Do you/did you

Feel really special when you had a tiny little baby?

I always notice how much attention I get when I have a baby. More people stop and speak to me,random people stop me to ask questions about her. It seems to goes as they get older. No one ever stops and asks questions about the boys now they are a lot older LOL

Honestly, I think what I like most about small babies is that I never feel angry with them. I get frustrated, but there's nothing to be angry about, so it's a love fest 24/7. I adore my older children, but I hate feeling mad at them, especially when I can remember staring at them, unable to even conceive of feeling any feeling other than love and awe.

I kind of got annoyed by all the people stopping to look at the baby and talk to me about her actually. LOL I wanted to just go out and do whatever I went to do and go home. But I enjoyed it some of the times. I love new babies.

Kristen!! I feel the exact same way! I was just thinking about that last night, I know exactly what you mean. I hate being angry with Taj, but he's just so hard to handle sometimes. Then I think back to when he was Jonah's size, or even just a year old, and I never had any reason to be angry with him. I miss that.

Loks gets alot of attention being a carried baby at school- no one really likes to get in the way of a pram but everyone talks to Loki as he is up at chest height and smiling at people LOL

I have to say the attention i draw sometimes leaves me feeling uneasy/judged as most of it is "ohhh i don't know how you do it 3 so close in age AND her" (her meaning dd1 age 9) and i sometimes feel like i'm being judged although generally i have to admit they do say it out of lack of other things to say and the most noticable thing about me is having 3 kids nursery age and under.

Nah... lol.. I'm hermit lady so too much attention from strangers freaks me out. Plus, I never have understood why perfect strangers think it's ok to just walk up and breath all over my kids and ask questions that are none of their business. But..that's just how I am ;)... not necessarily the most 'social' of people ;).

Special.. yes I felt special.. but simply because I just had a baby. Little ol' me.. I made a whole person(4 times!)! A whole, new, little, perfect person.

And I'm with Kristen too. I find it easier to remember the moments from when my older 2 boys were little, when I have a little baby in the house. It's so strange to think of how things were with them when they were tiny little guys..... to us arguing half the time and me having to explain to them WHY cleaning their room is good for them. Lordy be!!! Whhyyy did they have to get my analytical, questioning personality traits? Why did they have to get my stubborness and willingness to speak their minds? LOL obviously I want them to go for the gold in life and never back down, but.. um.. not to ME!! lmbo
