I have had a blast spending time with him since he turned about a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-809288 Sat, 25 May 2013 18:26:36 +0000 hilsy85 809288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 6-8 wks...the main feelings before that were anxiety and overwhelming responsibility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-809281 Sat, 25 May 2013 18:16:02 +0000 rawrasaur 809281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 12 weeks. Before that it was all so new and surreal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-809265 Sat, 25 May 2013 17:55:22 +0000 Running Elley 809265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved him right away... So much that it freaked me out and my anxiety about something happening to him was through the roof. I fall more in love with him all the time... Especially since his personality is so strong now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-809262 Sat, 25 May 2013 17:51:01 +0000 littlepenguin 809262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like others have said I loved him before he was born and even more once he was here. I didn't have a real bond with him until about 2 months when he started smiling and really being interactive. It was like our relationship changed from me keeping him alive to actuall engaging him and being able to get something back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-809210 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:47:00 +0000 sarac 809210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved her immediately, and wanted to care for her and protect her. But I felt like I didn't know her - and I needed time to really know her to feel that crazy love. It didn't take long, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-809208 Sat, 25 May 2013 16:44:20 +0000 Adira 809208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Gahh, I totally missed that your baby was born!!! Congratulations!!! And don't worry - I think it's totally normal for it to have to take time to bond with your baby. I was actually jealous of my husband when he went back to work after 4 weeks! But by the time it was my turn to return to work at 12 weeks, I no longer could bear the thought of leaving my baby! So you'll get there eventually! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808871 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:39:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 808871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it took a while with both. of course i instantly felt love and protective of them, but it took a while for the bond to grow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808867 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:35:18 +0000 NovBaby1112 808867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell in love with her and would do anything for her instantly, but I actually LIKED her and enjoyed her around 12 weeks or so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808847 Sat, 25 May 2013 12:20:14 +0000 sera_87 808847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a while. 4-6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808795 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:42:56 +0000 Boogs 808795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love at first sight.

I felt attached to her, but honestly kept feeling more overwhelmed by love for my husband as I saw them together. At 4 1/2 weeks now and it keeps getting stronger. I kind of have enjoyed this slow build up, because these sweet little moments are like little treasures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808774 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:18:28 +0000 JoJoGirl 808774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still waiting :-/ happy to read some of these responses.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808761 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:09:49 +0000 shopaholic 808761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Instantly. I mean, I already fell in love with her the minute I saw her heartbeat on the u/s. But when she was born, I couldn't believe it - she was mine! I think I fall more and more in love with her everyday, but I would say I fell head over heels in love with her the minute I put her on my chest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808708 Sat, 25 May 2013 10:15:50 +0000 beachbee 808708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The moment I saw her on the u/s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808689 Sat, 25 May 2013 09:55:43 +0000 yellowbird 808689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me 3-4 weeks to be completely head over heels for her. I loved her immediately, but I had to bond with her and my love grew exponentially. I love her so much!! Best thing that has ever happened :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808680 Sat, 25 May 2013 09:41:44 +0000 Adira 808680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, it was probably around 2 months. I definitely LIKED him in the beginning and thought he was totally adorable. But it definitely took a while for me to really bond with him and feel totally in love with him. And now I can't imagine not having him in my life! But in the beginning, I was just like "WTF did we do??" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808647 Sat, 25 May 2013 09:02:07 +0000 regberadaisy 808647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly? I was in love with her before she was even born. The second she was placed in my arm it just clinched it. She is just the most amazing thing ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808624 Sat, 25 May 2013 08:39:38 +0000 Smurfette 808624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love at first sight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808607 Sat, 25 May 2013 08:28:17 +0000 Koolbreeze 808607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love at first sight both times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808604 Sat, 25 May 2013 08:26:50 +0000 winniebee 808604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved him immediately. But I didn't become obsessed with him until 3 months. The newborn phase was stressful for me. Not sure if that makes sense? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808599 Sat, 25 May 2013 08:25:10 +0000 Ra 808599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it weird that I already feel hopelessly in love with him and he isn't even due for 5 more weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808572 Sat, 25 May 2013 07:44:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 808572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard before I saw her, so love at first hearing. Her voice was completely different than I was expecting but I knew immediately that she was mine and I'd be forever hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808570 Sat, 25 May 2013 07:42:01 +0000 Andrea 808570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was love at first sight for me both times. But it took me a few months to feel fully bonded to my #2. I think because she was my 2nd girl and I had to get a better sense of her personality first in order to stop the comparisons to my 1st. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808569 Sat, 25 May 2013 07:41:39 +0000 78h2o 808569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved her immediately, but I'd say it took 2-3 days before I was hopelessly, head over heels in love with her. </p> <p>I love her more every day.</p> <p>She is a really easy baby though and I didn't have PPD. I can totally see how it might be different if she was colicky or I was super/anxious or depressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808567 Sat, 25 May 2013 07:39:34 +0000 autumn865 808567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say it took after a few hours for me. When she was born it was this "OMG I had a baby?" reaction. Also I had complications post birth so I was whisked away to the OR then recovery so I didn't get the skin to skin, cozy family time or breastfeeding like I had wanted. I would say I fell in love during our middle of the night feedings when everything was calm and quiet and it was just her and I. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-fall-in-love-with-your-lo#post-808559 Sat, 25 May 2013 07:23:27 +0000 blackbird 808559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a few weeks. It was more shock/disbelief at first. Part of me was in denial because I kept waiting for something to go wrong! She was also hospitalized for a week, so that made things hard </p>
