Okay, so maybe I'm just in new baby euphoria time, but yesterday as I was thinking about my feelings when Ty was a newborn and how they compared to my feelings right now, I realized an interesting difference. With Ty, for me, it was all about waiting for him to get to the next milestone (when's he going to roll over? when's he going to be able to eat baby food? when's he going to walk?, etc.). Not that I didn't enjoy all of those moments, but I was always focused on him making progress. This time, with Megan, all I want to do is enjoy each moment. I guess maybe I now know how fast everything goes. And to think I didn't think I liked the newborn phase...
Anyone have similar experiences?

Teri-
I've said that same thing DOZENS of times since Ainsley was born!!!! It is crazy! I must've said a hundred times before she was born, "I'm just not a fan of the newborn stuff..." WHATEVER!! With Ainsley, I LOVED the newborn stuff...It is WAY easier to sit back, relax, let the house get messier, and ENJOY the "stages" with #2! It's good that you're realizing that so quickly...so, I've got those "baby girl winter clothes"...do you still want them?
That's how it was for me too. I never really thought about it that way but that's what it was.
I have to keep telling myself to pause to enjoy things the way they are now, so thanks for the reminder. I get a little sad when I see how much my girls have grown already in their first almost 3 months. On the other hand, I can't wait until they start sleeping through the night!
Teri - Thanks for sharing the differences. As we are expecting now, I also found some differences during the expecting time. Besides trying to enjoy the moments of pregancy, we are learning to control our excitment and worries, and focusing on helping the 1st one transition. I guess experience really helps!
