love they throw my way. Something that money just cannot buy.
I love that I’m responsible for shaping, supporting and encouraging a future adult. She can be anything she wants to be, and I will be there, behind her, all the way. I love that she feels secure enough in herself to try new things, knowing I’ll be there, to be her soft place to fall. No matter what happens in her world, she looks to me and knows it will be ok. I love that I am that important in her world.
I love being a Mama as i can see my baby girl growing, developing and changing every day. I love her smiles and smothering her in kisses. After trying for her for so long it is great to know that she is mine and my husbands and nothing is going to change that. She has my heart forever and I wouldnt change that for the world.
The best thing about being a mama is my 8 week old’s smiles and constant chatter. He loves interacting with me and his eyes follow me wherever I go, even if someone else is holding him 🙂
I am a mother of four beautiful girls and I love everything about being a mum, it is the most amazing thing you could ever be apart of, I am very blessed 🙂
I love that one smile from my little girl can wipe away any bad mood/bad day. She keeps me grounded, she keeps me sane, she makes me appreciate life more. She’s my inspiration for wanting to make myself better.
I love watching my 15month old son happily play with his dad knowing we made him! Nothing melts ur heart quite like that. Every sleepless night since birth makes everything worth it when my son climbs on me for a cuddle, or when i finish work and he comes running up to the door! Those are just a few of our precious moments. Bliss <3
That
every public tantrum with it’s inevitable disapproving stares and ‘tut tuts’
from “more knowledgeable” people, every poo explosion which manages to leak
through a nappy, 4 layers of clothing, and the car seat all the way to the
ground below, every projectile vomit which gives you an unexpected refreshing
morning mud mask, and every night where you decide what fun it would be to stay
up for 13 hours straight carrying a screaming watermelon around the house only
for them to fall asleep in a position which makes it impossible for YOU to
sleep, means absolutely NOTHING when they give you that sweet, “innocent” baby
grin that melt your heart and tricks you into believing that from this moment
on everything will be perfect with the world J
I love that I get called mummy. That my girls entire world revolves around me and that I get to be their comfort, their laughter and their guidance! They look to me as their world and they have taught me so much about who I am and what life means.
I love that my daughter brings that light to my life, the one where it doesn’t matter how bad your day is, your child just makes it instantly better. I love her imagination and creation, she is inventive and a joy to watch as she grows and learns.
The most amazing thing about being a mama is looking into my little man’s eyes and seeing his love and adoration for me, he trusts me unconditionally to look out for him. My heart is ready to burst with every knowing look
I love the fact that soon my husband and I will have in our hands a little slice of me and a little slice in him in a new and beautiful little person. That together we get to watch he/she grow and develop a personality and we get to watch and shape an amazing little baby become an amazing person. It’s an amazing blessing!
The unknowing everyday and the learning from my children on how being young and silly makes us happy
I love that you teach them everything you know and that one day they may teach you a few things as well and knowing that you have never loved someone so much until you first looked into those gorgeous little eyes for the first time. There is good and bad about being a mum but there is so many good times then bad.
I love this new change after being a mom,a mom inside me comes out & babies every day new activity his smile his sweet cuddle his tiny hand & feet,his smiling eyes.i love every day I wish to have too many kids so i Can enjoy more & more
I am a mama to two beautiful girls but pregnant with my 3rd baby. What I love most of all is the sweet smell of a newborn! There is nothing like it!
I love seeing little bit of me in my daughter, i see it in her good nature, her smiles, when she makes silly faces! She changed my life for good 🙂 thanks for the chance
Being told everyday that my daughters love me…and the little quirky sayings that they come out with…it’s just priceless. 🙂
I love the smiles that I get. And the utter adoration that lights up his face when he sees me!
I love seeing my children interact with eachother. We have built this whole little family and to see our little girls be so loving towards eachother and playing together gives me a sense of joy that is impossible to measure.
For me, being a mum has changed my life. Having two kids now makes me appreciate what my own mum did for me growing up, and I now understand decisions that she made better. My two kids are the reason I wake up in the morning!
A smile and a giggle always melts my heart – and watching the kicking and bouncing of number 2 in my belly is the most amazing thing!
I Love how they have taught me so much and also given me a new perspective. There’s just so much to love about being a mama. I’m just so blessed to be able to share my life with my 3 children soon to be 4 making some crazy, awesome memories with them.
When my little girl asks for “Cuggles” makes my heart instantly melt.
