I had never even heard of it until she started getting sick.</p> <p>...is such a social butterfly. For some reason, I thought she'd be shy and reserved like I was as a child. But she loves smiling and charms everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who/page/2#post-1434782 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:07:04 +0000 hilsy85 1434782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...was blonde haired and blue eyed...neither DH nor I have either!<br /> ...was so active. I knew babies were active, but I thought they liked to snuggle on the couch too. Yeaaah not so much--it's more about running around everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who/page/2#post-1434779 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:03:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 1434779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was a girl! I always had this feelin that we would have two boys an that would be it, even through te end of my pregnancy. (Team green)</p> <p>Was colicky. Or whatever was hurting her months 2.5-3.5. I used to say, can you imagine having a baby with colic? Now, yes, yes I can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434769 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 18:54:28 +0000 AmandaB8 1434769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would refuse to nurse. I mean...seriously kid? You're lucky I don't let Darwinism take over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434747 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 18:37:39 +0000 Penny Lane 1434747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... is 18 months old and still not talking! I know he's not late or anything, but I was an early talker... my first word was "sharp" at 10 months, and I was speaking sentences by 18 months! LO has maybe 15 words. probably only 5 of them can be understood by someone other than DH and I ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434746 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 18:36:53 +0000 Rockies11 1434746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... doesn't look a thing like me! not a thing! At 7 months I still find this shocking. I thought her eyes were changing colour to be my eye colour, then I realized that they were actually turning my MIL/SIL's colour. Boo hoo hoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434719 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 18:13:29 +0000 MapleMoose 1434719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStormy: I hope my DD follows yours and they both learn to sleep for long chunks of time. We mamas need a break! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434663 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 17:47:48 +0000 Running Elley 1434663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS: ...would make me love boy stuff! I'm SUCH a girly person that I could never see myself getting excited about digging dirt, dump trucks and fire trucks! I love them now though because they make him so happy!<br /> DD:... Would be such a champion sleeper and nurser! Score!! We had the opposite experience (on both fronts) with her brother so I thought babies who naturally nursed/slept well were myths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434656 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 17:43:32 +0000 MrsStormy 1434656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: Yes! </p> <p>... refuses to nap. She is finally consistently taking naps, but she is 5 months old and still having to take 5 naps a day since they are never longer than 30 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434602 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 17:21:50 +0000 Kemma 1434602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has very little hair and no curls<br /> Is still nursing 6-8 times a day at sixteen months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434600 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 17:20:39 +0000 GrapeCrush 1434600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS: ....is not that great of a sleeper! I am a champion sleeper...him not so much. He takes after his daddy, that's for sure<br /> DD: ....was a ginger! Never ever did I imagine id have a red-headed child. I was in shock when she was born! Haha @AprilFool: we are the opposite on this one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434579 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 17:13:12 +0000 DillonLion 1434579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hate nursing!

She takes after daddy) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434407 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:25:35 +0000 loveisstrange 1434407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>is so independent. I was under the assumption that all babies loved to be snuggled. Nope, not my kid. She definitely has her personal space and always has... which isn't so strange because so do I. I don't like to be touched a lot either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434391 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:20:53 +0000 cranberryapple 1434391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bushelandapeck: Same here! DS naturally gravitated towards "boy" things, but I never forced them on him or anything. In fact, I tried to introduce dolls and stuffed animals and he would just shake his head and shove them away! Oh well, I tried! Hahahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434351 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:04:02 +0000 Weagle 1434351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: ... And on the flip side, I didn't expect a baldie! I was born with long silver/blond hair.

I was bald for ages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434294 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:46:20 +0000 Corduroy 1434294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...had allergies. Somehow I thought if I ate really healthy whole foods LO wouldn't be allergic to foods. (Through some extension of avoiding inflammation, idk) Stupid mama - it seems like LO's allergic to everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finish-this-sentence-i-never-thought-that-i-would-have-a-baby-who#post-1434293 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:45:46 +0000 MapleMoose 1434293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...does not nap.
