I miss my preggie belly. I miss work - aarrrgh I cant believe I said it but its true. I miss the challenge and the adult conversation and debate. I miss the challenge of problem solving and being crazily busy and having to work through it - now its a different challenge of working out why shes not pooing properly or attaching properly etc.

I knew it would be hard - but in that sense of expecting something but not really understanding it IYKWIM.... I never realised how hard a simple trip to coles would be - timing feeds, nappy change, taking and packing a bag...

Lee - I agree with you too - It is hard to go from being the centre of attention in a way when pg (how are you?is the baby kicking? how many weeks are you? have you packed your bags?) to everything being about the baby. My dad forgets to say hi to me when I go over there! And a few times Ive had to fake drop the bottom lip with DH when he comes home because I could swear Ive turned into the Invisible woman!

On the other hand I never expected to love so much and to fall in love every single day. I never expected how I would feel watching my gorgeous DH with my girl...my heart melts every time I hear and see them together. I never knew how protective and selfless I would become as a mother. I never expected to be so proud to call myself a mum and how proud I am whenever I have to say "my daughter" I still pinch myself at times....

Thats enough waffle from me for now - Im getting teary!
