sometimes i look at my children and cant believe how lucky i am that they're mine

bathed my children earlier and my yougest was singing in the bath in his own little way and my eldest was sticking foam letters to the side of the bath and watching them just reminded me of how lucky i am to have them and no matter how naughty they are on occasions and how they've wound each other up all day, they're brothers and love each other like crazy and are most certainly loved by me.its the little things that i do with the kids and that they do that make me want to cuddle and kiss them and hold onto them forever.
if that sounds abit weird sorry, im hormonal at the moment,(see my other thread regarding no period on the pill)
its how i feel inside.i kiss them everynight when they're asleep in bed knowing that they're mine and how lucky i am to have them.
off to bed now as i was up alot last night watching ds2 as he was sick yesterday so im knackered.
thought id start this thread to see just how many people feel the same as me about their children (also sometimes there's not too many positive threads in this section)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I use the phrase 'my heart bleeds' way too many times a day to describe the searing pain in my heart when i look at the littles. I love the bigs just as much - especially when they go all sickly over the babies!

I don't think i ever realised how proud you could be of your children. My oldest two both play rugby for their respective A teams at school, and they are good looking, fab at their a their sport, and good sportsmen too - I do think i will one day burst with pride as I watch them, and then the way after the match when DS1 went over to the no 7 on the opposing (and losing) team, and shook hands and had a pleasant chat, and i think where did they get all this from?, not from his parents as we're fat, frumpy and often rather grumpy.

Dunnyjo · 25/09/2006 10:43

I too feel like this. My mum passed away suddely in Jan and it has been a complete emotional rollercoster with a new baby and 2yr old.
However without them i would never have got this far. they are who gets me up to face each day and make me smile/laugh and even cry i love them so dearly and i am so greatfull and proud of them too!

All these things are lovely and true... its something that friends without children just dont understand isnt it? i am still friends with many of my old mates who dont have kids yet, they ask me to come clubbing all the time, every new years' eve! i went last year and felt SO guilty at leaving my children with dh on such an exciting night.. my mates say "go on , do it again this year, the kids wont care or remember!" but i care! and i dont want to just dump them on my dh or my mum every night!

liquidclocks · 25/09/2006 11:04

What a great thread. I had my gooey monet yesterday as I watched DH read DS his bedtime story and just the look of adoration on DS's face as he looked at DH - I know it will pass and one day he'll tell us he must have been adopted but for the moment it's so great - I look and I think 'we made him' and feel so proud!

jabberwocky · 25/09/2006 11:09

Dh and I were just saying this yesterday as we watched ds ride his bike. He's 3 and oh-so-proud of himself (still with training wheels of course). He was riding around a little figure 8 course dh had set up for him and ringing the little bell on the bike handle. It was lovely.

MamaMaiasaura · 25/09/2006 11:16

What a lovely thread. I wish time didnt go by so fast, the hugs and love and pure honesty of my ds fills me with such deep happiness and satisfaction. I am so proud to be his mummy and would love to give him brothers and sisters one day.

Cant wait to collect him from school..

sandyballs · 25/09/2006 11:20

Lovely thread, I've been very "loved up" about my two this weekend, which I've been very pleased about as it's been a bit stressy in our house lately. DD went to see DH's old auntie in a home yesterday and when she came back I asked her what it was like and she looked very puzzled and replied "it was ok mummy but it was full of nanas"

welshmum · 25/09/2006 11:27

I seem to be having loads of moments recently. Ds is just a 'laughing boy', 16 months and so damn gorgeous and loving - can't believe my luck. He's been wandering around with his sister's Cinderella bag all morning as he's noticed we all have bags when we leave the house - bless him.
Dd is just fantastic too - it's her second week at school and she was sitting there this morning holding hands with her new best friend and I was so proud of her sunny sociable nature and her ability to make friends so easily.
I could go on and on - love them to bits.

Piffle · 25/09/2006 11:29

I feel exactly that way about my two
Dd is going through a divine phase she is 4 next month and has bene having a divine phase for oh about 4 years
She is just one of those kids.

maycontainstress · 25/09/2006 12:04

I quite often look at my twin ds and can't believe they're actually mine. They can be Class A Monkeys at times but most of the time they blow me away with their empathy and love. They try so hard with every aspect of their life and listen and understand.

Even seeing them wrestling on the floor in the front room, after the tenth time I've called them for dinner makes me have a little smile to myself.

When we were on holiday recently, they both went on one of those curly slides, the type you sit in a sack to go faster. They zoomed past me, faces blood red and hair sodden with sweat, they still managed "I love you mum" as they pelted up the stairs. Gulp.

kando · 25/09/2006 12:13

What a lovely thread! I often feel like this, especially at night when I go up to make sure they are OK. They make me feel very proud to be a mum, and I never thought it was possible to love three beautiful little girlies so much!

scoobytwo · 25/09/2006 14:28

i always feel like thati love my babies too

lukenjoesmummy · 25/09/2006 14:40

Totally agree. My whole life has collapsed around my ears in the last month, I've broken both my arms in an accident (plaster came off last week so can just about type again) my dad died, my dfs best mate and cousin have also died and now my relationship looks like its falling apart, but despite all this I look at my 2 little boys faces and think "who cares I've still got the most precious things in the world".

I love them to bits and feel like I can get through anything as long as I've got them.

robin3 · 25/09/2006 14:45

DS1 was a surprise and so I feel it's a miracle that he's here and thanks to this twist of fate that DS2 is now here as well.

Even though the past 2 and a half years have been full on, I still look at them both sometimes and it all seems surreal. Like I'm going to wake up and it's all going to be a dream.

amyjade · 25/09/2006 16:44

A Lovely thread. Treasure every minute with your precious children.

Although i only had Freya for 19 months she truly touched my life and although i'm suffering deeply now i wouldn't be without the memories and the love she gave me. She really was a gift from god, a beautiful, gentle little girl who left a mark on the lives of everyone who met her. I'm just so proud to call myself her mother.

While i'm writing this i'm looking at the face of my 15 month old Dd2 and the huge belly i have now have at 31 weeks pregnant and know that these children are my future never to replace my darling Freya but a reason for me to smile again,
and for that i am grateful.

Miriam2 · 25/09/2006 17:03

A lovely thread to read through at the end of a stressful Monday! My 2 are older than this but still luvverly. Ds (14) just came down from his room all cock-a-hoop cos he'd figured out something complicated on his computer. He was just ....fizzing with excitement! And dd is 10 and still loves a good old ticklefest on the settee if she's in the right mood! I love to see her laughing

any children we have can never replace the ones that we have lost but they can make us regain the feeling of how wonderful it is to be a parent and how special each child is in their own way
