For fun - what hasn't changed?

karaelaine1991

If you guys have already done something like this, sorry! I didn't see anything but as you know I was MIA throughout July so I definitely may have missed it.

Anyway, what parts of your baby's personality, or what habits/interests, have stayed the same since even before they were born? Was there anything you picked up on then that has stayed consistent now? Or, did you expect them to be interested in something then, but they're not displaying that interest yet?

For my LO, she's always LOVED music! She used to kick constantly whenever certain songs came on the radio and now she gets the biggest grin on her face when she hears them. One of my tricks to get her to stop crying is to sing to her, she loves music that much!

She's also always been super interested in kicking. She was kicking away in her very first ultrasound, kicked throughout pregnancy, and has loved kicking ever since she was born. That combined with her love of music makes me think she'll be a dancer someday!

My baby was constantly kicking me when I was pregnant.  Even now, at 15 weeks old, his legs NEVER stop moving!  We joke that he's going to be a soccer player someday with how strong his kicking is.

My dude had a lot of hiccups while I was pregnant and still does today. (Maybe that's true of all babies, dunno.)
He also had his hand/arm over his face in the 3D ultrasound in January, and he still likes to lie and sleep like that. With his knees pulled up. Those knees and feet were in my ribs foreeeevvverrrr when he was in the womb!

He's had a very distinctive look since he was about 3-4 days old. A very serious expression, with dark, almond shaped eyes.

LO had hiccups at least 3x a day while pregnant. Still gets them, sometimes lasting 20+ minutes, poor chickie.

Since birth she's been very nosy and incredibly alert (except when near the boob...snooze fest). She's always looking around, never content in one place for more than 5 minutes, and always wants to be carried around.

Since the moment we returned her mamaroo and bought a swing at 6 weeks (thank you lord baby Jesus) she has been obsessed with it. Talks and squeals in it as soon as she gets in it.

Since birth she has been ecstatic to be on her changing table. Squeals and laughs with delight. Even as a newborn she would quiet down and be so happy as soon as we put her on it.

My girl loves sleeping with her hands up to her face. She had her hands resting on her cheek on every ultrasound

LO would kick like crazy when he heard loud music in the womb, kid had a dance party when I went to see Pitch Perfect 2. He loves music now, I've seen him dancing in his car seat. When we sing to him he gets so happy.

Baby a was so still near the end the only movements I felt were hiccups. She's still such a chill baby! She plays on the floor and falls asleep where we lay her! Baby b kicked me constantly and still is a kicker. She has such loud, important opinions and won't. Be. Ingnored!!!! I just knew she would be my passionate one. Their personalities make perfect sense haha

This sounds strange but I had an obsession with chewing ice while pregnant. He hated the cold and would kick really hard! Now when I'm cuddling him and chew ice he hates it and glares at me and wakes up from a dead sleep(even tho he will sleep through loud anything!!?)

He also is clearly my kid because he loves being social anywhere. Has to be facing out and see everything that's going on. Loves public places!

He was very active and wiggly in the womb and still is. He was very healthy as a fetus and still is. I felt like his name Jasper suited him while I was pregnant and I still think it does.

Now he has an insatiable appetite, which shouldn't surprise me since when I was pregnant he made me have an insatiable appetite! I don't know why I was surprised. I was pleasantly surprised by his cute little smiles though...I didn't imagine those while pregnant.

He's still a hungry little boy! The first night I had him home I was struggling to get his latch right so I ended up hand expressing and syringe feeding. I remember DH giving him the amount that all the websites said he should be taking at his age and then turning to me to say "I think he wants more". He still wants to eat every 90 minutes during the day.

He's very strong too. When I was pregnant he'd stick his legs right out my side, you could see my whole stomach deform. He's had really good head control since he was born

Kicking, kicking, kicking! Like many have said my LO moved and squirmed a ton while on the womb and he never stops moving when he's awake now. He also used to constantly get the hiccups and he still does.

He is still a furnace. I was so hot when I was carrying him that o didn't wear a coat all winter in the upper Midwest. He is still super hot. Sweats all the time

My LO was very laid back in the womb, he'd have short bursts of kicking randomly and then nothing for a while. He's still like this. So many people comment on how calm he is and he will have sudden bursts of energy like kicking but he is very relaxed most of the time and just wants to look around and see everything. Ditto on the hiccups and the changing table, he is always happy when we lay him down on the changing table and that's where I get the most smiles and coos haha

slr1229

Kicking, kicking, and more kicking. Non-stop movement in the womb and she can't sit still for longer than 5 minutes as well and loooves to sit outward and doesn't want to miss out on a thing! DH used to play guitar and sing when preggers and she likes that still.

mrs1374a

Her hiccups for sure! I never felt them during my first pregnancy and she doesn't have them often. This pregnancy I felt them multiple times daily and she has them multiple times daily. Lol

Her morning stretch faces are still the same :x

LO was always real active this time of day. Evening time he would kick and punch and headbutt my virginia pretty much once the sun went down until I went to bed. Now that's he's into life on the outside, during the evening hours he wants to stay up and move around and be fussy and just in general not be calm. He doesn't full on cry, but he acts like he is about to so you have to react to him, then he will be talkative for a few then begin to try to cry again...

Edited spelling

My baby girl loves the changing table, too!

This guy has loved baths from the very beginning. His first bath he slept through and he has just been super chill about bath time ever since. I'm grateful.

My LO has always loved baths, too. He cried after they pulled him out until they started bathing him and didn't cry much after that (still really doesn't). Now after his bath be I'd the happiest baby in the world.

He also still loves his dogs. In utero he would start kicking when they barked bit didn't seem bothered by other sounds. He is still in love with his pups. When they bark he starts kicking and he watches them when they walk around.

Just thought of another thing- LO still has the dark grey eyes he was born with. DH has brown eyes and no history of blue eyes in his family so I expect his genes will take over eventually, but for now I really love my little boys eyes!

DH has brown eyes and mine are hazel. LO's are still pretty blue. I'm expecting them to change, am hopeful they won't, and I might cry when they do.
