Super emotional

Shine2015 · May 2012

I don't know why but I am super emotional about G turning one. Everytime I think about it I want to cry. I am so happy that he is going to be a year old, that he's growing and learning to do new things everyday. But I am also VERY sad that he is growing so fast and won't be my little baby anymore. DH has been really supportive of me and my feelings but sometimes I think he just wants to laugh at me for being so emotional because he thinks I'm silly because he just doesn't get it.

And it doesn't help that everytime I think I am getting the hang of this mom thing, something happens and I feel like I'm never gonna get it. So then of course that makes me feel like I can't do this and that makes me want to cry. No wonder I think DH wants to laugh at me, I cry at just about everything now it seems. Oh well, I guess I'm just hoping that there are others like me out there so I don't feel all alone with these crazy feelings.

I know how you feel. My girls just turned one, and while it is wonderful, I am also really sad that I probably will never have a little baby again.

I now understand why everyone told me " cherish every moment, they grow up so fast!." I didn't realize how much they meant that.

It is such a roller coaster of emotions. You're not alone, that's for sure!! I remember the same feelings with number one - you think you're getting the hang of it and then you have a couple of days where you wonder what in the world did we do and I will never do it again. I have been dealing with this with number 2 in that she is our last. I put away the infant swing yesterday - so weird and sad to think, "no more infants in this house".

I feel the same way. It is so exciting that they are growing up and meeting milestones and becoming little people, but at the same time it makes us cry that our baby isn't really our little baby anymore. Maybe that's why people say moms are crazy.

I am like you--so emotional! Of course I love seeing her grow up but I love having a baby too and those days are numbered!

I started getting all emotional about it the other day and DH just didn't get it. I told him he was dead inside. Stick out tongue

I am extremely emotional about it. I just dont let anyone see because nobody will get it! Its kinda frustrating and lonely.... The few people that I have left that I am close too do not have kids and they dont get it. DH is just soul-less. LOL! He compeltely doesnt get it.....

Thank god for this board! At least we have eachother!

You might all laugh at me, but I am glad I am not the only one being emotional lately. I just posted one about Mother's Day weekend before reading all these other posts. DS is starting to walk...took 5 steps the other night. I think this is also another reason why I have been so emotional on top of it being Mother's Day tomorrow. I am with you about not letting anyone else see. DH is gone all day at a softball tournament and I have cried 2 or 3 times today. It seems so silly.

You are so not alone. I am an emotional person to begin with and am really having a hard time keeping it together lately! DD will be one year a week from today. It seems impossible to me. We are going back to NJ for her party and the whole planning process has me in tears. lol. I made a video and cry every. single. time. I watch it. I know everyone told me it would go fast and to cherish every moment, but I had no idea HOW fast it would go.
