I love my baby sooooo much it hurts!

[avignon]

My baby is 10 weeks old and I love her so much it makes me want to cry! I don't want these precious days of her being little to end and that makes me sad because I'm so happy. Am I mad??!

I know this is a zombie thread but I recognised it immediately - from a year ago, when I sat with my newborn baby alone during night feeds searching 'I love my baby so much'

Sorry to keep it going but seeing it on the front page just reminded me of that time and how special it was. I hope it makes other new mums smile the way it made me.

DD was so small when she was born that if Just state at her for hours. I remember when DP went back to work he'd come home and ask what we had done that day. I'd just sat and watched her in awe at how much love a human had brought out in me by doing nothing other than existing.

Still now, she is 1 in 2 weeks and I find myself just watching her. I'm torn between wanting to encapsulate her as she is now and have her never grow up and loving seeing her grow each and everyday.

I think we underestimate the love mothers talk about until we experience it ourselves. From the first second of them taking their own breathe it steals your own and you think there is no feeling stronger until you get to the next day and then the next and it just grows. I still find it so overwhelming that I just want to cry for no other reason than not knowing how to articulate this amount of love.

I get this although it snuck up on me rather than something I felt from the very start. I am now a card carrying hair ruffler!

Came upon this thread and felt compelled to join in. As an over the hill stay at home dad i look at my little baby girl and find myself in constant awe, never have i seen anything so beautiful. This is a love that has caught me off guard. I am blessed , she is now two and there is no wearing off, I see her and my heart melts and tears roll down my eyes every single day
