My daughter is turning one and I’m not okay.

Hi, looking for some mom coping mechanisms for myself. My daughter turns one in about 2 1/2 weeks and I am utterly distraught. I didn’t think I would take it so hard but every time I think about it I’m in tears. She just started walking too so I’ve been very emotional about her being more independent. Can you guys tell me how you coped and maybe words of encouragement cause right now I feel like my whole world is ending 🥲🥲🥲

Aw happy early birthday to her 🩷 my daughter turned one on the 3rd, and I felt like you feel now… but since she turned one, now the real fun has started 🥹 she’s almost walking, says words like hi, bye, claps and waves and truly becoming her own person with her own personality 🥹 It’s her FIRST birthday, something so special to be excited about , just remember that! 🩷🩷

Those emotions will forever be there trust me I have 3 and I look back and I’m like I miss those times and you start seeing them lose the baby face yeah it gets real with emotions.. but they are growing up and into their own people that in itself is a blessing to be able to watch them grow and flourish.. try to see it in a more positive light.. trust me I totally get the feeling I was laying down with my son last night and he’s 2 I’m like one day he’ll be too big to want to lay next to mommy. You just have to cherish every little moment and take lots of pictures! Hope that helps.

Sounds like a good therapy item tbh, try to figure out why you need a baby so badly, your daughter is still right there with you and developing an even deeper relationship with you as you have more experiences together and she can reciprocate even more, she hasn't lost any value getting older ❤️ she will still need you for her whole lifetime.

Omg first off my daughter’s name is Elena too🫶🏼 When she turned 1 was in tears because I knew she wasn’t gonna be a baby forever and it was so scary. Being able to be there and watch her grow and learn is such a rewarding feeling too It’s such a bittersweet experience the feeling of being so proud of all she can accomplish! She’ll always be your baby ❤️

Thank you ladies! It means a lot so much. It’s just so crazy to comprehend how quickly this time passed and like the only proof that it even happened is the photo gallery in my phone. Thank you for reminding me that she will always need mom through it all ✨
