Being a mom is literally the best part of my life ❤️

Enjoy every little hug 🤗

What have you done all day?

I'm filling bellies, hearts, and minds
I'm future-shaping

I'm washing dishes, clothes, and faces
Keeping it all going

I'm breathing life into tasks
That are really quite boring

I'm slowly falling in love
I'm neuron-building

Mind going ten to the dozen
Anticipating

I'm reppin 14 extra pounds
Bone-aching

I'm conjuring every single sleep
I am frankly done in

I'm living between rooms
Sleepwalking

I'm singing songs
I'm sounding out
I'm fred talk-ing

I'm cutting hair and nails and corners
Streamlining

I'm hanging on by a thread
Almost disappearing

I am the household worry doll
Mood-absorbing

I'm regulating little bodies
By virtue of my skin

I'm tracking temperatures and rashes
A whole heap of worrying

And I must make it look like nothing
But this is really quite something

So I'll secretly smile
Ignore your line of questioning

I'm collecting cuddles, sticks, and giggles
Memory-banking

I'm sneaking peeks at my beautiful babies
Letting it all sink in

Because
It's this
Seemingly this
Shockingly, this
Obviously, this
..that I will miss
