Ok, ill go first.

When DS1 met DS2 for the first time he knew his duty was to sit for photos (he was 3yo). So we sat him on the bed and put a pillow on his lap, laid the newborn on his lap. DS1 sat for photos, kissed DS2 on the head, smiled some more then wiped the smile off his face and said seriously "Get it off". Then he jumped down and continued to break into my gifts and chocolates :laughing:

My son was very excieted when we came to know that we are going to have a brother for him.So one day i was packing his old clothes, he picked up his beautiful jacket and said- please don't pack it, when my new baby will come he will wear it. I was very happy and felt proud on my son's feelings....

[travelbugtoo]

We went camping on the weekend with Miss Three and told her she might have to learn to do a bush pee. At the end of the weekend she went to stay with Gran & Pop and when asked if she wanted to go to the toilet before heading to the park she informed them it wasn't needed as she could just do a bush pee. After a trip to the bathroom and walk to the park she told them proudly "See, I could easily do a bush pee here" It took a bit of explaining but I'm sure she kind of understands privacy issues and when and where this may need to occur

[mandashopeful]

Everyday my kids make me want to laugh and cry at the same time. Today my daughter dropped a whole carton of milk over the floor and as I was cleaning it up my son proceeded at add rice bubbles to it because thats what he felt like for breakfast!

[travelbugtoo]

My daughters favourite answer when asked a question seems to be "I can't know". It makes it very hard to have a conversation with her when this is about all you get, unless you want to discuss the Octonauts.

[insanity]

Being so hot yesterday i decided to leave DS on the rug with his nappy off for a few minutes, of cos the minute i put my hand under his bottom to put a nappy back on him was the moment he decided it was poo time! Wasn't pretty! :eek:

[LoveyDovey]

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my first, so my most memorable memory would be seeing those beautiful two lines on my HPT. I cant explain how it took my breath away and made me feel like the luckiest person alive.

[duckduckgoose]

I took a photo of DS and went to send it to my dad who lives interstate. My attention was focused on my phone for 3 seconds, when I turned around DS had the tube of nappy rash cream and had squirted it into his mouth. I felt like such a bad parent and called the poisons line - luckily they said it was harmless!

[becca022]

This morning my 3 year old told me she has puppies in her tummy and I have cats.

When DS looks at me and says mum-mum and the expression on his face takes my breath away every time

[Bubbalugs#2]

When my DS1 tells me I should cut my boobs off so he can wear them and therefore take DS2, who is breastfeeding to kindy with him :)

[kimmarie]

My 5 year daughter was not remotely interested in the fact I was having another baby (who is now 6 months old!). If it was not going to be a sister, she did not want to know....lucky for her it was another little girl, and she loves her to pieces, is always all over her, I am forever saying, "get off her!!" But much rather too much love, than her not liking having a sister at all! :)

[TeenyT]

My 4 yr old DD and I were out shopping and having mother daughter time. I needed a new bra so we were browsing the lingerie aisles at Target when DD suddenly lifts up my skirt and shouts "Look Mum, there's your undies over there!!!!". Unfortunately for me, I was wearing a G String that day.

Life with children is never dull!

[bubhub]

just bumping as this one has fallen off the New Posts list! Great prizes

[mum2ss]

When my 3 year old tells me she loves me so much and is going to marry me when she grows up :)

[travelbugtoo]

Had to clean off my 1 year old's face a moment ago as she had decided to lick clean the chocolate custard container her sister had. So I decided I might as well do head to toe so changed the napy, whilst I was putting the nappy in the bin she decided to squirt bepanthan into her eye (luckily she shut it in time) so she looked like she had a big white spot all around her eye. So cute but so ..... her.

[CupidsVictim]

after having the day from hell, my DD (nearly 6 months) was in her high chair ready for dinner.

DH was trying to put the tray on and suddenly the most enormous giggles were pouring out from my DD!!! (for the first time!)

days like that make it all worth it :)

Congratulations!

It would be so good to be able to box up every little smile or laugh or cute things babies do.. We forget little things like that so easily

[LoveyDovey]

The emotion I felt when I first saw my baby's heartbeat on the ultrasound screen. It completely blew me away and I knew then and there, that there was nothing on this earth that I loved more.

[Arielle3]

The first time i felt my baby kick was amazing. It made the pregnancy seem more real!

