Reasons I love being Logan's Mom
- The incredible feeling of true love that I have everyday.
- Knowing that I'm doing the best job that I possibly can.
- Dressing Logan up in cute clothes, because Lord knows I won't be able to do it when he's older. I'll be able to teach him about style though so he stays the good looking kid that he is.
- After feeding him in the morning, getting the biggest smiles he can possibly give me.
- Trying my hardest not to laugh at those smiles so I can get him changed & back to bed for some more much needed sleep.
- Often giving in, laughing & smiling back anyway, getting him worked up & loosing out on that sleep.
- Feeling the close connection between us when I feed him.
- Warm cuddles together.
- Talking to him & listening to him trying to "talk" back.
- Being able to sing all day & Logan getting a kick out of it.
- Watching him learn how to use his body when we do tummy time.
- Developing baby "work outs" for him (I think that's pretty cool).
- Reading to him, knowing that it's going to be a nice bedtime routine when he starts sleeping in his crib in his own room.
- Looking at how cute he is when he's sleeping peacefully.
- Looking at how cute he is when he's screaming...even though this is hard.
- Playing with him & his toys on the floor.
- Dancing around the house because it's the only thing that will keep him calm at the time.
- Laughing because he's looking for me when Bill is holding him or feeding him.
- Laughing & smiling about poop. Really, where else do you get to do this as an adult?
- Kissing his cheeks, hands & feet.
- Because life feels so much better now that he's here.
Yeah, that made me feel a lot better.

That's terible... I don't know what the judgements were but maybe they say more about the person who made them than they do about you?
It's pretty crappy. I found out that Bill's entire family never had faith or trust in my parenting skills. In a sigh of relief, wipping the sweat from their brows "they can stop worrying about her parenting skills". Exact quotes.
I'm very angry because those "crazy over protective" feelings I was having were really my gut telling me that my mother in law WAS trying to take over because she didn't trust me.
I hate this.
Ohmygosh! That's horrible!!! I can't believe they would say that! I've been reading your blog for quite a while and from what I can tell, you are an awesome mommy! I'm so sorry they said such a hurtful thing - and worse that they feel it!
I recently found out that Hubby was so worried about the pregnancy and thought I would need a c-section because his father, who is a doctor, told him that there is no way I was strong enough to carry or deliver a baby. I sure showed them!
My in-laws are questioning my parnting skills as well. My father-in-law is telling me that I'm making a huge mistake by not putting the baby in the nursery at night. Everytime I see them, he tells me that I need to be doing this or that - none of which I am ever doing. The last thing was that I should be supplementing breastmilk with vitamin D. I told him that I take her on daily walks and she gets vitamin D from being outside in the light. It's getting to the point where I don't want any of his advice! When he tells me that I'm making a mistake, I just tell him that I have to make my own mistakes.
