I made the very stupid decision to finally put away all of my maternity clothes and put away DS's 3-6 and some of his 6-9 clothes. It was too much... emotionally. Let me first say, I was not a fan of being pregnant. I didn't hate it, I just didn't love it. What I do miss is the excitrment of it all. Wondering if it wouldn't be a boy or a girl. Dreaming of what he would look like. Thinking about how I would feel the first time I held my baby boy in my arms. Would child birth be as awful as I had imagined... I also miss feeling a baby kick from the inside. I never dreamed I would miss any of this. Then, as I took my maternity clothes out of the closet I was suddenly flooded with sadness. A part of me wanted to get pregnant again right now. The practical side of me knows it will be best to wait until DS is at least 2. I definitely didn't expect any of this.
Putting away DS's clothes was a way of me excepting that he's growing. Every signle day. I just can't figure out what happened to my little baby who just slept in my arms for hours a day. Now he's sitting and playing and waving and kissing. I love all of it, but I never truly understood how fast it would go...
Dare I say I want another baby sooner rather then later?

The Chaos of Six!
Aw! I'm sorry to hear that was so rough for you! For some reason I haven't had that yet-I'm sure DH is happy about that so that I don't get the urge for #2 yet! LOL
Also...I've got some ideas about your hat...what if I did it similar to the one you showed me, but without the ear flaps like you said. Then do a cream snout that kind of sticks out a little and a black button on the end for the nose(sewn on really really well so that your DS doesn't eat it) and 2 bigger buttons above the snout for the eyes.
Also, are you wanting a 6-9 month size or a 9-12 month (yeah, I know sorry to talk about such big sizes for your DS while you're already having meltdowns that he's growing!
)
Love the idea! As for size... well.. DS has a BIG head. He's in the 98th percentile. To give you a good idea, we bought him an adorable knit had and gloves set a few weeks back on sale at A Children's Place. We had to buy a size 3T. Yeah. If it's easier, I can measure his head tonight. Let me know
And thank you! I'm so excited!
Holy Geez!!! Sounds like your DS is just like mine! (except yours might be even bigger than mine!) If you could measure that would be great-I'd hate to make it too small! Let me know!
Thanks bunches, can't wait until I have something to show yoU!
