So about 8 months ago I started working with my Professor as an undergrad research assistant in her lab. I graduated in May but discovered my passion for research and decided to stay in her lab. She has agreed to let me stay in the lab as long as I want and has basically been my mentor for the last 8 months. She has been guiding me through preparing to apply to graduate school and even helping with my personal life. She thinks very highly of me and my skills in the lab. 

We've become pretty close over the last 8 months and especially during the summer since we were the only two in the lab all summer. We've gone out to get lunch together, she's taken me to visit a nearby school I am applying to, and I've even met her family. She knows I have some self-esteem and confidence issues and has been very supportive of me all along. Right now we are working on my applications to graduate school but I think I am starting to have feelings for her. 

I know I can't possibly have a romantic relationship with her. She is married to a husband whom she loves very much and has a toddler at home. But I can't stop thinking about her when I'm not around her and whenever I see her or am with her I get this feeling. Its at the point where she occupies my thoughts all the time. I just don't know what to do. I know there can't be anything between us but I don't know how to get rid of these feelings and keep her as my mentor.

I got close to my Professor/Mentor in the last 8 months, and now I think I could be falling for her.
