I Miss My Baby

Wow, profound baby longing feelings today. This is all very odd to me, I am not a gushy baby person, well, I am all gushy about my baby... but while in the mall today I saw a baby, she looked up and coo'ed at her mommy and I about fell over. I actually started to cry and had to quickly walk away. I miss my baby, I miss my baby's baby noises, twitches, wiggles. I love my toddler's voice and creative language, but oh those noises and squeeks of a baby.

How sad is this, I have found myself encouraging babe to watch Tellitubbies so I can hear the sun baby squeel. It's like self torture.

No point to the thread, just figured there must be someone out there like me.

Nicholas is STILL a baby and I was looking back at his baptism pictures (1month, 1day old) and I can't figure out how he got this big all ready. (14lbs, 8oz) I'm so confused!

*hugs*

Does this ever end? Or do they just keep growing up? Is there any magic freezing dust?

My son is almost 3 years old. I have not had baby fever at all the whole time. I have always said that one was enough for me. However, last month I signed him up for preschool in the fall and then it hit me - he isn't a baby any more. Now I also look at babies at the mall and get a little stab in my heart. I love my son now. He is such a joy. But boy do I miss the baby stuff now.

I am right there with you. I am just befuddled by my son deciding to go and grow up without my permission...

No it never ends. Mine were in college and I was still dreaming of holding a new baby. (My dreams never quite explained where the baby came from - it was just there.) But I think I have an inside line on that magical freezing dust - it's being a grandma!

Happy G'Ma

I so understand -- and I felt that forever after my ds was born and then finally I caved in and said that my heart still had room for one more, lol. Now, I do feel complete, but when this littlest one gets beyond baby stage, it'll ache, just like yours, I'm sure. My dd (now 20) told me that to just hang on a few more years and in 8-10, then I can enjoy hers! Even without kidding, missing our babies is real. Thankfully, they have great new stages but that babyness is soooo special. susan

Adrienne, I likie the mantra, Ive used the variations, but they don't work.
My baby girl is in COLLEGE! ( Local, so at least she's still home)
She is my oldest and she started college at the age of 16! Where did the time go?
My Dh and I have had 7. I have a 9 month old and I STILL get baby hungry! We are still a few years away from grand kids ( OR at least we HAD BETTER be) so I might self destruct. I wonder if the wanting another one ever goes away?

Lana, there's just something about the way she said it, KWIM? We always interpreted it as a joke. We took great pride in growing without her permission! As a mommy...it's soooo much more meaningful.

I just spent the evening with a dear friend and her two kids, older and younger than mine... the peace on the way home with babe chatting about the stars was so nice. Maybe it's that I desire the baby experience over again with babe now that I have more experience, but not so much the second child, if that makes sense.

Or maybe, light bulb moment here, it's that I never allowed myself to enjoy babies before.

I'm over joyed that babe is growing, but a pause button would be nice now and then.

Nice to hear from others
