You're all going to think I'm mad but I LOVE the teeny tiny newborn stage.....

[LadyTophamHatt]

Yes, even with the tiredness, and all the other stuff that makes it hard work.

I just love it.

me too

lovely

me too! Glad you are enjoying your new little man!

oh good!

I really enjoyed dd3 as a teeny tiny newborn too, by the time you are on your third (or fourth!) you realise that the cliche is true - they grow up so fast.

yeh i love that stage too

I was saying exaclty that today to someone, and she laughed as only 5 seconds before I'd be saying what a pain one of mine was being lately.

Babies are just so lovely though aren't the, I want more, just need to find a donor LOL.

I love the first few days when you are as high as a kite on hormones, you feel like superwoman having given birth to this little person who you have fallen totally and utterly in love with, your DP/H thinks you are wonderful and is falling over himself to do the housework and visitors bring you chocolate

I love it too

still 11 days till due date here

Me too. It was such a steep learning curve with DD that I didn't realise how sweet she was until suddenly she was too big to nestle into my chest in that lovely floppy way anymore. Now I want another one!

I love babies so much I'm thinking of looking for a job in a nursery !

He's just soooo lovely, soft and squidgy and all he wants is me.

I feel like the luckiest woman alive.....

awwwww

so happy for you lth

if i struggle in 5 months time can i call you please?

Enid is soooooooooo right. I hated every minute of DS1 being weeny but it was over in a flash . I made sure I hugged and kissed DS2 every 10 secs - where did the last 4 months go?

Enjoy!

LTH - search back to some of your threads from the last few weeks and you will see how far you have come.....

So pleased for you

I hated DS1s first couple of months. Twas hell.

DS2 is now 4 months old, and I can honestly say the last 4 months have been joyful

i feel like on cloud 9, tutter i really do....

I know popsy, i was thinking about all those threads earlier.

I really think the whole PG made me insane.

Arghh, stop it LTH, you're going to make me all broody ......

Oh, that's alright then

pregnancy makes me insane too lth!
no more

Newborns are fab! I just loved walking round holding them all day long.

Aaaaaah, lucky you LTH!

Forgot to say, the best bit is around 6 weeks-ish , and they give you the gummy grin. Aaaaaaaah, bloody love it, so so cute.

Gummy grins are in fact my favourite things in newborns. Snuffling too.

Oooh I love newborns. Then at about 6 weeks I'd like to press their fast-forward button so I could have a walking, talking, and admittedly tantrummy, 2 year old. Because 2 year olds are unbelievably cute and cuddly and extremely amusing. I love 'em!

Aw, that tiny cry!

The toothless gums.

Their floppy bodies.

The wrinkly skin.

They're edible.

Hvaing just posted on the other thread about how horris the first 6 weeks of DS life were I am hoping that I will enjoy newborn-ness with number 2. Is it easier to enjoy second time round cos you are less worried??