[CupidsVictim]

I was just looking after my 2 year old niece.. Her and my daughter (14 months) were playing with the dolls in the loungeroom while I was having a cuppa... Little Miss 14 months was being her usual 'annoying' self and stealing everything Miss 2 was playing with.
Miss 2 had just put the twin dolls in the pram and turned to get something else when Miss trouble ran up grabbed one of the dolls and ran off laughing... Miss 2 said "give it back" Little Miss Trouble kept laughing and giggling and so Miss 2 said in a very annoyied voice "Give It Back, It's NOT funny, I'm being SERIOUS"...

I had to stop myself from joining Little Miss Trouble in the laughing at that comment.

[happygrl]

DS who is 11 months has started helping me hang out the washing. He'll pick something out and hold it out for me to hang up.

So cute!:D

[ourbradybunch]

That my 15 yr old, the oldest of 4 kids is smart enough to not hang out with the stoners as her brother calls them;-)

[BHCommunity]

OurBradyBunch you're the next winner! Please could you PM me your name and address and I'll get one of the 'Truth About Babies' books sent to you :)

[IndigoJ]

A memorable moment from yesterday, I bought DS2 a Jellystone Owl teether to distract him from clawing at my boob while feeding. I tried it for the first time, i tried giving it to him, he thought i was giving him food so he tried to shove it in his mouth, but he was feeding, so i was laughing so hard watching him trying to feed and chew this owl at the same time. He didnt know which one he wanted :laughing:

A memorable moment from past few days is coop is asking me how i ate him as a baby to get in my tummy. He makes me close my mouth to show me its too small for me to eat him. He is dead serious about me eating him.

My son is growing up these days and he asks questions throughout the day. Sometimes when i am busy in my work i just say"we will ask dad about this".
To this my son replied one day "mumma you know lots of things but you don't know everything,for many things you have to ask dad".
I could not stop laughing at his answer.,....:)

[MrsBeee]

One of my most memorable moments is not a good one...
When DD was about 7 months she was just crawling, and putting everything in her mouth. One morning DH and I found her with the head and half the body of a dead house gecko in her mouth :barf: the cats must have killed it during the night and eaten some of it, and she found it. Still gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it :no:

[Mulva]

Seeing my 27 weeks gestation lil boy punching away at the sonographer during a 4d scan :-)

[Eleven Eleven]

DD puking all over the carpets in my uptight Aunty's house.

Memorable, not in a good way

[bressar]

DD is 13 months old, we were staying at nans and had just gotten out of the bath. I dried her off in the lounge and put her on the floor while i went to get a nappy.
She walked over & squatted to pick up a book and did a teething poo all over the brand new rug lol lucky nan has a sense of humour!!

[sunlight78]

listening to the heart beat at 6 weeks during my ultrasound was just amazing and excieting...

[anewme]

Today's memory is waking up this morning to my dd who just cut her foot oh the metal shelves beside my bed. Having blood spurt all over my bed, me and three other kids that were trying to squash in there. I never seen a bed empty so quickly.

[Arielle3]

Being with my kids and not taking it for granted is important. They grow up in a blink of an eye and are truly miracles.

[insanity]

DS put the cat in the toilet once.. I was following a wet trail through the house from the toilet and couldn't work out what it was from.. Until I found the cat lol

[Myztiks#1Fan]

Getting on the bus with our fav driver this morning, coop gave our local bus driver a big cuddle, kiss on the leg and a high 5. Our bus driver is awesome, coop will run beside the bus each afternoon yelling 'go slow pete, go slow' and pete will drive slow til he turns the corner.

But something I will never forget

[amazonbaby]

Seeing the big smile on DD2's (4months) face every time she sees DD1. She loves her to bits and gets really excited when DD1 talks and plays with her. :-)

[BHCommunity]

Hello Amazonbaby :) And congratulations! You're the next winner! PM your details and keep an eye out for the postman as he/she will be bringing you a copy of the Truth About Babies.

Back very, very soon...

[Skya]

Just the other day, my DD gave me her first kiss without me asking for one... Will remember this for a long time! :hugs:

[musicalmumma]

When my son met his sister he said "come on baby let's go in grandma's car to donalds (maccas)" it was so funny and sweet especially because he was serious :)

[mum2ss]

Turns out I gave birth to a cute little monkey not a little girl. Turned around the other day to find Miss 14 months standing ontop of the kitchen table! :eek: So I put the chairs ontop of the table so she couldn't climb up anymore, then she discovered she could push the dolls house over to the table and climb up ontop of that. Got to give her ingenuity and persistence! :laughing:

[Mechelle]

the disasters that little ones can concoct with in seconds of you leaving the room....lets see Mister Potato head drawn on wall, food dye on the tiles, oh yes that catalogue mummy was just reading moment ago shredding so thoughtfully. Yes they make you made and upset but later you laugh as you realise that the little one is getting so much more independent and creative.

