Please tell me this is normal.
I am sooo head over heels for my little boy. I worried everyday that something will happen to him or that he'll get sick. I worry that one day he might think I don't love him. I worry that he's growing up too fast and he won't be my little baby forever.
I worry about him leaving home & him getting his heart broken...or not finding love. He's 10 weeks old for goodness sake!!!!
I don't want to be one of those overbearing parents but the love is so overwhelming!!

Totally normal :-). When he was just a few days old I had the thought that someday he will leave me for another woman (or another man? who knows?) and it made me incredibly sad.

I had to ask my DH if he thought how obsessed I am with DS was normal! ha! He is already 14 months and I feel like I can't possibly love him anymore than I already do!

Completely normal! I can't believe how much I love my girl, and it only gets stronger each day. I don't know what I would do without her

@lamariniere: lol... I've already told DH that no woman will ever be good enough for him...eeeek I don't want to be that MIL!! Haha.
Glad to know I'm not alone... I never expected the love to be this overwhelming. Having a child is so amazing... It really is a piece of your heart.

@Mrs squirreld: I feel the same way and mine is going on 18 months old. It's amazing, isn't it?

So ridiculously normal. 
The thought of anything happening to them makes me want to throw myself off a cliff. That's how obsessed I am.

Very normal! The amount of love that you feel for your children is completely overwhelming and unbelievable! DS is 14 months already and there's no stopping the love!

Yeah, I feel like this too. But it's not like the happiness you feel when you're in love - it's almost painful? Like my happy feelings are tinged with a sadness somehow, they're just that overwhelming? I'm desperate for her to be happy and feel loved - to know her mummy and daddy love her so much.
I could cry just typing this!

@Cherrybee: yes exactly!!! My heart aches for him... Which is just crazy because I have him right here... He's my baby right now and my heart is breaking thinking about possibilities that are so unlikely or so far away in the future!!

Totally normal! And I found you become more obsessed as they get older and their little personalities shine through. DS is now 14 months old and I can't get enough of him!

@Mamasig: oh dear... I'm in trouble! Lol
I can't even imagine what it would feel like to have more than one LO.... The love would be CRAzy!!

The other day I was telling my husband I never thought I'd invite a bald toothless pot-bellied needy guy into my bed and be soo happy about it!

Ha, I think DH is sick of the way that I gush about the kids every night.

My LO is only 2 weeks old tomorrow and I love him more than I ever thought possible. It's crazy to me that I will love him more as time goes on!!

Yup, totally normal
It's especially strong because I didn't feel the love right away. It was kind of like meeting a stranger who was determined to not let me sleep at all. But after a few weeks once we got to know each other this love came out of nowhere that is unlike anything I have ever experienced and just gets stronger every day
