[quote=Anonymous]I am still in the thick of it (9.5 months) but I can totally relate. I am a worrier by nature, as well as too concerned about milestones, etc. No health problems (knock on wood) though he came 3 weeks early by scheduled c-section for placenta previa so my anxiety was increased from the very beginning.

I love my son and think he's awesome but I haven't yet had the "motherhood is the best thing that ever happened to me" feelings. The first few months I had a lot of "what the hell have I done, we had such a great life before." That has faded considerably as we've settled into this new life.

FWIW, my husband does think DS is the best thing that ever happened to him. He is constantly randomly stating "I love that kid!" He is incredibly involved and helpful but I think the upheaval in mom's life with breastfeeding, likely being responsible 24/7 for the first few months if not longer, etc is particularly tough.

Hang in there. As everyone says, as the kid gets more interactive and less needy, it gets a ton easier. [/quote]
