I knew it would happen but it's like once she became mobile she just started growing so fast! She is psychologically very much a baby though. I don't feel like I have an almost one year old!! I can't believe this time last year we were finishing up her room and had new baby things coming in every other day.. And now I have this amazing little girl. I know Im rambling... It's just mind boggling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978804 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 15:23:43 +0000 littlek 978804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I was excited B was turning 1 but also sad that the baby stage was over. B is such a big boy now, I try and sneak in snuggles as much as I can because I know one day he will be too cool for mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978793 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 15:22:06 +0000 cascademom 978793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I feel similar about all of the wonderful BFPs. I hate waiting to try right now. DH keeps mentioning "next time." I practically fell on the floor when he said it! He's also getting super nostalgic for when LO was a tiny newborn and growing baby while we were looking through cell phone pics and talking about offsite storage options for our pictures. I think that he's slowly getting baby fever himself. </p> <p>I can't believe that my LO will be 1 in a few weeks. It seems so soon and fast. Even getting his first haircut brought about so many emotions. As tough as the first 1-6 months were, I would do it again in a heartbeat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978679 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:50:48 +0000 MsLipGloss 978679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: My LO still doesn't have any teeth . . . and I may or may not be relishing her still-a-baby smile! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978634 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:36:29 +0000 MrsF 978634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have very mixed feelings about M's big birthday coming up in 2 months. I'm excited for her and excited for us surviving and thriving through 1 year. On the other hand it makes me a little sad :(. She still has some very babyish traits though - she's not really standing yet, has no hair and won't really hold her own bottle, so I think that makes it a little easier. She's still my little baby for a little while longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978605 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:30:37 +0000 Ginger333 978605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( I have about a month until my last baby is a year old and honestly, I'm not ready. I'm refusing to have a first birthday party, we're celebrating 12 months instead. He's still a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978503 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:02:52 +0000 birdofafeather 978503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i can't believe he's almost a year! ah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978502 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:02:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 978502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww! hugs! :( I'm already dreading this. doesn't that make me such an awful mom? that i'm dreading my baby turning one? I should be so thrilled that she's healthy, happy and thriving (especially when so many children don't even make it to 1) but I get so emotionally wrapped up in how fast this year went. </p> <p>I'm trying SO hard to be objective about it and excited, because I find that when I let myself get really emotional (ex - when she fell asleep in my arms for her nap this am for the first time in a long time) I just start crying and wishing I could turn back the clock, instead of enjoying this little/big ball of independence, sass and affection for who she is right now and who she's becoming. it's so hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978427 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:38:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 978427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Oh, ditto on the BFPs! I'm SO thrilled and excited for them, but at the same time, it's very heart-pangy...</p> <p>@plantains: Yep, I'm sure THAT change will make me burst into tears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978414 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:35:02 +0000 plantains 978414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I know right???! I was soo annoyed by that. DD is still a baby in every way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978398 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:28:00 +0000 MsLipGloss 978398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: that's just wrong! they're not *toddlers* at 12 months . . . maaaaaybe 18 months, but not 12! booooo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978384 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:24:38 +0000 plantains 978384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know how you feel, I was pretty sad when DD turned 1. Then teh BabyCentre bulletins changed from 'your baby this week...' to 'your toddler this week...' and I burst into tears! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978359 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:19:52 +0000 MsLipGloss 978359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and while I *love love love* seeing so many mamas posting about their recent BFPs, it just sort of drives home the point that we probably won't have a second. And while most of the time I am totally good with that, I waffle, too. I am a waffling sonofagun these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978344 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:17:02 +0000 MsLipGloss 978344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. LO turns 1 in a little over a month . . . and she is probably the only baby we will have. So yeah, I'm not ready either. I mean I want to see her grow and learn and experience life (hopefully I will be around to see it!), but I also want her to stay small and stay my baby forever. 'Cause she's my buddy and my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-not-ready#post-978330 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:12:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 978330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E will be turning 1 in 8 days, and I'm not ready. </p> <p>I'm excited to see him growing and changing and learning, and I'm excited for him to be a toddler (although honestly, we call him a toddler now) and then a little kid, but I'm just not ready for him to not be a little baby. Rationally I know that he hasn't been my little baby for a long while--he's practically running, he's got an independence streak a mile wide, I haven't given up the last MOTN feeding because it's one of the only times he'll snuggle with me...but psychologically he's still my little baby.</p> <p>Under 1 to 1 seems like such a huge mental divide, and it makes me sad to know we're rushing towards crossing over that "line". It doesn't help that it's entirely possible he'll be our only child, and I can't even count on getting to have another little baby someday :(</p> <p>Anyone else have mixed feelings about your LO's first birthday? </p>