I am looking forward to meeting our little buddy and can’t wait to learn all the lessons being a mama will bring. Having a piece of my husband and i mixed into a little being that we get to guide through life and bring up into a wonderful young person will be an amazing and no doubt rewarding experience. I am looking forward as to how selfless my husband and i will become of the next 18+ years for our children.
I love being able to nurture, educate, give love and help a little one into this big world, where possibility and new experiences are out there to be enjoyed. The feeling of giving love that grows more each day is so rewarding and it makes me feel good as a human and Mama as well as the little one knowing that there is someone to support them and feel loved.
Since I’ve had my second baby, the best thing is watching them play together, my oldest just loves her little sister so much it makes me warm and fuzzy watching them cuddle and wrestle!
I love looking at my sons excited smile when he sees me enter the room or when i get him out of his cot! I also love his giggles they make me go all gooey and laugh with him!
I love watching my 3 year old son grow into a little man. Everything is new to him and I love being able to see things from their eyes. The cuddles are pretty good too 🙂
“I LOVE being a mum because it is the proudest thing I have done — raising another little human being and making a difference in this world.” — Lauren McFadyen
Everything! I love his little face & noises, I love feeding him and cuddles I dont even mind the lack of sleep, all worth every minute!
the smiles, the hugs and unexpected kisses,
the daring feats and often near misses!
the new words and mispronunciations
The copying daddy with naughty exclaimations!
watching him brush himself off after a fall
theres so much more, I LOVE it all!
Well I have waited more than 2 years for our latest so I’m going to say everything from the first cuddle to the sleep deprived nights 🙂
I am a mum and pregnant again, I love the fact my kids look at me with love and support and know I will be there for anything and everything they will ever need. To be able to offer the ability to teach strength and courage to my child is truly amazing.
When my son comes up to me and says ” I love you so much mummy” and then kisses me on each cheek and then the lips followed by a huge “huggle”
When I see how excited he gets when he sees new things (like his hands, the trees, cats)
My 5 kids smiling faces. Melts my heart ❤
I love that I can see my 1 year old son learning new things everyday. The fact that I have helped him to learn/do these new things makes me feel I’m doing a good job as a mummy
I love everything about being to mama . It is hard work but the rewards are the greatest. Watching them grow and learn and laugh.
The hugs, the kisses, the giggles, the “i love you mummy”‘s, the handmade craft, the love that makes your heart burst are all wonderful. But I also love the hard times and times when things don’t go to plan which are a good reminder that I am human and I do make mistakes. Parenting isn’t easy, but it is still the best thing I will ever do.
How a simple cuddle from your kids can make any situation instantly seem not so bad xx
What I love about being a mother , that its the best job in the world and I wouldn’t have it any way else , I’m a mother of 3 kids and one on the way , some people might think I’m crazy having kids all after each other ( my kids ages are 4 years 2 years and 1 year ) I have the 4th coming in December , which I’m very nervous about , I don’t know why.
I wanted to keep this pregnancy a secret from family and friends , just at least till I pass the 1st trimester , I just couldn’t keep it a secret , children are a blessing and wouldn’t want my life any other way , from there first breath to there first smile to there first step .
Being a mother and being pregnant is the best thing and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else
Being a Mum is absolute bliss,
Each little cuddle and sneaky kiss,
Each new tooth and spoken word
It’s no wonder I would love a third!
That wonderful feeling is what i Iove best,
Every smile makes my heart beat out of my chest,
The apple of their fathers eye,
If only the time didn’t fly by!
I love being a mummy because i have a child who looks up to me & not only does she learn from me but i learn from her, also i love the endless kisses & hugs from my daughter 🙂
I love that when my son is being held by somebody else he always looks around to make sure that I’m still there. I cherish these moments as I know a day will come when he looks around to make sure I’m not watching him do something naughty :o)
I adore seeing my children aged 3.5 and 2 cuddle and play together. My heart sings with joy every-single-time. I feel so lucky that I was able to have these two little children who can grow up together.
Baby number 4 is finally on board and due to arrive in 7 short weeks, the magic of seeing bub on the scan, and feeling the beautiful kicks & movements, Im so lucky to have you in my belly little one.
Nothing makes all the hard work worth it more than your child telling you that they love you!
