Thank you all!!! As I read the responses, they just made so much sense... I feel much better now.

I think everyone shows love in different ways. I think church lady was just trying to tell you to enjoy your baby and love on him. Don't get too caught up on her telling you to kiss him often. I don't think she meant it as a criticism of the amount of kissing you do. I think she was telling you to enjoy parenthood.

Oh yay! I was wondering what we would do when the new baby comes.

As far as I can tell, DD knows she's loved by her whole inner circle, which ranges from pretty kissy (me, when she lets me!) to occasionally kissy (DH, the aunts) to not at all kissy (Grandpa, our flatmate, my close friends).
