I'm pregnant with our 3rd. I am not in a hurry because I want to cherish the miracle of pregnancy. But, I do love reading your posts and remembering when my DSs were itty bitty and I also love thinking ahead to when I will have my son/daughter in my arms. And it goes so fast. I was so exhausted it was hard to cherish that season. I regret that a bit. This time I am determined to enjoy each season (and not to focus as much on the difficulties)
Congratulations to all on your sweet babies.
Re: Lurking: I love reading the baby posts
Lol, they don't stay that little for long. Soon, they start sleeping better and are less dependent. It doesn't last forever. Hang in there.

I know I do!
Surely you are only remembering to good times!
I am not a fan of newborns at all. If I could I would skip the end of the 3rd trimester, labor/delivery, and first 3 months altogether. With that said, I will do it again for a 2nd child.
You have an amazingly positive outlook! Good luck!
Of course I remember the difficult times (I've been through it twice!) I just now have a 2 year old and a 4 year old (I don't pretend its easy-haha! with them now! But it is interesting) and I am realizing that they will never be tiny again and I can't pause or turn back time with them. I thought the way you are now "I would skip this if I could" but looking back, I regret it because it made me miss out on the beauty and miracle of the time. You may not understand or agree, but in my mind, every season is a treasure and I am enjoying it (heck, I am in first tri with m/s and all that jazz, I'm not naive, just sentimental)