The day I found out Dd2 had Cystic fibrosis. I was devistated but but 6 months on the sun is shining so to speak and she has finally gained weight. I just try to foccus on the small things

looking at my baby daughter for the first time, having chest to chest was truly an amazing moment!!!:)

[stacey gealy]

when my daughter was 3 she was so excited she was going to have a lil brother one day she asked me what he will look like when he comes out of my belly and what he will be wearing i told her he will come out but wont have any clothes on she ran off then 5 mins later returns with a pair of his booties she then put them under my top laughing i ask her what she was doing she sain she was giving him some shoes so his feet would be warm when he comes out :) was the cutest thing ever

[Arielle3]

when my 2 daughters give my son cuddles and kisses is so cute. They are little mummies and loving every moment!!!!

[Arielle3]

to get past loss is never easy, but falling pregnant again and hearing the babies heartbeat is just too special to put in words

[sunlight78]

My son listens to times tables= fun these days and asks questions to our friends who come to our house these days...

[Arielle3]

My youngest daughter is at the curiosity stage- gets into everything- makeup, food, clothes..........an important stage of development and I love her for it...despite making me crazy sometimes!

[IndigoJ]

Today we were driving to the shop, and DS1 looked out in the bay (we live on an island) and he saw some prawn trawlers with their nets out," oh my god, look at the aeroplane boats mummy" I love the things he comes up with.

Spending 45mins outside with DS for some nappy-free time with him "pointing" towards the garden in case of a wee. Nothing happened until I took him inside and turned around for a split second to get a nappy. The wee reached the wall on the other side of the room!

[sunlight78]

Now my son loves to tear lettuce leaves for salad and can chop up cucumber and tomato with butter knife.He is a big help for me these days..i love watching him grow....

[Californication]

One memorable moment was the other night. 2yo DS decided the food on my plate looked better than the exact same thing on his, so he was stealing from my plate.

But then he took it one step further and stole the food out of DH's mouth! Then he decided that he didn't like how it tasted, so took it from his mouth and shoved it back into DH's mouth.

What a lovely fine dining experience :p

[sunlight78]

Watching kids Make new friends at kinder and at playground is lots of fun to watch...

[Arielle3]

Having cleaned my daughter's room spotless to only continuously look like a bomb has hit it drives me insane- but it all in the job of mother I guess. I love her dearly :wave:

[Luna Lovegood]

Asking DD to clean her room and her being so stubborn she would rather sit in her room for 2 days doing nothing, than clean it for 10 minutes. I've never met a more stubborn person. I eventually told her I was going to a tea party at Grandad's house and only girls with clean rooms could come...she clean it pretty quick after that :laughing:

[sunlight78]

Life has changed so much after kids. Earlier i use to sleep non stop throughout the night but now i can not even think of sleeping like that. I have to get up twice at night...

[babybabycakes]

When DH leaves for work 23 month old DS needs to kiss kiss him through the car window and have a 'drive' of the steering wheel. He yells out kiss kiss until DH rolls down the window. If DH is in a hurry and it gets skipped - DS gets inside, climbs up on a chair to try and get the phone to call to call DH a daddy naughty no kiss boy. :D

And when he wants a breastfeed " mummy milks peas. Milks for archie good boy". when hes about to start his feed ( hes only fed on one side for the last 18 months ) he needs to peek at both boobs, give them a pat then choose " bigga yum one" ( mum knows its bigger buddy- shewants them a little more even- but hard not to laugh.

Hearing my 5 month old giggle out loud for the first time because my toddler was making funny faces :)

Just got my 10 month old son into his clean fresh pj's after his bath and he proceeded to vomit all over himself and me, requiring me to strip off and give him a 2nd bath to get rid of the smell!

[Cluky79]

While still in hospital after giving birth to DS there was a nurse my DH wasnt too fond of, one day I went out to fill up my bottle of water on my return DH said to me with such delight 'he just pee'd all over the nurse', just goes to show that my DS had the same thoughts as his daddy cause he has never pee'd on anyone else

[Penny88]

My DS first smile that was just for me (and not wind)!

about 10 minutes ago, when DS came up to me and gave me a kiss and cuddle without any prompt (even if the kiss was more of a lick :laughing:)

When daily my gorgeous little boy tells me, "I LOVE YOU MUMMY" almost on the hour all day. It truly lights up my face with glee, and we then share a cuddle of contentment. :hugs:

listening through the door (yes naughty mummy) as your dd has her uni interview. Hearing her say that we have taught so many things but most importantly that we have taught her to be herself and to trust her instincts.

