Motherhood

I absolutely love being a mother!  Nothing is more important to me than being with my kids every single day, even if the majority of the day they are the only ones I have to talk to!  When you talk to nothing but babies each day you start talking in this baby language. Then you get around adults and start talking to them like one of your kids and it's just not pretty!

BUT motherhood is most definitely the best job I have ever had!

And it's an absolutely awesome feeling when you get credit for all the work you do.  Mom's do everything for their kids without asking for anything in return and usually you don't get much when your kids are young like mine.  So when your son turns to you out of nowhere and says "Mommy you're my princess and my best friend!" all the fits, temper tantrums, and fights over picking up legos all become worth it!

 It feels even better when your husband recognizes how hard you work, especially when it's just an ordinary day!

Today I had a dentist appointment very early in the morning.  My husband told me that because he was going to stay home with the kids while I went to my appointment, that he would do most of Ava's feedings during the night (she eats every two hours :/).  So around 3 in the morning I could tell he just wasn't going to make it so I took over the feedings, later got ready and went to my appointment.  I came home a little before noon and my husband just look absolutely drained!  And as he was leaving to go back to work he turned and said "I don't know how you do it, you're like a damn super hero!"  Big smile!  Sometimes that's all I need.  He does appreciate me!  He has never said otherwise but sometimes when he comes home tracking dirt everywhere or when he leaves his dishes in the sink, I can feel less than appreciated though I know that's never his intentions! 

It's always nice to hear your family needs you even if you would do it all for them anyways!
