We all know that motherhood can be insanely hard, but there are times when you feel like your heart is going to explode because it can’t hold that much love. So, in the face of those days when you feel like the walls are closing in on you, I want to remind you of these times of heart melting. Here are nine that make motherhood so rewarding.

The moment you hold your newborn in your arms for the first time, you realize that your heart is no longer yours. That first burst of love was so huge then, and yet now that you and your child are connected, it’s even bigger. And what is the most amazing thing? It will continue to grow. Not only does your bubba smell like the sweetest thing after his bath – being pampered with all those baby bath products and all – he also looks like a contented little caterpillar cocooned in his towel.

And to think that he was angry because he took a bath 10 minutes ago?! You could have a bad morning with your overtired toddler who refuses to sleep during the day, and yet when the battle for sleep is finally won and you sneak into his room to check on him, you can’t help but stop and accept him. view. With closed eyes and loose eyelashes, your peacefully sleeping cherub lies, and he has never looked so beautiful.