[Luna Lovegood]

My DH kind of loves to tease my DD. He asks her for a kiss and she runs over with her lips puckered, and he puckers his lips then places one things across his lips. She pulls and tugs at his finger sooking that; "Daddy locked my kiss"...

[Skya]

Many memorable nightfeeds together... It was great to have some quiet time together, enjoying each other's company :-)

When I see my two young boys playing happily together on the floor, these are the times, I just want to sing for joy at the fact that they are creating great bonding moments of brotherly friendship. It makes me divinely HAPPY! :smiliedance:

[travelbugtoo]

Listening to my 3 year old tell me all about the day she spent with Gran and Pop over the phone (as she was having a sleepover with them) and not being able to understand a word as she was talking so quickly to try to tell me everything all at once

[insanity]

My kids running in the door every afternoon with their mouths going a million miles an hour telling me all about their day.. the only problem is they both try to do it at once and then get in to arguments over who was talking to me first!

[LizzardLover]

mine would be having the "Sex" talk with my 9 year old daughter and her looking at me wide eyed and saying "OMG Eeeewww!!! So the guys STUFF goes inside you??? (refering to sperm)" and i said "yep" and she said "oh thats SO gross mum". :freakingout:

[LizzardLover]

oh and explaining to DD how Aunty C and Aunty R and having a baby together. "but mum..... they can't have s3x?" and explaining IVF etc... she they said "oh that sounds MUCH better than doing it the OTHER way you told me about" LOL ;)

When my DD (3.5) plays with and tickles her little brother (8 months) and he laughs like crazy. He looks at her like the sun shines out of her. It melts my heart every time.

[mum2ss]

That's ok BHcom :goodvibes: - I still have a truck load of moments I could share!
Like the time my 3yr old told my hubby that he had to stop talking so loud so she could concentrate on her colouring in. She said it so seriously I just burst out laughing.

[stacey gealy]

her sisters and brother were super excited yet they were to scared to touch her as she was to tiny :)

I love when Jasper has random thoughtful moments. He'll offer up a treat to share. Or he accidentally jumped on my foot he got me an ice pack and wrapped it in a tea towel and put it on my foot. <3 or when he offers up a toy to another child or his favorite 'digger' at the park he declared 'YOUR TURN!' to another kid. :goodvibes:

In the night garden is one thing that my son loves to watch every evening..i don't know how can kids watch same episode again and again daily..

[IndigoJ]

I find it funny that i can sit in front of DS2 and make funny faces, laugh, try everything under the sun to make him laugh but to no avail. Then DS1just walks in front of him, spins around and drops to the ground and DS2 will give him the most heartwarming laughs. :babydust1:

The first time my DS opened his eyes and focussed on me, his first look at his mummy!

A memorable moment :( DS2 fell off the bed today. He was in the middle, i was right there but he did three quick rolls and landed before i could catch him. He has a scratch now too. I feel like such a bad mummy, its something i will remember forever.

[Arielle3]

My son is learning every day......exploring, rolling, smiling, eating different foods.....it's great to watch....he's growing up so fast. Too fast!

[Californication]

:hugs: IndigoJ.

[Arielle3]

IndigoJ I totally know how you feel. My son rolled off the bed yesterday. Unbelievable. They are so fast and hard to catch. I felt like a bad mother. You can't turn your back for a second. Definatly an unforgettable moment.

[stacey gealy]

Love the first time my baby girl looked in the mirror was so funny she didnt know what to do she was kissing herself after 5 mins so so cute

[SassyMummy]

Perhaps the funniest moment in recent times was DD coming out of her room, aged 4 or 5, and telling me she'd pooed on her floor when she was supposed to be getting dressed. She was going through a "I'm just tricking!" stage so I laughed and thought she was lying... but no, she wasn't.

She was really embarrassed and wouldn't tell us why she pooed on the floor rather than using the toilet it.

As it turned out, she'd "disqualified," herself when squatting down drying herself off... instead of a fart, out came a little poo.

