I'm having a really hard time letting the pre-1 year old phase go.
My husband thinks I'm straight crazy and maybe I am.
But I miss the baby phase already and it's still here.
Lola just turned one and I know she is still a baby in a lot of ways.
But she doesn't need me like she used to.
Today she was feeding herself with a spoon - a spoon I tell ya!
I miss a newborn.
I miss a little rolly polly baby who lays relatively still when you change their bums.
I miss breastfeeding. a lot.
I miss having a baby baby.
It has been on my mind a lot.
It makes me cry missing a baby.
Longing for another baby when I have a baby.
Wow okay maybe Nick was right I am straight up crazy.
But I know I can't be the only one.
I'm gonna do something I have never asked for before,
but will you - whoever you are out there - comment me if you have felt the same?
So I don't feel SO alone and balls to the wall crazy?
:)

I had that same feeling when London was about 6 months old. They grow so fast in the first year and I think that makes us mama's freak out a little.
The whole time Oliver was an infant I wanted another baby or a zillion babies. There is something wonderful about how they need you and how much they love you, and how you can love them so much you feel like you could explode everytime you hold them. all in good time I suppose there is time for babies, the trick is figuring out how to be a mom to big kids. I mean they still need you but not in the same way, ya know?
Thanks ladies! I feel better knowing I'm not the only one :) It's gettin better though, these hormones are just goin wild on me these days!
When Ellie was teeny, we could both feel that we had another one waiting and that it would happen sooner than we actually were wanting. When she turned one, the urgency to get the last baby here was so strong. I wanted so bad to have another but was so dang scared to have two babies so close. I'm always baby hungry though. Love them little people.
I'm feeling the same way and my baby is only 9 months! Don't worry you aren't crazy at all. Or maybe we both are?
