At the beginning of my son's life all I wanted was for him to get bigger and stronger and gain weight and grow. I've kept thinking that way be ause I wanted him to "catch up". But this morning I was lying in bed and holding him on my chest. He was sleeping and snoring softly and I realized that I'm wishing away some of the sweetest moments of his life. He's 2 months old today and I can't believe it... He's more than doubled in weight and he is getting more active by the second. Soon he won't be my tiny baby that fits in one arm and sleeps all the time.

Sorry. No real point to this other than the realization that I've been wishing my newborn into a toddler and I need to stop! I'd love to freeze my little cuddled at this stage for a while!!

I had my son at 31 w 5d (so only a few days after you) and I cannot believe how fast the time went. I loved being pregnant and had a really hard time losing out on that. My due date only passed a few days ago and I can't imagine that I could still be pregnant. But this is how our story goes and I think it makes us appreciate things a bit more.

I hope your son grows quickly so he can be home with you though :-)

Excellent point! Even though DD is over 6 pounds now, I often wish for her to be less fragile. But at the same time, she's already changing so fast. No need for time to speed up any more than it is.

Definitely very true! My boys were 2lbs13oz and 3lbs 3oz at birth. Last Wednesday they were 10lbs4oz and 9lbs14oz. They're so wiggly and interactive, I already miss when all they wanted to do was snuggle. But each new phase is so precious and fun. I think the key is to look forward to the future but appreciate this moment.

As if he heard me... He just rolled from his belly to back during tummy time. It was probably a fluke but still!!! Then he started kicking his legs like he was crawling... Noooooo slow down you crazy child!!!!

I have been thinking that a lot lately. DD is getting so big and interactive which is a ton of fun. But...she was sleeping on me the other day and she was getting heavy and her legs hung off of me. She has come so far from when we brought her home but time is going way too fast!

I remember having these same feelings periodically, now as we approach H's 1st birthday there are nearly all the time. It all happens so fast! Savor the squishy baby sweetness and try to stay in the moment as much as possible. It's very hard though!
