Motherhood Simplified

I was reading a blog today guest hosted by Cait+Create about motherhood. At the end they asked for comments about your favorite part of motherhood. The entire blog post left me a bit sentimental, but here is what I came up with as a comment, and I wanted to share it with you.

I loved being pregnant. It was truly wonderful. I wasn't sick often, so I know that I had a better experience than many. I had an easy, safe pregnancy, so I know I was blessed.

I loved feeling him kick and swim inside my belly. I still miss it, three years later.

I loved holding my newborn close to my heart. That was his favorite way to sleep until he was over a year old. He would climb in my lap and lay his head on my chest. I loved snuggling with my small boy. I miss that even more than the kicking.

Now that he's three, I love how smart he is and how he never stops talking. He remembers everything and is constantly telling me a story about something. He is so imaginative and just a wonderful child. 

The best part about motherhood is that no matter how much I miss the stage we've grown out of, the new one is just as good. 

I love being a mother.
