I think I'm broken. Seeing dapostrophe's sweet baby girl makes me think that I'd like to hold her and give her some snuggles, but also reminds me of countless sleepless nights, so much crying (from both me and baby), recovering from delivery, etc and in no way makes me want to have another. Everytime there's another baby and everyone says they think they're ready, I'm just sitting here like 'nah, I'm good.' :-)

I was a couple days late on my last cycle and was having a panic attack.  Lol.  

I really need MH to get snipped.

Come on Mr T, it is time

She's beautiful!

Pee, slenle!

Yeah - all of a sudden B ‘grew up’. I feel like it happened over over and I miss my little baby. This last group of N 13 siblings has really made me wish we could have another!!

But alas, I will live vicariously through you all. So come on! We need our next group of pregnancies/babies!! Who’s up next?!?

Welll.... I’m on CD 33. AF was supposed to show up 2 days ago. I’ll keep you posted. Lol

Exciting!!! Testing anytime soon?!?

[slenle]

Ha! I’ll pee tomorrow if needed but don’t get your hopes up. I’m feeling pretty bloated today so I think it’s coming.

This cycle I showed MH my app that had in bold "YOU'RE 5 DAYS LATE." I was a bit freaked out and tested the next morning. Negative. I waited for him to ask for results because I wanted him to sweat it and worry a little. Women have to deal with that anxiety frequently. Men get to be blissfully ignorant much of the time but I let him sit with it for a while since it could have been avoided with a little snip-snip and a weekend whining with a bag of frozen peas resting on his nuts.

She is absolutely stunning dapostrophe. Congratulations.

mwhip, if you're broken I am too. Every now and then I get the slightest twinge or think "what it." Mostly I think glad I'm done with that phase and looking forward to having kids old enough to go on adventures with us.

Going to check today's daily for pee updates slenle.

I feel this, even though I have more than one, obviously. I'm not at all a fan of the newborn phase. I love the toddler years. I like them better once they start communicating by means other than screaming/crying.

I have zero baby feels. Like I’ll touch a foot out of obligation but that’s it. I did get a thinge though while holding trtlcrzy’S S and holding hands with her.

[wineallthetime]

I have baby feels and I have a baby who is only a tiny bit bigger than dapostrophe's 1 day old! I love newborns....for the most part.

[trtlcrzy]

I love babies, esp newborn to 6 months. Once they turn 3, that’s when they become difficult to me.

[nam2013]

I love newborn babies, I love toddlers and kindergarteners. Although if we ever get a third I do need him/her to scream a little less than dd, she was a challenge to say the least.

[guster]

I would love a house full of 3 to 6-year-olds! I found the baby stage fun and sweet, but challenging with a toddler already in the house.

[xolastunicornxo]

I love newborns and babies. Give me all the babies!!

[mwhip]

Lol, yes, I'm broken. There is nothing about the last 4 1/2 years that I would say I LOVED. I don't enjoy the crying, the diapers, the not being able to communicate, the sassiness, the tantrums, arguing with a small version of myself. Maybe I just mentally block the good stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I love my kid more than anything, but there just isn't much that would ever make me want to do it again. I guess I do love when she grabs my hand, and when she calls me 'mama.' Well, at least the first them, then she just keeps repeating it. And it drives me nuts.

Exact same.

[joelies]

I admit to getting sad watching Chase turn more into a kid, despite not loving the newborn phase. I actually LOVE the age he's in, too, it's just the recognition that time is flying by. They'll be moving out before I know it.

[dapostrophe]

Just make sure the vasectomy "takes" you guys! H still has to schedule his second one. After the state my poor nether regions are currently in, I do not feel bad for him one bit!

I love babies, toddlers, kids, teens and big families but DO NOT love pregnancy. That was honestly my deciding factor for stopping at 4, but now that it's over I'm glad this LO snuck in 😉

I am weird and think about how I'm excited to be a grandma someday to (hopefully) a million grandbabies.

[chrisy01]

I love all the stages. I didn't mind being pregnant with LO but this time has been a lot harder. If my pregnancy with LO had been this bad I wouldn't have wanted to have another one.

However I'm sure once I have E I will probably say it wasn't that bad. Who knows. But we are for sure two and through. C will be getting a vasectomy scheduled once we're home with E. he would have had it done already but I wanted him to wait.

[inthekitty]

I love all the stages but in doses. I love newborn snuggles and more or less had "easy" newborns aside from bot sleeping. But they could usually be comforted in some way even if thateant holding them a lot. They didn't cry excessively often. But I need to be live-in nanny rich so when I'm at my wit's end and they're being a-holes or I'm just exhausted Helga can take over.

[cagoldi]

I did like the newborn phase with X, but he was a unicorn baby. I could do that five more times if every baby was that easy.

[wineallthetime]

Yesterday I said I love the newborn stage, so naturally A was up from 12-3:30. Smooth move, A. I still love the newborn stage though!

Glad I'm not the only one. When we talk about our house I'm always like "we'll be able to have lots of beds so all the kids can come stay with their families and everyone will be comfortable!" A rolls his eyes.

I miss the baby phase so much. I also can't wait for grandbabies, however, I am already sad b/c I loved being the "mom" in the baby phase. Being the one they needed the most, being the one who is just with them 24/7 (for me at least, b/c that's what I wanted). Being a grandma will be fun, but not the same. Plus I worry that I will be too old to really enjoy it.

I don't love the 4 year old phase as much. Don't get me wrong, I love S to death, but I really love like birth -18 months the best.
