I can't stop crying when i look at my babys newborn pics

[newmama2023]

As the title says, i keep crying when i look at photos of my baby or think about how tiny she was. Bare in mind. She is only 4 months. So she is still so small. But i cant believe how quick time is going and how much she is changing. I feel i spent the newborn stage terrified and stressed as i havent ever held a newborn before. And i wish i could go back and do it again and appreciate it more. I just love her so much and there are things i wish i did differently, like using wrap around vests straight away and not even bothering with over the head shitty ones. Or using next to me straight away and not even using moses basket. Maybe she would of slept better seeing me? And other stuff i wish i could change. I just know time is flying by and soon she will be even older and I'll be crying even more.

Thank you for reading this xx

You have done what many people don't do until their child is older.

Embrace this knowledge. It's a gift. Every time it gets tough remember it passes so fast and you blink and you miss the good bits.

Enjoy the moment you are in. Don't lament the past or wish away the present in search of the future.

Thank you so much for your kind words, they have given me a lot of comfort (and a few more tears but not in a bad way 💗)

Don't worry, you'll reach the terrible 2s where they tantrum all day, and then time will stop and it will seemingly go on FOREVER.

I'm joking! The way you feel is perfectly normal. After my final child I cried about everything, every single tiny little milestone they reached, because I knew it would be the last time I'd experience it all. I just wanted to slow everything down so I could really take it all in. Take lots and lots of pictures and videos, keep their 'firsts' outfits, hair clippings etc, that way you can relive these moments over and over. X
