Things that make me feel like a good mommy...

• A sticky cheek at the end of the day.
• Having her formula measured out in the little container.
• The obstacle course of baby paraphernalia that is our home.
• Now knowing how to spell "paraphernalia."
  
• Cutting her fingernails without cutting her fingers.
• A neat basket of [clean] diapers.
• Hanging up her tiny clothes.
• My Facebook page that is a shrine to her cuteness.
  
• A stack of stained but clean bibs.
• Her good morning smiles with tear puddles still in her eyes.
• A giant container of nursery water that takes up a whole counter.
• A bottle drying rack and basket of bottles that takes up a whole counter.
• The aroma of baby shampoo that lingers in the bathroom.
• A good night's sleep.
• Losing count of the kisses I've given.
• Being the only one that can swaddle her just right.
• Speaking in third person now feels normal.
• My new confidence as a woman.
