Do you relate…

This may sound completely bizarre, and/or some of you may relate (I hope). Do any of you get emotional at the thought of your babies getting older? I do. Even though our little ones are only 8/9 months old 🥲 If I am feeling this way now, what will I feel when baby is 2, 3, etc? I feel envious when I see pregnancy announcements, sometimes I find it hard seeing newborns in public, even though I must add I personally am definitely not ready for another baby!! I put this down to maybe wanting to cling on to the early months of baby’s life? What are your thoughts/opinions? On the other hand, I’m loving this stage of baby’s life. It’s so exciting seeing the milestones and seeing the little personality develop 😍

Yes! It’s so bittersweet being a mum I’ve realised. You can’t stop time and they will never be this little again. I am sure I’ll have massive nostalgia as she ages.

Absolutely ❤️

Time is a thief ❤️🥲

All the time I saw a video the other day saying what's the best part about being a mum, (answer) watching your kids grow up. What's the worst part about being a mum ( answer) watching your kids grow up. And I sat here bauling like a baby with my son fast asleep in my arms because it's so true I love watching him grow and become his own little person and try new foods and learn new things and then I'm like where did my baby boy go, he dosent seem to have been small for very long and it just breaks me some days it really does xx

I wouldn’t want her to be newborn or another earlier age as such because I love her personality that you can see more now but I want time to slow down a bit! But if I was able to relive it all with mindset I have now, I would!

I didn't expect to feel this way because I found the newborn days incredibly difficult and I love it now that she has such a little personality but my cousin had a baby 3 days ago and I'm sitting here scrolling photos of my baby and feeling so sad and jealous(?) of all the things they have coming, and also like it's all gone too fast and I don't even remember her being that little, all I remember is how stressed and miserable I was and that makes me sad. I'm not sure I'll have another baby either so there's also the feeling of I'll never have {insert milestone moment here} again, and that makes me weirdly sad. It's a lot.

These comments made me a bit emotional 🥹 I agree with that if I could relive it with my current mindset then I would! I feel like newborn stage is hard because you’re a new mum and learning with baby, yet with the older months comes other challenges! I guess that’s just motherhood though 😊

@Sophie I would be the same 🥲 Just think of them growing up together and how amazing that will be - born in the same year and just 8 months apart! Also don’t forget about the many things you and your little one have to come. I think we see our babies as so big because we’ve seen them from such a small size. But in reality they’ve got forever ahead of them 🥰
