I Love...

I love waking in the morning before the alarm goes off.

I love when Smug-Baby latches on in the night and the sound of her hungry sucking and swallowing, Gulp, Gulp, Gulp.

I love the feeling of my aching, full breast releasing as she empties it.

I love being in between the two loves of my life. Smug-Hub on one side, a big paw tossed over my waist. Smug-Baby on the other side, tucked under my arm, a small, soft paw tossed onto my chest.

I love being able to scoot out of bed without waking either of them.

I love a really super hot shower early in the morning.

I love how calm and quiet and dark the house is when I'm the only one awake.

I love opening the fridge and seeing my breakfasts and lunches all ready to go waiting for me.

I love kissing my family good-bye and watching their faces softened by sleep and hear their soft sleeping breathing.

I love seeing the moon and stars when I walk outside.

I love hearing a really good song on the radio and driving to work with the sound blasting.

I love that the hours at work pass quickly and before I know it, I am looking outside to see that my family is waiting patiently for me.

I love seeing my daughter wiggle and giggle when she sees me coming.

I love walking into Smug-Sisters house and seeing Smug-Niece look up, grin her toothy grin and give me her signature growl laugh that lets me know she is happy to see us.

I love that I spend a lot of my day playing with happy babies.

I love eating a good, hearty, healthy lunch and feeling full and satisfied.

I love taking the girls for a ride in the car and they both fall asleep and I park and read while listening to their breathing.

I love driving home at the end of the day.

I love making a nice dinner for my family.

I love trying a new recipe and finding it is wonderful.

I love watching Smug-Baby when she hears the garage door opening. This is the signal that daddy is home and she is most anxious to get into his arms.

I love the hug and kiss my husband gives me when he first gets home.

I love getting ready for bed. Smug-Baby hangs onto my back (with daddy's help) and watches my every move as I brush my teeth and wash my face. Then we repeat the tooth brushing and face washing on her.

I love when she gives me kisses unprompted.

I love when she rubs her face into my chest to let me know she is tired and wants Binky's.

I love the feel of her little body as she gives in to sleep and relaxes completely.

I love crawling into clean, cool sheets with her warm body next to mine, while Smug-Hub pulls the covers over us, kisses me good night, and tells me how lucky he feels to have she and I as his family.

I love hearing her soft breathing and feeling her occasional sleep-sucking as I drift into sleep.

I love my life.
