Melissa's Best Mommy Moment

When my daughter was born, my husband brought my son into the room so he could be fee first visitor. He held her so close and smiled at her.
I then handed him a gift fom her. It was the two Power Rangers he had been wanting. He was so excited and then said "Oh mommy, does she really love me that much?". I knew they he great friends!

Courtney's Best Mommy Moment

My husband and I had been trying for almost a year to have a child, so I had lots of time to think of how I would tell him if and when it finally happened! So when the time actually came that I got a positive pregnancy test... I was snowed in at my in-law's house and my husband was out on call for his job!! I was DYYYYYYYING to tell him, but I wanted it to be in person, so I had to wait TWO whole days before I was able to see him!! When he came home I gave him a "congratulations" card, and told him that I had a gift for him, and and having no idea what the "congrats" was for, he opened the gift bag that had the test in it, and when he turned to me, I raised my shirt and had written on my tummy "You're going to be a daddy!" We both teared up and we hugged and kissed and celebrated! It was the most amazing moment. In that moment, he finally became a daddy, and I finally became a mommy. :)

Lilli's Best Mommy Moment

I am entering with the hopes of winning the shopping spree for my sister, Lacy, who is expected to deliver her baby boy on or around 9/10/10. I am already the mother to a fantastic daughter, Elise, who is 17mos old. There have been many fun, trying, and exciting moments that I've experienced as a Mommy, but this one still stands out as one of the funniest:

My funniest "Mommy moment" came shortly after I had given birth to my adorable baby girl. We were visiting my husband's mother, and were laughing about the challenge of diapering a baby boy versus a baby girl. My mother-in-law had both sexes (1 girl, 1 boy) and submitted that changing a baby boy was 10x harder than changing a baby girl. I laughed and had to agree because to that point, my daughter Elise had been a breeze. After a few minutes, the time came to change Elise's diaper, and my husband and I took her into the guest bedroom. She laid there like the sweet angel that she was, cooing and grinning at her Dad while I prepared to change her. As I pulled back the diaper, out shoots a spray of pee! I squealed and my husband started laughing as my mother-in-law ran into the room to see what the commotion was about. As I wiped myself off and prepared to trade out the now soaked diaper for the fresh one, the little doll then SHOOTS OUT poo, at a record-setting distance--all over herself, me, and the bed. I was in such shock that this occurred, and as a new and unexperience mommy, I didn't know what to do. My husband was of no help due to being in such a laughing fit he could barely breathe. I looked at my mother-in-law with horror and she looked back to me with a grin and sayed "well, I guess girls aren't as easy as I thought." Wasn't that the truth!?