We make jokes about it all the time now... whenever she needs to use the toilet and it's not vacant, we tell her to go use her floor to tease her... :p

My hubby talking to my pregnant belly when I was just starting to feel some kicks and he was trying to feel them, then bubs did an almighty kick right under his hand. It meant so much to his/her daddy.

[stacey gealy]

for indigoj i think we have all gone through something like that kids are quick lol all you can do is try to keep them safe but the end of the day they will hurt themself weather your there or not :(

[sunlight78]

Taking out clean utensils from dishwasher is one thing my son is obsessed with these days..

[stacey gealy]

my daughter is always trying to cook the other day she had corn flower, eggs food colouring, butter and water trying to make a cake lol so i went and brought a cake mix so we can make one its so cute watching her licking the bowl reminds me of when i was a child

[naebie]

Memorable moment # 1- Carrying DD to an appointment at 8 days old, next thing you know I've got a big mustard coloured splodge on my white shirt! That was the day I realised the importance of spare clothes for mum in addition to spare clothes for bub :)

[sunlight78]

Wiggles are the ones that we play in our car since the time my son has started talking...:)

[sunlight78]

We even went to see dorothy the dinosour show for my son...:)

[stacey gealy]

[Arielle3]

Special message for IndigoJ. I hope everything is Ok now. Thinking of you.

[naebie]

I have to contradict myself, my most memorable moment was when DD came out my v.agina and tore me from woah to go. 3 years on and that memory is burned into my brain (and my perineum) for EVER

[Chocolate All Gone Now]

oh come on, this is getting ridiculous :rolleyes:

Oh come on FL join their party ;)

[FearlessLeader]

my son coughed today. I'll never forget it.

[sunlight78]

This is fun....

[leanne68]

the first smile my lil girl gave to me :)

[sunlight78]

We sometimes worry what the future holds for our children, what will they become as adults - what is important is what they are right now, not yesterday and not tomorrow.

[the girls mum]

oh god I am almost wetting my pants laughing - I honestly dont get this. I know its meant to be memorable moments but why are people just posting everyday stuff? Or is the the point??? Cause if so Munchie ate scrambled eggs for dinner!

[sunlight78]

kids learn most of the things by watching their parents...

[leanne68]

[Evelyn84]

The first time my son laughed. It was during feeding and at the time, it creepds me out because I wasn't expecting it. But it was amazing.

[FallenAngel14]

One of my most memorable moments when DS was 2, was the time he threw up on the carpet after eating chicken for dinner and remarked "Oops, i've spilt my chicken". One of those moments when you can't help but laugh...

[Luna Lovegood]

Last night DH was away, and DD slept next to me snuggled up...she woke me up this morning with her hand on my face and told me she loved me and gave me a kiss...best morning ever...:goodvibes:

[leanne68]

[Mulva]

[Arielle3]

DD2 was a terrible sleeper. I needed to seek assistance which made a huge difference. I learned so much and am still learning every day.

[babyspice]

when my son tells me "can you buy me a brother at the shops?"

[Guest1234]

Yesterday, the girls and I went to a play centre with a lovely hubber, and when we came home (she lives down the road) we went to her house for a little bit. Then DD2 got a bit tired so I said to DD1 we were going to go home so DD2 could have a sleep. The lovely hubber offered for DD1 to stay while DD2 had a nap (Thanks so much again hun, meant a lot :bee:) When I arrived back to pick DD1 up, she didn't want to come home with me and said to me "You can go home again and I will stay here".

This is the little girl that wouldn't usually leave my side..naaw she is growing up!!

[Lemmings]

so thats how you get your way on bh lol post incessantly until someone has enough

[mum2ss]

When I went to the hospital for an antenatal visit with bub no 2 and came home my daughter wanted to know where her baby was because I told her I had to go to the hospital to have the baby and I was just at the hospital so I should have bought a baby home with me :laughing:

[anewme]

When my DS was born I rang home to tell DD (14yrs) as I had promised i would tell her first. I told her he was a boy and she simply said "put IT back" and hung up. :laughing: She really wanted a another sister. Now they are the closest of all the kids.

[babyspice]

when we are at the shops and my son asks me 'do you want coffee, mummy?? you have coffee and i have babycino" ♥♥♥

[*Cj*]

When I walked in to see DS (about 12 months) with the biggest smile on his face standing in the fish tank with fish swimming between his legs.

