So it's been four months now, and I still have those "woah, I'm a mom" moments almost daily. My life hasn't really changed much, but all of a sudden, it's like...oh, there's a baby here.
wow... you mean i'm still going to be in awe four months later... my mom says that this feeling of.. "omg i'm a mommy" will pass... guess not! lol
I honestly don't know if it's just me. I've never heard a mother of an older child ever mentioning feeling like this before, but I hear tons about the intense mother/child bond that most get. DD has always been very easy. She has maybe cried a total of two hours since birth, no joke. She is always smiling and laughing, and I love her lots, but sometimes I still have to remind myself that she is my daughter, not just some cute little person sitting next to me. It is a very odd feeling, to say the least.
Yeah, I feel the same way. Normally I get those feelings when I'm arranging around daycare or doing her laundry, I think "wow we have a little person now". It is still very strange.
