do you know what I mean?

Recently I've been sad to read about all the problems some of our sisterhood have been having so I thought I'd write about a happy feeling :)

I've been having a hard time of late and things just haven't been going our way but last night my perfect sweet little boy climbed into our bed and snuggled up to me and as I laid there cuddling my angel feeling his warmth and listening to the sound of his measured breathing I was overwhelmed with a feeling that transcends love. It's a feeling I can't name but I can guarantee every mother has felt it and knows exactly what I'm talking about.

That little miracle of mine that I made and carried and nurtured is growing into a spectacular kind smart amazing little boy and my heart feels like it will just burst. I'm sad that he'll never be the tiny little baby I cradled but at the same time I am so proud of how he is growing up.

No matter how bad a day I have, no matter how tired I am and regardless of how bad things get, in the wee hours of the morning when he climbs in next to me and snuggles up I feel peace and calm and like I have a purpose on this earth.

I never wanted to be a mum when I was younger but he came into our lives and has made me so much richer and happier then I ever thought possible.

I didn't think I'd ever love my husband more then I do but whenever I see them together I fall more in love. When I hear my son's laughter I can't help but laugh and when he cries I want to cry with him. When he's sick or hurt I feel so helpless but I'd move heaven and earth if that's what it took to make him better.

Being a mum is the most important privilege no matter what other crap is going on. Hug your babies it'll make the world pause the noise disappear and nothing will seem so bad.

Look after yourselves mummies because your babies need you xox
