favorite/least favorite about being a mom
My favorite thing about being a mom is the love and trust I get from my baby and the fact I made and gave birth to him, he just loves his mom and always is so dang cute.
the only thing that stresses me right now is he will not take a paci or bottle of any kind from anyone. So some days that is hard but now that hes almost 6 mo next mo, It will get easier with the solids.

Re: favorite/least favorite about being a mom
i love the snuggle time, and i love when he looks up at me and smiles. i also love hearing him laugh and talk.
i hate how hard it is to get out of the house when i need to go somewhere. I also hate that LO is VERY dependent and i can't get much done around the house. this has been worse the past few days because i think the whole separation anxiety is kicking in since he screams when i walk out of the room.
I love the way he smiles every time he sees me. It's like I have just lit up his entire world or something.
I hate how much I worry about everything.
Our LO wont take a bottle either.
The hardest thing for me has been the PPD/PPA and the sleep deprivation. LO is still up 2-3 hours (or less).
My favorite thing is...everything else about him. I love our little family.
My least favorite- colic, hands down. The past 2 weeks have been very rough. And feeding takes sooooo long. I can't tandem feed them
Favorite- Knowing that I will have two someone's to love me and for me to love for the rest of my life. It makes it all worth it on the hard days.
I also love when I am nursing and he looks at me ad smiles with my boob in his mouth haha sooo cute! I do love him so much its crazy:)
I also hear you sawndra on the ppa and ppd feelings. I am sorry about the sleep issue. our babies are close in age, I did cio and it worked so easy and fast and hes sttn again. I know a lot of moms dont like the idea, have yuo tried it. I know it must be hard with the no sleep. I am sorry about that.
also the getting out of the house is a pain. I babysit for money and have to be at their house by 615, soooooooo thats tough haha sometimes but the always worrying even though he sttn I have trouble sleeping because I worry and cant stop THINKING! AHHHHH dang mommy brain!
ooh twin feedings, that would be rough. the first 2 months he nursed 40 min every hour and 20 min! so I was ALWAYS nursing and about to lose my mind(woudlnt and still wont take a bottle or paci!) so its just me doing feedings. But now at 5 mo he east every 3-4 hours for 15 min or less! so 7 ish min each breast and that is great its so much faster
favorite: the never ending snuggles and love I get from DS. Just one smile makes my whole world ok.
least favorite: that DS is needing me to sleep with him and I feel guilty about it. I feel guilty because I'm creating a bad habit and also because I just want 10 minutes to myself, or say 1 hour to watch a TV show but I feel guilty about that too.
This is exactly what I was going to say. I also love being able to watch him grow, and how much he trusts me and needs me.
BFP 11/29 - m/c @ 5w
I love when he lights up when he sees me and his giggles and babbling and when he curls up on me and sleeps.
Least favorite is my lack of sleep, and some degree of freedom/being carefree.
Fav: The smiles and giggles and the closeness that nursing brings
least fav: Earlier this week we had a tornado warning in my town at 2am...I woke up startled by the weather and by the time I got the emergency radio on (no tv signal) all I heard was "take cover now". I grabbed DH and LO and hid in the bathroom downstairs. Luckily the storm passed quickly and everything/one was ok. But I have never felt such a strong protective emotion coupled with complete helplessness like that before. Loving someone that much has it's down sides!
Love: Snuggles, smiles, kisses, playing and watching her grow and learn.
Hate: Lack of sleep.
I love learning about his personality and teaching him stuff.
I hate that my entire identity right now is tied up in being mom and I'm struggling to find a balance.
Favorite: Practically everything about being a mommy. Snuggles, smiles, giggles, I LOVE watching her learn and absorb the things around her, nursing, errand running w/ her, "playing" together, when she recognizes me, getting her out of bed from naps and in the morning.
Least Favorite: Probably cliche, but how fast the time is going. I wish it could go slower.

snuggle time with the baby
My least favorite is going to Costco by myself and trying to shop. I can't wear him cause I need water and every other BIG case of everything. I can't put the carrier in the cart, cause I need the room for the above mentions BIG cases of everything. I can't push a stroller and a cart...I'm just not that talented. He's not sitting up that well by himself to put him in the seat even with a cover.
I love how much we love one another, how snuggling with me makes everything ok. His sweet babbles and laugh though I've only ever heard it twice.
I'm sick of crying and the fact that he refuses to nap any where but on me. I hate that I feel trapped at home because if I take him out he won't nap and then he is a screaming heathen all afternoon. We are talking, end of the world, hold his breath, kind of screeching. I also miss being alone.
lol Can you tell I've had a rough day today?
