Anyone else?

feel like it would have been nice to be warned about how hard this whole new life is?  I LOVE IT!!!  Don't get me wrong, but it's like a roller coaster of emotions.  I'm jealous of people who are in their prepregnancy clothes (but I only have myself to blame, I have only worked out twice) and of LO's who are sleeping through the night.  DH and I haven't had much time to ourselves and that is hard to get used to.  I wouldn't change having LO for anything in the world, I just wish I would have been more prepared for the hot mess that happens after pregnancy!

I had a warning from a lot of people but didn't listen because I thought they were full of crap and just being negative. I don't think anyone can ever truly realize how much your life will change until it happens to them. It is definitely harder than I thought but so wonderful. I also could have NEVER even imagined how much I could love my baby, and how much my mother has loved me my whole life. Having a baby definitely is a life changer!

Yes, when people told me I guess I didn't listen.  But no one told me about all the emotions, just that it changes your life.  For the better, but I can't believe all the emotions lol

I don't think anyone can warn you. Once that baby is in your arms, the overwhelming rush of emotion is indescribable.

I feel the opposite. Everyone always makes it out to seem so terrible but its really not.

This! While our lives are completely different now, it's really a great thing. C fits in so nicely, it's like we've had her all of our lives.

 What I have learned since I got pregnant is that everyones experience is different. I HATED being pregnant. I mean REALLY HATED it. So many people told me how much they loved being pregnant and how it's such a magical experience, but all I could think about was getting this kid out of me. I felt guilty for not enjoying it, but then again how could I enjoy being pregnant when I had morning sickness all day long from 5 weeks until the morning I delivered. I was so afraid that I wasn't cut out for motherhood because who doesn't love the miracle of producing life, but then he arrived and the magic began. I loved him more then I have every loved anyone or anything in my life. Like the PP said, our LO fit into our world like he'd alway been there. Knock on wood, our LO is an angel. I'm sure it helps that he sleeps great, and is a happy and health baby.

He's only 8 weeks old, but it feels like we have our own little language. I totally get him and he seems to get me too. Not sure if it normal, but I talk to him like he completely understands me. Example, when he's screaming bloody murder because he's hungry, If I ask him " are you hungry?" he stops (at least for a second) and looks at me. I've asked him this every time I thought he was hungry since the day he was born and now it almost feels like he is telling me, "yes mommy, matter of fact I am." Is that possible? Could he really already understand something like that?

Agreed. Maybe it's because everyone was saying it would be hard? I was prepared for the first, but everything's been really easy.
