I'm falling head over heals, madly in love with my DD! After a really tough first 12 weeks of survival mode & recovery the last couple of weeks have been so delightful and such a revelation. I felt so guilty for not instantly loving her, after wanting her for so so long, but now its all falling into place and I just can't get enough of her. I even want to wake her from sleeps to see that gorgeous smile when she realises its me and to give her kisses all over.
I am such a lucky woman.

Awwww! That's sooooo Beautiful! You ARE a very lucky woman and your daughter is one very lucky little girl to have such a wonderful Mummy who loves her to no end.
Congratulations! xx
i think after trying for so long, you get stuck in the mindset of wanting something but forget to switch over for a while to "wow, i have it now" and appreciating it - and like you said, those first couple of months are really full on. it's gorgeous that you're getting to know your princess and you're falling in love with her all over again (cos i'm pretty sure oyu fell in love with her on the inside!) - it's an amazing rollercoaster ride
but don't wake her - you'll regret it lol
Soooo happy for you dusty!! and it keeps getting better - my DD is 2 and I am still more besotted with her every day :loveshower:
Naw, I'm all teary. And yeah, sometimes I just lie and watch my DS and breathe him in. He's intoxicating. And hilarious. And awesome. And delightful.
Sorry, what were we talking about? Oh yes, your DD. She is beautiful and a lucky little girl to have you as her mother. Freeze frame anyone?
hun, it's great that you're really able to enjoy it all now. You had a lot to deal with in the first weeks, and I think it's a difficult time for any new parent. I am so glad you have come out the other side :hug:
Your little girl is absolutely gorgeous and I'm not at all surprised that you can't get enough of her smile. Please give her a cuddle for me.
Don't feel guilty for not feeling like this sooner :hug: It is a beautiful thing to experience no matter at what stage you get it :) And really, what's not to love about her? She's gorgeous!
That's so nice to hear! She is very cute, such a cheeky smile!
Awwww, that's lovely :loveshower:
I totally know what you mean and I still get it now
gorgeous post.
Great to hear you so happy and in love, it does take time for the shock to wear off i remember thinking i was so sure i was only lucky enough to be pregnant i never thought they would come out alive and when they did it took a little getting used too. Now they make me feel more alive than ever :) Enjoy DD and her beautiful smile and definately no waking :)
Glad to hear it's going well now Dusty :hug:
oh and if you thought your love can not get any stronger it does!!!! Gosh its amazing how much love your heart can hold isnt it!
Love my DD to bits too!!!!! .... (even when she's naughty) lol
what a beautiful post hun,glad things are going perfectly for you.
I'm so glad you've been able to catch your breath and are able to enjoy your gorgeous DD now! Don't feel bad about being in survival mode for the first few months - I think we all go through that.
:hug: MG
At 7 weeks, I'm right there with you :)
Good to see you sooo happy!!
Naaaw Dusty, I've just seen this thread and have goosebumps! Beautiful post, and I can very much relate. I love soaking them up, it all goes by so quickly.
awwww, that's so beautiful. :hug:
Oh, I am so happy to read this Dusty, it's just lovely and I am so pleased for you. I think so often we hear how hard it is to be a mum, especially at the start, how much work etc, it's nice to also hear the really wonderful side to it all. As you know, I am yet to make it to parenthood, and sometimes I am scared that after wanting something so much I won't be good at it, or it won't be as I imagine etc, so it's great to read a post like this . hugs x
Aww I've gone all melty!
Awwwww that's beautiful. I'm now going to rush off to pick up my DD from preschool and give her the biggest cuddle ever!!
I love it when I kiss her goodnight before I go to bed and I look at her sleeping and just want to scoop her up and snuggle with her all night. If she wasn't getting so heavy...!
Just found this post Dusty, and another one who can totally relate to what you're feeling.
They're amazing little humans hey?
Thats wonderful Dusty. You're not alone when it comes to not falling in love with your bubba instantly. I think it was about the 3 month mark with DD that it happened for me. Becoming a parent is such an overwhelming thing. Not to mention adding the massive journey that you've been on into the mix.
FWIW with DS it was completely different. I had an instant connection with him. I think the journey I had with DD certainly paved the way for this :)
