Re: When your LO grows up...
I'm terrified of the teenaged years. LOL But I'm also looking forward to the older teenage years. 14-16 were my hardest years, so I think I'm projecting that onto Alice already. Those are the years I fear. I am looking forward to 16 and older though.
I am also looking forward to early school aged. Basically everything up to when the hormones start raging, and everything after the hormones calm down a bit.
After 7 years of no ovulation...

Haha Same!!! I wish I could skip past those few years!!! lol I just keep telling myself it is only a phase and pray that with our guidance and support she will be a great young woman one day
But for now I'm excited for her to be a toddler and start talking!!

Ever since I found out I was having a little boy I have been looking forward to playing with Legos. I know that is totally random, but I loved them so much as a kid I can't wait to share that with him. I just hope he likes to build as much as I did.
In the older years I just think it will be exciting to see what type of person he grows up to be. I try not to project too much of what I wanted for myself, but it is hard not to sometimes. I've always been a super stressy type A, so I have no idea how I am going to relate if he turns out to be a laid back free spirit, but I'm excited to find out.

The scientist in me is really looking forward to teaching him all sorts of geeky stuff (growing tadpoles into frogs, splunking through mud/dirt - its good I have a boy) and how to handle the animals (we have a farm), teach him to ride, and garden. When he's a teen I want to take him traveling, we never did when I was a kid and I wish we had, see the grand canyon, the redwoods. I want to take him to Italy to where my great grandparents came from. When he's grown, well I just want him to be happy and balanced.
I'm just really excited for all her firsts still! Like when she starts crawling, walks, her first words, when she reads her first book...
I'm also excited to have that mother-daughter relationship. I'm close with my mom so I'm hoping she will know she can always come to me for anything and we can just hang out. But I know DH and I are definitely a bit scared of the teenage years. We're already talking about it and how we'd handle different situations!
In the end though, I'm just looking forward to watching her grow up and seeing her personality show through and all that fun stuff.
I keep telling DH that he's in charge from 1 to 10, then I'll take over. Those are the ages I dread, and he's down right scared of the teenage years.

I loved playing with Legos, too! We will totally be playing Legos with DD (if she's into it), and not those stupid ones they launched for girls, either. Girls can have toys that aren't beauty parlors!
DH and I are excited for science-y stuff, too! And dirt is a must for all kids.
This sounds AWESOME.
Me, too, on the firsts! I also don't have a super great relationship with my mom, so this is something I'm really looking forward to. I want to have with her what I don't have... and hope I won't pressure her too much.
Oh, yes. I bought Peter Pan before she was born to read to DD when she's a little older, and I'm already plotting for more things. I loved Roald Dahl, too.
ROFL. I had a Women's Studies teacher who always talked to her kids about having a "partner" when they got older because she wanted them to feel comfortable with whatever their sexuality was, and they got to be teenagers and teased her (in a light-hearted way) about how much she wanted a gay child. She was an awesome mom.
