Having a hard time with DS turning 1

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Let me preface this by saying that I'm pretty sure this is the hormones talking...

So DS will be 1 before I know it. All of my friend's kids are turning 1 this week and I can't believe where the time went. He's just getting so big, and doing so much, and learning all kinds of things. I won't have my baby boy anymore. I can't wait for this next little boy to be born so I can have a little baby again. I don't know what I'm going to do when the boys are older and we're done having babies. This year has flown by. It makes me so sad because at some point he'll be too big to cuddle with me and I won't be his world anymore.I can't even remember the sleep deprivation, stressful days and general craziness. I don't know if I'll be able to stop after this next one is born. How do you go without having a baby? At this rate, I'll rival the Duggars. How are you dealing?

    Hugs to you.  I'm feeling the stress of him turning one also.  I know the day of his party and the day of his actual birthday I'll probably shed a few tears, because this year has gone so fast, and he has changed so much.  I deal with it logically - telling me that he has to grow up, there is no magic time stopper, and that because he is growing so well, and advancing so much, that I am doing exactly what I should be doing as his mom.  I would do more damage to him trying to keep him a baby than good.

    It's still hard, but logic usually wins in this case.

    It's bitter sweet. I loved cuddling her as a tiny baby, but at the same time, I love watching her grow and learn. This may be our only child due to some infertility issues we have experienced. (It took us 2 years and expensive shots to have DD). Sometimes it makes me sad that she could be our only one and she is growing up so fast, but at the same time, I love seeing the world through her eyes and I am so proud of each new milestone she meets.

    DH is really ticked off at the new Dreft commercial.  It says something to the effect, "You have a child forever, but a baby for only a year".  He heard that the first time the other night, looked at me, and said - 'Is that true?  She isn't a baby after her 1st birthday'.  He actually looked crushed.  I thought it was so sweet.  I told him that she would officially be a 'toddler', but that DD would be his baby forever and not to listen to silly laundry detergent commercials.  :)

    Well I don't have another on the way (we haven't decided yet) but I'm all of sudden feeling emotional about her birthday this week.  Part of it is about this amazing milestone and little girl and part of it is my being a big old introvert and feeling angst over having all the grandparents (read only grandchild to all 6 of them) and our 2 siblings over for her party.  I don't like being the center of attention and I just want to steal her all to myself. 

    Guess that's how I'm dealing (or not) with it.
