Re: Love/Hate Poll
Love: Seeing him smile. It is like sunshine for my heart. There is no other way to explain it
Hate: Sharing him. I loved that when I was pregnant, he was all mine. Now I have to let other people hold him, babysit him, go gaga over him, etc. Mostly I hate sharing him with my MIL, that lady is driving me nuts!
Love: baby's smiles
Hate: Loss of freedom
Love: Her smiles
Hate: Having to share her with my MIL. Now she wants to come over all the time and I can't stand it. I was fine with only seeing her once every couple of months before Ava came but now we have to see her more.
Love- that Laugh and that Smile, makes the bad days at work melt away
Hate- The "baby shuffle" when DH and I are both working and DD has to go to Nana's- we are down to one car now- so its a real pain. Get up- go to work, take lunch at 2- pick up DH & Baby- Drop off DH at work- Bring DD to Nanas- back to work- go get DD later....ugh. It was so much easier when she was in the belly!
What do you love about being a mom? Snuggling up for naps together.
What do you hate about being a mom? My postpartum body
Haha, I should have just quoted you before answering mine. I answered and am just now reading through what other people said.
Love: watching her discover and learn new things
Hate: the unpredictability of my days
I know!!! Luckily, my H usually asks her to come over on the weekends while I am working. She always wants to babysit, but she doesn't ever listen to our schedule. She drives me nuts!
Love: I love everything when it comes to being mommy. Poopy diapers, soothing away tears, smiles, play time, etc...
Hate: Right now I hate not being able to go anywhere or do anything without a bunch of planning. I miss going to lunch or dinner, shopping trips to Target or Costco, and being able to do whatever. It sucks and I miss that part of my life so much. I can't wait until she's older and we can integrate her into our life. Right now we have to stay at home or get a babysitter if we want to do anything together. I'm jealous of families who can take their wee little ones out without tears and fussing.
I also hate having the desire to go do things by myself, but when I do get out, I immediately feel guilty and feel the need to rush. I'm sure this will change when I start work again on the 21st.
Mine always offers to babysit too but I really don't think we'll ever leave A alone with her. I would rather cancel my plans or have a teenager do it and I don't feel bad saying that.
Love: How he smiles and looks at me like I am his world
Hate: The lack of sleep
Love: That he looks like me. Not being vain...I am adopted and I have no blood relatives. He is the first person in my life that is actually part of me.
Hate: To be completely honest, hate how much money his medical procedures will cost. I still haven't gotten the bill for my 23 ultrasounds I had when I was pregnant...I'm scared...
Love: The smiles, and giggles
Hate: My Stretch Marks ( No more bikinis for even though I am the same size as before baby.)
Ugh... I've lost my weight, but it doesn't matter! My hips are twice the size, my stomach is a saggy mess and I'm covered in stretch marks. I have a fibroid, so I'm still measuring at 20 weeks pregnant (I was measuring over 60 when I had her
). She is totally worth it all, but I agree... my expectations were way off.
Love: smiles
Hate:spit up
Love: Huge smiles
Hate: Not being able to just leave the house real fast or sleep as long as I want...so I guess loss of independence.
Love: Having him fall asleep on my chest/holding him close.
Hate: Read bolded portion lol
Love: the huge toothless smiles she gives me
Hate: having to plan my life around feeding and nap times. the nap one isn't such a huge issue but feeding is because i still have to use both hands and it still is uncomfortable. the thought of NIP makes me scared.
Love: snuggling with him because I know one day he's going to be running everywhere and won't want to cuddle with poor mom anymore
Hate: I don't feel comfortable taking him to like walmart or target or grocery shopping yet...we've gone out to dinner several times but havn't tackled the big stores yet....so I hate that I can't just get out and go to these places unless husbands home....I know I'll have to face this challenge but I'm waiting until he's old enough where he can play with toys in the cart of keep himself contained & not cry
Love: seeing him hit milestones
Hate: the loss of the ability to go to places late at night with no planning

Love: everything about actually being a mom. Heck, I don't even mind having him with me 24/7 for the most part now that I've gotten over my fear of NIP and have a social life with other moms.
Hate: my stomach. Its covered in stretch marks and is all wrinkly. It makes me feel sooooooo unsexy!
love - playtime bonding. whether its cooing along with dd or being a tickle monster for ds, i love it more then anything!
hate - puke! spit-up i can handle, its the throwing up with food chunks and that awful smell that i hate!
Love: My baby girl smiling at me all the time.
Hate: I never have free time anymore. I "love" how my DH has time to workout, lay on the couch and watch TV, read, and hang out with his friends. I have no time for any of that.
Love: his little giggles when we are playing.
Hate: no me time.
