I have a facebook friend who is obviously using her dog to help with her baby fever. She just got a new puppy and posts more pictures of her then I do of my LO! We get to see everything that goes on in the dog's life. I love seeing those pictures :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-found-a-pet-helped-with-baby-fever#post-812111 Tue, 28 May 2013 06:38:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 812111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Enjoy the puppy and share lots of pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-found-a-pet-helped-with-baby-fever#post-811876 Mon, 27 May 2013 21:54:19 +0000 cavalierkcs 811876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: absolutely one of the best things to do for baby fever. I want a second puppy now.

Then we had a baby, and realized that 3 cats and 2 (big) dogs AND a baby is kind of a hand full. I wish I could go back and tell my former self that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-found-a-pet-helped-with-baby-fever#post-811169 Mon, 27 May 2013 12:27:48 +0000 mrskc 811169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well we got out dog 2 years ago and I was pregnant at the time but then miscarried. I think having her really helped take my mind off it. I signed her up for training classes at petsmart and I did that with her for almost 6 months going once a week. I have to say now that we have our LO, I'm so glad we were able to spend that time with our dog and really train her before we had a baby. Now it's so fun to see the baby just go crazy over our dog and she is so gentle with the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-found-a-pet-helped-with-baby-fever#post-811161 Mon, 27 May 2013 12:15:52 +0000 daniellemybelle 811161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a puppy almost exactly a year ago, and it was so fun! I would actually say preparing to get a puppy was more fun for us than this pregnancy has been! When you're pregnant, you have to deal with the physical stuff, plus all the worry and stress that comes with planning for a real life child. Getting a puppy was just pure fun and I was definitely fixated on him and nothing else for quite a while... heck, I still am often :) Of course, once he arrives, it is a lot of work, but that will probably help your baby fever too because it takes up a lot of your time and energy. Enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-found-a-pet-helped-with-baby-fever#post-811086 Mon, 27 May 2013 11:31:56 +0000 mrs. 64 811086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad it's helping! Our pup helped with mine for a bit, especially since she didn't sleep through the night for about 6 months. I thought there is no way I'm doing this with pup and a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-else-found-a-pet-helped-with-baby-fever#post-811060 Mon, 27 May 2013 11:15:23 +0000 pui 811060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and I have adopted an adorable little Biewer Yorkie and we get to bring him home on Friday at 11.5 weeks old! We are SO excited! We went shopping on the weekend and bought all the adorable pet supplies. We went home and opened all the packages and set up his crate with blankets inside and discussed the perfect position for it so he won't be too hot or too cold. I've pinned 3490583495 dog related things the past week and watched a ton of puppy training videos on YouTube.</p> <p>While it doesn't fill the void completely, getting this new puppy has really eased my baby fever significantly. Not only does it simply get my mind off it, but I am so much looking forward to having the little guy to care for and train. I'm not nearly as frustrated by my long cycles and lack of O as I was 2 weeks ago.</p> <p>Who else found that a pet helped ease baby fever? </p>
