@sorrycharlie: we know what DOESN'T give me the fever
-
@Bao: loud, willful little hellions? LOL
-
The smell of a newborn baby. It's like crack for my uterus.
-
@sorrycharlie: hahaha! Yep
-
just looking at a little one has made me all squishy for the last two years. I'm so ready!
-
Really the only thing that has given me the fever is seeing my toddler with new little babies. She held my friends 3 week old the other day and I got so excited for her to have a little sister. Heart exploded (uterus did just fine as its full of 34 week baby).
Other than that, I see newborns and remember how much work they are and how little they give back for the first so many months. My toddler is more fun (and more of a pain in the butt, in the nicest way possible).
-
Talking about what my daughter will be like as a big sister someday (she's only 10 weeks). Reminiscing about my own childhood. Talking about all of the things we want to do as a family. Basically all things sibling related.

I never really had baby fever for my first two, I mostly just wanted kids/a family. But my five week old has been amazing in the newborn stage (and now because I wrote that he's gonna change!) and I tell dh he is the kind of baby that makes women want to have all the babies! (Eta, but I'm done!)

@LindsayLou: do you ever feel bad for your future second baby that you only get excited for them in the context of your first? My second will be here in a matter of weeks and still I only really get excited about her when I think of seeing the girls together. In sure that will change once she is here and I actually know her...

Tiny little vests and sleepers
-
newborn snuggles, when they just know to find that special spot on your lower shoulder....gahhh my uterus can't handle it. And then I find my 3 year old screaming about her not finding her special socks and my 8 month old trying to eat anything on the floor....and well I usually snap out of it! haha
-
@Cherrybee: I agree! We are one and done (DS isnt even here yet) but I keep thinking about those tiny clothes that will never be used again
-
My friend has a newborn, and I have like 3 friends that are giving birth between now and next May so I'm gonna have major fever!
-
@Foodnerd81: Yes, I do feel a bit guilty about that. I feel like I should want any future babies as much as I wanted my daughter, and just for their own sake. It's hard to separate my desire for her to have a sibling from my desire to have another baby. I'm sure it will be different when that hypothetical baby is in my arms.
I also feel guilty that my next baby won't have the full, undivided attention that she has. But I try to remind myself of how much fun my brothers and I had as kids, and how much I doted on them as babies (they are 2.5 and 5 years younger than I am).
