emotional wreck

in September 2015 Moms
My son is a week old today and I'm so emotional. I don't want him to grow up or get big I want him to stay his current size for the rest of his life.
I posted a video on instagram and it set off a waterfall, I love being a mommy.

    I hear that!! my parents were over this weekend, we were sitting around holding the baby, and my dad said "you know, we're just sitting here waiting for her to grow up." (he was trying to be funny.) I told him NOOOO, I don't EVER want her to grow up!! she is already getting so big and she's only a week and a half! I want her to stay little forever!!

    It's so sad to think about! All these perfect little babies have no way to go but up. They'll never be this small or young again. My son is perfect and I know he always will be but I don't want these moments to end

    Had the same thought cross my mind today while feeding her. On one hand I want to make sure she gains weight and gets strong, on the other I want her to be my tiny newborn forever.

    I was looking through her baby book today, and I just started sobbing. It has a place to put a lock of hair from her first haircut, places to put pictures from her first birthday party, and so on.
    I just want her to stay this little! Because now I can call her things like "Babycakes" or "munchkin"
    I know when she's older, she won't let me call her that :((

    Me too! I met a friend for coffee today and she commented on her good size (we both had slow-gaining first babies), and I said that she was growing too fast!! I think it's hitting me that it's my last baby :( I'm going to be a sobbing mess when I give away the newborn stuff.

    My last baby too. I didn't struggle so much with these feelings with my other children but because she's our last I'm a weepy mess this time.

    Oh I needed to hear other mommies lament about this... My sister had a hard time with her last, and I remember thinking she was being a bit of a drama queen, but now I totally get it. Little man is 9 days old today and he's too big already! I want him to stay the perfect sweet newborn just a little longer... I want my maternity leave to last forever... I definitely do NOT want to give away any of his newborn things! It's hard to think I won't have another after this. :((

    I feel the opposite, I can't wait for LO to get a little bigger and be a little more fun. She doesn't do much more than sleep and while I do sit and watch her sleep, I can't wait for her to be more alert and the hear her giggle and coo and laugh. I get really emotional when I think of anything bad happening to her. I'm a big worrier so unfortunately those thought sometimes cross my mind and I instantly start crying.
