Having a hard time with 1st birthday...

in December 2010 Moms

I have no idea why, but this past week I've been feeling really sad and emotional! I feel like I should be feeling celebratory, with M's first birthday being tomorrow. One year ago today, my water broke and I went into labor. Thinking about that, I have had a hard time keeping it together! My drive in to work left me teary-eyed and feeling emotional and sadder than I think I should be feeling. I didn't realize I would have such a hard time with this. Anyone else feeling especially emotional this month?

    The same thing happened to me. I was really sad about him turning 1, and got weepy a lot. On his bday when I took him out of the crib and said "happy birthday little man" I lost it. But after I had that cry, I was pretty ok. Hang in there mama.

    You are not alone. =(

    I was just folding DD's clothes and zoning out. Was just thinking that Saturday (the day of her party) is the last day of her being an infant. She will officially be a toddler on Sunday!

    I definitely got emo during his party, and I was holding his little smash cake and all of our family was singing to him....surrounded by those who love him. Crying

    Same thing happened to me and I couldn't figure out why.  Drove me nuts because I couldn't fix it.  It'll get better, I promise!

    We don't have babies anymore, they're becoming toddlers.  It's weird coming from a "non-baby" person who just wanted to skip straight to her 3rd birthday but it makes me so sad.  Last night I stared at a newborn pic of her, thinking how she looks so different now and how much she has changed.  It doesn't make me want another, it makes me want to keep her in a jar in this tiny little baby stage for ever and ever...

    I've been the same way for a few weeks.  Just thinking that a year and 9 days ago I was having an emergency c-section and we had no idea what was going to happen with DD being so early.  We were totally shocked that our Feb 2011 baby turned into our Dec 2010 baby.

    yep every time someone mentions it I say "shhh" in a kind of half joking way but really it's just to change the subject and prevent me from crying. I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time with it either.

    If the fact that your post alone made me cry says anything...   Our LO's share a birthday!  I can't believe my itty bitty baby is a year old tomorrow!  I saw an infant at the pedi the other day, there for their first checkup, and I almost lost it.

    I am feeling a little sad and reminiscing a lot lately.  Isaac's b-day is Saturday and my youngest daughter turns 3 at the end of the month.  They are growing up so fast.  Isaac is no longer going to be a baby.  My daughter seems to grow up a little more every day.  I love watching my kids grow and change, but Isaac is my last and I know he won't be little for long.Sad

    ... It's made my baby fever worst. Every time come across a "growing baby" ticker I want another one!

    I guess I'm the oddball (already knew this lol) but I haven't been all that emo about her turning one in fact I'm just having so much fun with her now, learning to stand solo and walk and forming real vocabulary. Eating dinner as family at the table... good lord I'm a dork anyhow.... moving on...  

    ((((Big Hugs)))) lady it's perfectly normal to feel bummed about your little love growing up.

    I've been getting choked up thinking about it for about the past 6 months! I cried when my friend's son turned 1 last week. I think I'll be a mess on his actual birthday.
