Success after IF

New Mamas Your Posts Make Me Smile...

In a happy, nostalgic, wistful way.  Not that it was SO long ago that I had a new baby myself - but in some ways - it seems like a lifetime ago.  They grow SO fast and change so much - the funny little boy who walks around my house (like frankenstein) and laughs and yells and gets MAD at me sometimes - it's hard to believe he is that newborn that came home with me in November 2008.

Treasure every moment.  DON'T sweat the small stuff (like worrying that you're "spoiling" them by letting them sleep on your or in your arms - that stuff is GONE in the blink of an eye.)

So stressful having a new baby sometimes (oftentimes!) - but so amazing too.  The beginning of a beautiful relationship. 

Wheee!

"When it comes to sleeping, whatever your baby does is normal. If one thing has damaged parents enjoyment of their babies, it's rigid expectations about how and when the baby should sleep." ~ James McKenna, Ph.D., Mother Baby Behavioral Sleep Center, University of Notre Dame
