It's unconditional. It's stronger every day. It's changing poopy diapers one after the other. It's being peed on. It's being needed. It's stressful and yet soo easy.
It's loving your husband more each day. Watching him hold your son, kiss him, nap with him, feed him. The pic above is me looking at my husband after seeing our son for the first time. I tear up when I see it - it speaks volumes about how Motherhood makes me love him more.
Motherhood is being proud. It's being terrified everyday that something is wrong, or will happen. It's wanting to protect him from all harm at all costs.
Motherhood is the "mom smell" I now have from all the breast milk that has leaked and dried up on me. It's the pain I go through when breastfeeding and how rewarding it is. It's the sweet looks he gives me, and only me, his mom.
It's being exhausted. It's never ending. It's the best and most rewarding thing in the world. Motherhood is my job and what I will always be doing. I am a mother now and forever and I love it.Head over to Seven Clown Circus for Wordful Wednesday to tell everyone what Motherhood is to you.

Awwww....sweet sweet pictures. Made me teary-eyed too - but I'm pregnant, so I'm emotional like that. Welcome to mommyhood sister. It's the best journey of your life. ;)
Aw, those are great pictures.
I am very impressed that you have stuck to breast feeding. I do not have kids yet, but all of my friends who do did not give breast feeding a real chance. My mom always tells me I better!
I can't wait to experience your feelings!
.... speaking of tearing up....
So sweet! You totally got me going!
This is absolutely beautiful.......beautiful.
Soooooooo cute!!!! I love reading your updates, it makes me soooo excited to meet my son!
