Mommy Hands

I have always looked at women who have children and noticed how they had great "mommy hands". In my head I created this world where "mommy hands" was a thing. They looked soft and gentle; so perfect for loving on a baby, ideal at caring for a child. 

So when I got pregnant with my son I thought... "I don't have mommy hands". I honestly questioned what my mommying abilities would be like because I was unsure if I had the right type of hands.

(Silly I know)

 

 Now I look at my hands and I'm 100% sure they are Mommy hands and here's why. 

1.They have calmed my crying baby by rubbing his back

2.They have tickled my one year old just so I could hear that amazing belly laugh

3.They have made food to nourish my sons body

4.They have changed MANY unspeakable diapers and preformed many bath time rituals to keep my son clean. 

5.They have played with many toys and held many books to help my baby learn. 

So as strange as it's sounds to say I think I've earned my 'mommy hands" and I do truly believe they are still a thing. 

I'd love to hear what you think. :D
