I got my first period pp....
I have somehow been very lucky as to not have to have a period for the first 10 months of my 2nd daughters life. However now that I have had it it feels like she is all grown up... idk how to explain it but it feels like she isn't my little baby. It doesn't help that she started crawling, pulling herself up, giving kisses, and other things all within the last month. It feels like she is a second away from cathing up to her big sister. I am like 85% sure she is my last so it's all bitter sweet. I feel crazy for feeling this way because with my 1st I was so happy for her to hit milestones and I still am. But when my 2nd does I just want to cry. I'm happy she is growing and learning but I hate it at the same time.
I was also planning on stopping EBF after 1 year but it breaks my heart thinking about it. I never got to with my first so I don't want it to end. But I have aloooot of extra milk frozen that I don't want to go bad. I know I don't have to stop but I feel pressured into it. Idk I just feel like a mess and like im not ready for little girls to be grown.

@Haley Rodgers I'm so glad I'm not alone. My mom makes me feel crazy for feeling this way.

I feel this. I feel like every time my daughter hits a milestone I feel so excited, but equally sad. It's almost like I am grieving her becoming less and less baby. I've cried about her first birthday coming up on numerous occasions. I ended up planning her a big party so I could get excited for it instead of being so sad about it. It's the oddest thing because of course you're happy your baby is happy and healthy and growing as she should but missing that baby baby stage hurts.
