I don't remember DD being a newborn

uptonogood · May 2011

One of my co-workers just brought in her 2 week old. She's so tiny! I swear I don't remember DD being that small. More than that, my DD was over a pound smaller than hers is now! I don't remember any of this! So I was just thinking about the 2 months of DD's life and I don't really remember any of it. I have tons of pictures and that's all the memory I have. Even those don't feel "real." How is that possible? How do I not remember any of that? Does anyone else experience this? I feel like a horrible mom.

It seems foggy looking back. I remember her being small, but not very well. Pictures help, lol.

It's really a blur for me too. My sister had a baby last week and I couldn't get over how ridiculously tiny she looked. Holding her was like balancing a feather on my arm. Pics and video are great for memory loss lol.

I feel the same way. I figure it's my mind's way of suckering me into wanting more kids. Not happening.

i am having the same problem. I am getting pictures ready for his b-day party, and I keep thinking, how was he ever that small.

I also don't really remember life with him as a new born. He is so active now that it is really foggy remembering the days where he slept all the time and snuggled in my arms.

I would guess this is one reason so many people have LO's so close together. They start to miss the little squishy baby and want another one.

Yup. Except it worked for me. That and forgetting how bad it sucked to throw up all day everyday for 9 months.

Our lives were chaos when J was born because of the big move and DH starting his new job. Somedays I feel like I didn't get to enjoy it, and for the life of me I barely remember it.

Makes me want another baby....

EEK!

This is exactly why parents can't remember the newborn stage. If they could they would never have another baby!

This is EXACTLY what I said to my co-worker. I was so in love with the teeny tiny and said that it makes me want another baby. But that is NOT happening.

I don't either. Even when I look at pictures, it seems like another person with another baby. Very strange!

Same!

I went into Barnes and Noble the other day and a gal was with her newborn who was 7lbs. And, that newborn looked SO SMALL. I don't remember M being that small. But, M was actually only 4.5 lbs when she was born and didn't hit 7 lbs until almost 2 months. So, yeah, don't remember at all.