I have 3 kids, a teenager, a 10 year old and a toddler, and the biggest thing I love about being a mum is seeing how my children are growing up to be lovely people; I can see they will make fantastic adults. I can see in my teenager how she is discovering personal responsibility and compassion for those around her and developing a drive in her education that we take her down the path she wants in life. I see how she looks out for her siblings, she will grab the 10 year olds hand before I do when we cross the road, she recognises the time, effort and money we put into her needs and the extracurricular activities she loves. The 10 year old is on her way to being the same way as her sister, she is loving and friendly and loyal and works hard and smiles at everyone. I love the love and adoration she has for her baby brother and the bond they have is amazing. My toddler amazes me every day; he is developing in leaps and bounds and makes me smile all the time. He has developed lovely little manners and even though the concept of sharing is very alien to him at the moment, I can sometimes see flashes of his sharing abilities. I just love that I and my husband had a big part to play in how these little people will turn out and I can see in my teenager and my tween that so far, we have done a pretty good job. That is what I love most about being a parent.
The best thing is the unconditional love and the big wet mouth open sloppy kisses.
The overwhelming love for someone that you have never felt before. The smiles they give you, the cuddles and laughter. Becoming a mother is one of the hardest but happiest moments of your life!
Seeing big eyes (blue, hazel or brown….I have just had our 3rd bub) gazing up at you while breastfeeding, showing complete adoration xo
The thing I love most (so far) has been watching my baby girls facial expressions go from…
staring blankly in bewilderment
to
oooooh I think she just smiled but maybe it’s gas
to
yep that’s definitely a smile, her eyes lit up when she did it
to… still waiting for the next thing, hoping with fingers crossed that it is laughter!
I love discovering all the other jobs that can come with being a mum:
Teacher – guiding bubs through all the milestones;
Photographer – taking countless pictures of the tiny little cuteness;
Seamstress – tracing around bub onto paper and designing tiny little cute clothes that I wish I could wear (but – alas – my post baby body doesn’t allow);
Fashionista – coordinating outfits to display the tiny little cuteness in matching hat and socks; …
and the best ‘job’ of all: being the receiver of such unbeatable, unbelievable, unconditional love (displayed in toothless, melt-your-heart smiles).
Seeing the innocent wonder, joy, and laughter when my son experiences something new!
The thing I love the most is my kids excitement when they learn or do something new.
I love how my daughter (17mths) has learnt to give kisses and cuddles. Watching her give kisses to her baby cousin and can’t wait to see her do the same to her baby bro or sis who is due in November 🙂
First time mum EDD in 4 weeks and 6 days (not that I’m counting!!!) I can’t wait for the first moment that I meet my little prince or princess for the first time! I can’t wait to hold their little hand and kiss their tiny face and wake up every day to the miracle that we created x Nawwww x not long now!!! :)_
The reality checks.
While you see frown lines, grey hair and cellulite, one soul stare from your bubba – who thinks you are the most beautiful creature on earth – reminds you of what beauty really is.
Then while you stress over your to do list and panic about how time is getting away from you, a quick glance at your child catching bubbles with glee reminds you that none of that other shit is important.
And while you try to buy macro-organic, picked-by-a magical-unicorn produce to give them the best start in life… they eat dirt and snails… AND LIVE.
Motherhood comes with the ONLY judge you need to tell how good you are at the job. Your child.
The best thing about being a mama is watching is father be a great papa
For me, the best part of being a Mama is watching my usually boisterous 3yo son, plant ever so soft & gentle kisses on his newborn baby sister’s cheek…..is on par with the sheer excitement on both hubby & son’s face when hubby gets home from work and is greeted with a massive hug & squeal of delight from the little man…. Simple pleasures 😉
Me? There are so many things I’m looking forward to. Before I start though, just picture me here with tears streaming down my face and a big crazy grin (gah! Pregnancy hormones!)
I’m going to be a first-time mum (apart from two fur babies) and while I know it’ll be full-on and nothing like I can imagine, I just can’t wait for the whole thing! I’m eagerly counting down the weeks (just 12 in) and looking forward to this new ‘adventure’ (hmm I’m sure actual mums out there might have a better word for it…) with my gorgeous and supportive hubby (he’s a natural at the back patting and fetching breaky). Can’t wait to meet our little one… but for now the next scan will have to tide me over. 🙂
My life has totally changed since becoming a mum just over a year ago – there are times of tears and frustration (from me) but the majority of it is the most awesome experience and roller coaster of my life!!! So much so I’m going again for number 2 – due in November!
Making lots of mummy friends.