It wasn't so cute and funny back then but it is now :D

[Atropos]

When DD:cheerleader1: was 5, we were walking down our street after a day at kindergarten when she said "Mum, I understand boys have doodles down there, by why is what GIRLS have CHINESE??" I was so confused! After a bit of questioning, she clarified- "You know :yes:(pointing down) girls have a FOR-CHINA!!" Such a funny kid! <3 :laughing::laughing:

[*Cj*]

20 pooey nappies in a day, day after day will never forget that. :eek:

[Sunflower5]

When I see my two young sons playing together nicely on the floor, it brings such happiness to me and fills me with JOY! Their such a blessing from above. :yes:

[Skya]

My DD's first word... It was actually dada and not mama! Found out later my DH had been secretly practising with her ;)

[dale78]

My DS first laugh he is 12 weeks and everytime he laughs out loud still makes me smile!

[Myztiks#1Fan]

My DS first laugh he is 12 weeks and everytime he laughs out loud still makes me smile!

Makes me remember the first belly laugh i heard from coop. Mum got a new phone and we were playing around with ring tones and every time we played a certain one, coop would laugh so much.

Sent from my GT-I9000T using Bubhub

[Sunflower5]

When times are down and I'm feeling sick, I thank God above for my wonderful kids. When ever I haven't felt 100 % they do their very best to make me feel comfortable and bring a smile to my face. :)

[Arielle3]

After 2 girls and not knowing the sex of our third, it was amazing to finally meet our newest addition; our little man. Daddy was quite impressed.

[musicalmumma]

when my son told me "I love daddy, he's my best friend" such love.

[RoarsomeMum]

When she crawled naked out the front window and started eating the bird seed off the lawn, when She jammed her sleep toy into teh body of a dead crow, when she dumped half a bag of fizzers into our fish tank.. Oh 2.. the best year EVER!!!!!!!

[Arielle3]

Every day is a memorable moment with my beautiful babies. They teach me something new everyday.

[leanne68]

[Sunflower5]

A moment for me was when my little boy was toilet training and we had people over for a BBQ and he came out to the verandah and bent over and yelled is my bum clean? Did I do a good job Mummy. I nearly died of embarrassment, but everyone laughed! LOL :laughing:

[IndigoJ]

One of my most memorable moments when DS was 2, was the time he threw up on the carpet after eating chicken for dinner and remarked "Oops, i've spilt my chicken". One of those moments when you can't help but laugh...

:laughing::laughing::laughing:Now this is something worth writing about. Thank you for sharing :highfive:

[IndigoJ]

I love DS1s memory, he was going through his undies looking for a pair to wear and he says "I wore these last night when we went to see the big dump trucks hey mummy" . We had gone on a tour of the local mine 3mths ago and he remembered what undies he wore that day.

[Arielle3]

My DDs love to dress up no matter what the weather. They could be at the snow and still want to dress up in their fairy costumes. Lately, the weather has become warmer and DD2 wants to wear snow gear!!! :no:

[Luna Lovegood]

DD and I went out to dinner together last week and she told me she loved having special girls time alone. Was very sweet :yes:

[leanne68]

hi hun just wondering if you got my message :)

[Arielle3]

Just went to the park- all the girls like doing is going on the swings. Should just invest in a swing set at home!!!:yes:

[Sunflower5]

My son brought me in a beautiful picture he coloured in and said this is for you Mum, because I LOVE you SOOOO
much! Awwww. :-)

[Arielle3]

Still breastfeeding and loving every moment. Special bonding time with DS. I'm very lucky to have the ability to do it. :BFing:

[anewme]

I just wanted to say that i loved reading this thread it has been the best comp ever on the hub.
It has made remember such wonderful times i have had with my kids over the last 18 years.
From the first time i saw dd1, to feeding her while i had the chicken pox, to her first steps, first words, first kid kiss, her first day at school, to the first time she ever saw her brothers and sisters, her first school dance and her doing her hcs and to lately picking her prom dress and applying for uni.
And that just one child and only a few memories

[insanity]

I totally agree loving! My eldest is 18 and started Uni this year.. I'm just so glad i am getting to experience all the first's all over again. I never thought i would!

I can't say i love waking in the middle of the night for feeds but i wouldn't give up those squishy cuddles and sweet smiles while i'm doing that feed for anything!

[Arielle3]

Beautiful words everyone!! They are miracles. It took me a while to fall pregnant which was really hard, but when I found out I was pregnant was one of the best days of my life. Truely amazing. First time I saw and heard the heartbeating, the first kick, and first moment in my arms. Something that will always be in my heart and mind forever!!:)
