I never at all understood the previous posts in here about people being sad their baby is growing up so fast... until yesterday. My baby has reached a couple big milestones literally overnight in the past couple days and it just threw me in a loop. It was one thing after another and although I was happy she reached her milestones, I couldn’t help but feel my heart sink a little.

I just wasn’t ready. I was expecting them to be more gradual and, well, expected. But instead they were sudden and surprising. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I wouldn’t mind going back to that chaotic period of trying to take care of a newborn, just to hold her that small again.

Just wanted to say I’m finally right with you mamas and my heart is aching bittersweetly ♥️