The first moment to see my little one – that feeling of absolute love, contentment and bliss.
i am 36 weeks pregnant with surprise baby number 5 with each one of my babys i love the way everything is different eg the way they move and make your belly grow, each birth is a new frightening yet beautiful and exciting time and when he/she arrives i cant wait to count their little fingers and toes, see who they look more alike and how big or little they are. my eldest is 8 now and every day my kids amaze me on how clever they are they make me laugh at the sweet things they say and do and just watching how they grow into little people just makes me so proud to say we (my partner and i ) are the ones who brought them up the way they are today. sometimes it might get a little tough or hard but when that time passes you know you can do it all again and it makes you learn and become a better parent. being a parent is the most enjoyable thing in my life and in 4 or so weeks we are going to have another little bundle of joy to make our life so much more full of love and laughter and make our family a little bigger
The best part about being a mum is the cuteness on tap EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Twirling my hair drifting to sleep
Only wanting Mummy whenever she weeps
Calling out “Mummy” when she wakes in her cot
Singing, twirling, dancing, I love the lot!
Loving my daughter makes me shine…..
I’ve also renewed my love with wine!
even after a full day of the kids arguing, complaining, they still make my heart happy when before bed you get a little cuddle, a kiss, and “i love you mum”.
As a soon to be mum for the very first time, Im looking forward to the bond, the dreams, the laughing and the tears. Most of all the love he or she will add too our lives in making our family dream. This is a new chapter, a new adventure – but the greatest gift in the world, being a parent.
Im a mum of three and for the first time and nanny now too (only just). I would love to spoil my daughter and her any little lady – and bring the safety and security into their travels in exploring the world, and the 200km drive to my home for weekend visits. Pretty PLEASE!!!!
Being a Mum is like nothing else, the joys and the sorrows. I wouldn’t trade it for the world! The kisses have to be my fav thing, from the sloppy toddler kisses to the Eskimo and butterfly ones, I love them all.
The best thing about being a mama…the fact that it took me 1 1/2 hours to cook a ‘Jamie’s 15 min meal’ because I had my 2 year old helping me instead of my husband who was walking around with our 5 week old rocking and singing to him as he was a bit unsettled. That’s family team work and I love it! Crazy times. xxx
Sharing the experience with their Papa.
My very pregnant sister in law just moved in with us. I can’t wait to…
See my brother become a daddy.
Watch my momma see her first grandchild. Oh the tears!
See the pride & joy on my own daddy’s face.
Cuddle my little 60%sureitsaboy nephew for the first time.
Oh…& being able to give him back to my brother when it’s time for a nappie change. Payback!
noone really knows how it feels to be a mum until you have a family of your own,the love you have and give them each and every day never stops I am a mum of 4 and have two daughters pregnant and due three weeks apart, so will need all baby stuff all over again to help with nanna duties so my love will extend to the next generation I cant wait soooo excited.xxx
I never thought having a child would be this fgood or i wouldnt have waited until i was 30! Im loving watching my baby boy grow and he makes me smile, really smile.
I’m 31 weeks pregnant with bubba number 2. (It’s a boy!)
Waiting to see my new grandchild and watching my baby girl of 28 become a mother, getting to support her now and loving the fact shes turning to me for advice.
I must confess being a Mum is the best
3 little stinky boys and I wouldn’t swap them for the world
BUT I may just have to try for a little princess to complete our tribe.
being a mum is entirely a new world for me, ten tiny toes and ten tiny fingers changed my days and nights and added a new meaning to my life i see myself as a very important person i mean a lot to my baby.i always get amazed and thrilled at the same time when i see my baby eyes gets twinkled when she see’s me coming from another room its a unexplainable feeling which very hard to write down in words. its a miracle and very heavenly feeling to be a mum and i am truly blessed..:)
I love baby cuddles and kisses – even if they do come with a mouth full of vegemite toast 🙂
When I’m with my nan whos 92 and my mum whos 67 and my 2 girls who are 11months and 3yrs, I think about my great nanna who passed away when I was 15. Its hard to explain but I get this overwhelming feeling that I’m part of this continuing chain of love. I hold my babies and I think of all the mums who hold or who have held their babies and it fills me with wonder.
what i love most about being a mum is when my baby recognises and smiles at me , whenever he feels scared or hungry he turns to me for comfort. this feeling of caring for my baby is awesome..
I am truly blessed to be a mum of two handsome boys. I love being their secutity person. Just being able to see their smiling faces and wipe away the tears. Motherhood is the mist amazing job, your pay is pure love 🙂
The joy or broken heart that motherhood allows spins me through the whole spectrum of emotion. The wonderful days when I feel my cup runneth over. The days that I want to run away. Feeling it all, good or bad, gives my life purpose. Motherhood is walking around with all of your nerve endings raw and exposed. It is the most extreme measure of being alive.”
That I no longer sweat the small thing!
