Re: With all the PPD questions, I have a question for BTDT moms... Warning - I am going to get a little heavy here
I know what you are talking about, I have had similar thoughts. TJ loves laying on me and I am constantly hugging and kissing him. I talk to him and tell him " I have to kiss him as much as I can now b/c one day he won't want kisses from his mommy anymore b/c he will be embarrassed." Than I think about how jealous I will be when he is older and has a girlfriend and doesnt have time for his mommy anymore. Silly, I know. But I dont want him to grow up either.

I LOOOOVE kissing Cailen - I know what you mean - but thats what happens - I will be kissing him now, and at the same time I'm picturing him at 4 yrs old rubbing my kisses off and saying "yuck"

Re: With all the PPD questions, I have a question for BTDT moms... Warning - I am going to get a little heavy here
I just want to thank you for posting this.
Sometimes when my anxiety is so bad and Matty is having a bad day I've actually wished for him to be 3 years old- so we could talk to each other, really play with him and he could cuddle with me in bed on his bad nights and I wouldn't worry about rolling over or the blankets going over his head....I guess I was thinking it would be easier as he is a little older which probably isn't true anyway as each age comes with its own issues.
Thank you for posting this and for reminding me to treasure each moment with my little man, even on bad days.....

this is why I made a promise to myself before he was born...
I never wished a moment of my pregnancy away even when my morning sickness was bad because I knew it would be over before I knew it.
I also vowed that no matter how much he cried, how little he slept, I would NEVER wish him to be a minute older - it will happen soon enough without me wishing for it.
Sometimes I catch myself saying - when he is 6 mts, he'll be able to... and then I stop myself. He is already 5 wks old - 6 mts will come sooner than I want it to...

Re: With all the PPD questions, I have a question for BTDT moms... Warning - I am going to get a little heavy here
I have had many of these thoughts as well. In the beginning I worried way too much that I may die and miss her growing up. My DH lost his both of his parents (his dad died when he was 9; his mom just before we met) and it makes me worry even more that something may happen to either one of us and DD will have to grow up without one of us. But I try to stop myself and treasure every moment with her. It's definitely gotten better.

Re: With all the PPD questions, I have a question for BTDT moms... Warning - I am going to get a little heavy here
I thought I would love thinking about Emma getting older, and being able to do things. There is so much I want to show her, and do with her. But then I get overwhelmed when I think of her driving, finishing high school, getting married herself and having her own babies. And I wonder if I'll be around to see it.
It's easy for me to block those thoughts of her growing up- it's harder for me to get past the day to day anxiety and the what-ifs. Yesterday I started writing a journal to her because I want her to know how much I love her, so if something were to happen to me she has a way of knowing me.

Im very much with you on all of this- In the begginnig I was so freaked out about not being with him constantly that I would literally never leave his side. I would also think about dying and him growing up all the time. It has gotten better over time and as the hormones evened out a bit but it still comes and goes... Im just such an anxious person that even when things are perfect i find something to worry about- I know no life without worry
