20 Baby Planning Quotes That Capture the Magic

This post shows you the 20 Baby Planning Quotes That Capture the Magic of This Life-Changing Moment.

I remember the first time I thought to myself that I wanted to become a mom and have a baby.

I was sitting at this exact spot (where I’m writing this blog post), and I remember it was sunny and warm outside. It was spring or early summer, and the heat was coming through the windows in my apartment on the 6th floor.

That was nothing compared to the warm feeling in my stomach when I first thought about my baby. I texted my husband while he was at work, told him that I was daydreaming about our future baby, and he immediately replied, “I don’t know why or how, but I feel really warm on the inside!“

Can you imagine? We both had the same feeling. Feeling warm, almost like our hearts were melting. That’s when I started capturing and collecting baby planning quotes. Today, I’m sharing them with you!

4. “A baby fills a place in your heart that you never knew was empty.” — Unknown

5. “You get to relive your childhood when you have a baby and you see these toys and these books you read when you were little – the innocence that you are able to maintain because you have to find that again in order to connect with your child keeps you in a special state of mind.” — Idina Menzel

6. “Sometimes, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” — A.A. Milne

13. “Children were meant to be gifts. The physical manifestation of love between [two people]. And for that love all manner of sacrifice could be borne.” ― Steven Erikson

14. “One thing about having a baby is that each step of the way you simply cannot imagine loving him any more than you already do, because you are bursting with love, loving as much as you are humanly capable of—and then you do, you love him even more.” — Anne Lamott (Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son’s First Year)

15. “How you approach birth is intimately connected with how you approach life.” — William Sears (The Pregnancy Book: Month-by-Month, Everything You Need to Know From America’s Baby Experts)

16. “All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood — all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience.” — Penelope Cruz