I’m 36 weeks pregnant with my second child. This time is a boy, I’m excited and nervous at the same time. But I’m really looking forward on how to look after and care for my son, I’m pretty sure it’s different from a girl 🙂
Having someone to wake up to every morning no matter what!
The first n continual times my little ones say I love u mumma, melts my heart, brightens my darkest days.
My kids love me, and I love them, thats all you need in life!!
There are too many things I enjoy about being a mum. Yes there are ups and downs but the good always outweigh the adverse issues. I love it when my son comes and gives me random cuddles. I love hearing my two special needs girls yabbering in their own language. Hearing “I love you mummy” brings tears of joy to my eyes. Yes I even enjoy nappy changes and PEG feed times. Why? Because I am bonding with my child. Being a mother to complex care special needs children is certainly a challenge. Finding wheelchairs, feeding tubes that break..but its a new form of perfection and bliss. I love being a mum because I love my children in a way that words could never ever explain, and the feeling a love and pride I get (that deep feeling) cannot be measured or adequately expressed with words.
25 weeks pregnant with our first. What I’m looking forward to the most about being mumma to my gorgeous little man is discovering the already growing bond between him and his daddy – a guy I was never sure would take to fatherhood at all has become a bigger “expert” on parenthood than book worm me, and is so looking forward to being a stay at home dad for as long as we can afford, pooey nappies, screaming nights, lack of sleep and all. Getting to watch already the two with their (admittedly limited) interaction has been amazing, and whilst I always knew I’d love being a mum for so many different reasons, this has just made it so much more special.
I’m 33 weeks pregnant with our first little bub. My partner and I are excited to meet him in 7 short weeks and kiss those precious little fingers and toes. I can’t wait for the exciting roller coaster ride that will be motherhood.
It is A wonderful feeling to have a beautiful little person growing inside of you then when they’re born you get to share many magical moments and milestones as the child grows and develops. There is also nothing better than unconditional love from your child.
I love being a Mama. The best thing would be watching my children laughing and having fun. They bring me so much joy and make me laugh.
Being a dad
Is the best job
I’ll ever have
The rewards will never end
From cuddles and kisses
To football and cricket
They are memories I’ll
Always have.
The thing I love
About being a mum
Is watching my babies grow
Learning new things
That each day brings
They each have a personality
All of their own.
I’m a mum of almost 6 (bubba #6 on the way) I love all the moments even those days where the house is upside down and I look like a crazy lady with my hair all over the place, it cuddles on the couch that make it all worth it!
I love knowing that each day will be full of something new and unexpected — it’s worth the hard stuff for those sweet little moments.
I can’t wait to be a mama, but at the same time am a little scared!
I’m looking forward to putting all your great tips and advice into action…and the cuddles, I’m really looking forward to the cuddles!
My baby daughter is 5 days old, after a long 8 years in between children, I am enjoying all the newborn stage for what seems like the first time.
For every spit stain, migraine, late night, new wrinkle, health fright, dirty nappy, washing pile … that first smile which makes it all worthwhile
I’m a Mum of three with one on the way and a Bob Motion Pram
plus a Maxi Rider Car Seat would bring ease to my day. Our old pram is tired
its wheels have gone flat and our car seats still occupied by a toddler, how’s
that? I’ve asked him if he’d like to give it to the new bub but he’s not happy with that.
I love that even when you are having a bad day and nothing is going right, a smile or a simple action from your child can make you smile or even have you rolling around the floor and in that moment everything else seems insignificant.
That hour on Sunday mornings when they’ve given up on waking me, and headed back to their room to do…whatever. For that hour, being a mama is simply divine!
I love being a mum, it is the most worthwhile job on the planet. Teaching little people to grow into amazing and responsible adults! Who wouldn’t want to spend time with our little beings? Love them!
I love that every time I look at my beautiful little boy, he can make all my troubles disappear. The overwhelming love, admiration and respect I have for him is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I love that I will always be his Mum and he has taught me so much about life in his short 2 years than I’ve learnt in ‘t whole 28 years.
Trip and tumble
Need a kiss and cuddle
From mama bear
Scrapes and bruisers
There’s nothing to it
With mamas tender hand
I love the way
I can save the day just by
Being there
For there is nowhere I’d rather be
Then with my baby bears.
Unconditional love!
I’m due to have my baby in a little bit over 12 weeks! I’m most looking forward to first meeting my bundle of joy and being able to guide my baby through life and watch them grow from a new born right up to a happy adult!
Can’t wait to meet you little one 🙂
