When they finally did it they said I needed to wait 2 hours in my room...as soon as they left I made my husband put me in a wheelchair and we escaped to the NICU level so I could see my baby. I had only got to hold her like 5 minutes the night before so I was dying to see her. My nurse tracked me down but knew better than to say anything and just brought me cookies and my medicine and left me be. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-893220 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 10:58:18 +0000 Adira 893220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-893190 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 10:46:24 +0000 aprk 893190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: hahaha. I swore at A all the time at the beginning. Had to get out those emotions somehow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-893180 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 10:43:51 +0000 Adira 893180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are they supposed to be good memories??</p> <p>I remember distinctly attempting to nurse Xander while my brother was over and explaining to my brother that the little d-bag was hungry and then saying the F-word over and over as he latched on poorly. It went something like "F---, F---, that hurts you little F---er!"</p> <p>I'm an awesome mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-893167 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 10:38:17 +0000 DillonLion 893167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'd wake her up to feed her and she'd do this huge full body stretch while hanging from my hands. Ee I miss those tiny stretches! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-893161 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 10:36:18 +0000 regberadaisy 893161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: awww I remember watching her kick all the time and thinking so that's the foot that was lodged in my ribcage for 2 months! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-892048 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 22:05:04 +0000 MrsRoo 892048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kind of still in the early days I guess. But our first night with her in the hospital, I was too scared for both DH and I to be sleeping with her in the room, so I watched her a lot. She was in the bassinet and kept lifting her legs straight in the air making her little body into an L shape, and she used to do that a lot in my belly, making it look like a giant box. It was so cool connecting the baby in my belly to the baby that was in front of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-892041 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 22:03:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 892041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember distinctly he was four days old. I was holding him while sitting in my rocking chair that DH had moved into our bedroom for me. My mom was sitting with us and had made us a delicious meal. I started crying and said, "I just love him so much. I had no idea I would love him like this, I didn't expect it at all. I can't believe how strong of a feeling it is. I love him!" </p> <p>I was so overpowered by the ocean of love I felt for my son! I'm sure the post Partum hormones made the moment a little more dramatic too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-892037 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 22:02:56 +0000 SugarplumsMom 892037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember when she was just newly born and I was laying there in the hospital completely bewildered! I didn't expect her to look the way she did, not in a bad way, but it just took me awhile to finally put a face to my little kicker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-892030 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 22:00:59 +0000 twinmama 892030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the hospital our first night we were too nervous to sleep, but so tired. DH and I took shifts watching both babies while the other napped for like 20 min at a time. I remember cradling one in each arm in the hospital bed in the wee hours of the morning and hardly believing this was really my life! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-892001 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:53:50 +0000 travelgirl1 892001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my favourite memories is from the first night of A's life, I knew everyone wanted me to get some sleep but I was just too excited and lay staring at this perfect little person in my arms for the whole entire night :heart: I think I slept for maybe half an hour? Whenever I think of her first few weeks I remember how amazing she felt/looked/was. I still feel like that, it's true when they say you forget the tiredness, worries etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-891988 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 21:48:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 891988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm...honesty? Not eating, not sleep and always leaking BM through my shirts :'(</p> <p>I do remember our ride home from the hospital..tear:') he was finally here and were exstatic.<br /> Other than the short colicky stage; he was great and were still exstatic he's here! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-memory-from-the-early-days-of-parenthood#post-885417 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 19:00:00 +0000 regberadaisy 885417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one stood out in my mind this week for some reason.</p> <p>I remember during maternity leave the week my mom was in Toronto visiting my aunt. I would pack LO up into her stroller and we would take a stroll to the library bc it was the only thing within walking distance. She was old enough to be interested so I would take her out of the stroller and try to push the stroller around a small cramped library. Some days she would fall asleep on the way home. &lt;3 </p>
