@Kelsi I miss it so much now she is wanting to be on the move & explore things! I have baby fever when I already have a baby & I tell myself no no no lol! & maternity leave probably was the best time nobody bothering me abt work & I just got to spend my time being a mommy!
I truly miss it so much!
I keep asking my husband for another one so I completely understand! We agreed to wait until she hits 1 though
💀 I'm gonna be honest I only miss it a little. what sticks out the most for me from that time was sobbing next to my son's crib and begging God to let him sleep so I could, too. happened more than once. was so tired I cried every day. now he's a super happy baby and really interacts with me and shows his own personality! and only wakes up a couple times a night 😂
also. that is one cute and cozy baby
@Kelsi sometimes I tell myself if I want 2 under 2 or wait a little bit longer!
@Finn I understand not everyday was all sweet & innocent i remember one time my daughter & so stared at each other for hours til she fell asleep lol.
My baby slept well as a newborn but I love this phase way more! I’m totally seeing his little personality and he’s all smiles and giggles. He barely smiled under 2 months though lol
@Hokulani I turned 34 a few days ago so I feel that bio clock a ticking so we are going to try fairly soon. But I’m sure it will be wild up in here 😂
@Hanah N. Oh yes the personality coming out & then me realizing I made a mini me 😂!
@Kelsi her dad says that a 4 year age gap is good which him & his sister are 4 years apart & one of my sisters & I are 4 years apart BUT I feel like I would be sending her to school then starting all over lol! I am only 23 so I feel that I have some time but I want to be done having babies by 30!
I really hated the newborn phase… I had an emergency c-section and was in so much pain and so vulnerable about my body and it was hard to get up out of bed to attend my baby who needed me…. I cried so much cause I was missing out on all the fun newborn things. I couldn’t figure out breastfeeding cause my incision pain was so severe so that made me feel more of a failure as a new first time mom. Newborn phase was a dark time for me, and I’m sad I missed it all…. I’m dying to have another one so I can experience it again but idk when that will be. We go back and forth on when that will be. My bd and I are going through a lot rn like our relationship. Feels like we both can’t just catch a break.
@Hokulani you have plenty of time then! But I understand the feeling of starting over. My oldest is 13 lol my best friend has a 2.5 age gap and I think that is honestly perfect. They now play together and are best friends but only one in diapers!
@Kelsi omg yes you definitely started over lol! You’ll be dealing with a teenager & a toddler here soon!

@Maddie I am sorry to hear that! every child you have will be a different experience! I hope you’re experiencing a good phase with where she is now with the laughs & smiles & personality!
I miss it so so much my girl is almost 2 now and soo much has changed but we’re about to have another newborn soon which is exciting but it’ll be different to last time too being out second
@Hokulani thanks love! Oh yes, she’s about to be five months next week and I’m having so much fun with her. She is starting to show her a little personality and is babbling/talking all the time and just this week she started to show signs of wanting to crawl!!
It's really the easiest I think. Yeah they eat and poop every hour or couple hours but still easy. We traveled a lot when our first was a newborn, like I drove alone 10 hr straight once a week, staying at hotels for work. Nothing I could have done with a child 5mo+. About to have a newborn when out first turns 2 so I'm excited to do it again ❤️
I agree with you about it being a peaceful time. Honestly, my maternity leave was the best time of my life. We just snuggled all day every day. I miss it so much
