Do you ever look at your newborn and realize...?

Question

That no matter how much time passes, no matter how old he gets, or how much you age, how many years pass, that you will always look at his eyes and see that precious little newborn face?

Its so unreal how much you can love such a needy crying person who deprives you of sleep and sanity.

Do you mom's of grown children still see them as your little babies? Are you any less in love with them now, even after all the hard trying times you went through raising them?

Answer 1

My youngest son is 21, no, not now days, I think of him as a toddler and a teen ager. They will always be your baby. I do remember laying him on the bed to change his diaper when we came home from the hospital, after his birth, and he peed in his daddys face.

Answer 2

My daughter is far from grown (26months), but yes, sometimes when I look at her, I still see her newborn face. All mushes from delivery, and getting red in the face crying a few weeks later because I, apparently broke some sort of "baby law" by putting her down to take a shower (lol).
When I rock her now, if she's sick, and she's laying there in my arms sucking her thumb, I get glimpses of the 18 months her and I spent in the very same chair while she nursed.
I have a lot more years of trial and error, and frustrations to go thru with her... but I think that you always remember how that little person was in the very beginning :)

Answer 3

Every once in a while I look at my 4-year old boy and realize that he isn't a baby anymore.

Good thing that I have knocked up my wife again so we can have a second.

People always say how quickly time passes when you become a parent - I never believed it until I became a parent myself. The past 4+ years have been amazing - despite the lost sleep due to illness, the diapers, vomit, etc.

I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything else.

Answer 4

Ooooohhhh.... Someone is getting mushy over her new baby!!!!

So far, in my 10 months of being a mommy, it only gets mushier as time goes on! I love her more and more everyday. These little ones are really amazing, aren't they? I never thought I could love so much it practically makes my heart explode!

Answer 5

Oh yeah, its permanent. Your love struck and it aint goin away. I've been all moony for 7 years now (and 5, and 3) the fabulousness never goes away. Just look at a sleeping child and you cant help creeping in and kissing them on their cute liitle forheads. Well, happy valentines and congrats on the baby. Just love him as much as you want!

Answer 6

I was wondering why my parents never believed I had grown up... this is until I had my daughter last year. It is a great feeling to be a mom and I won't change it with the world.

Answer 7

My baby is 6 now and doesn't like to be called the baby, but I said his grandmother still calls his dad her baby boy and he will always be my baby too no matter what. Congratulations on becoming a mother!

Answer 8

No..I really dont see my kids as my little babies. My oldest is 12 and I view her as a blossoming young woman and I view my 8 year old as a few short years away from the life changing experience of growing up (puberty)

Love is always there but many more issues and emotions pop up as the kids get older.

Answer 9

My daughter will be 17 months old next week and it seems like she has grown up so fast, too fast sheis so smart and I just cant believe all of the things she can do, she amazes me everday. Children are wonderful.

Answer 10

i do know what your talking about and no your love wont fade it will grow with the child change with him but never leave nor fade
and yes you will have the ability to remember him as a baby for the rest of your life.
