Robbed by postpartum

[u/bellski05]

Anyone else feel like the haze/fog of postpartum PLUS coming home with a tiny worm of a human robbed you of some of the last baby months with your older half of the 2u2? I have my phone on the rotating wallpaper of my kids/husband/cats lol and I’m getting pics from when my second was NB~3mos and my oldest was like 15-18mos and at the time she felt soooo big and I was so overwhelmed and idk I just felt like she was a giant ass toddler. But now she’s approaching 2years old and I’m not in the thick of it as much with the little one and I’m seeing these pics and I feel like I completely missed those months with her. I was with her but I didn’t SEE her and I’m so sad about it 😭 she was just a tiny baby and I made her grow up so fast

I just had this revelation yesterday looking at my snap memories. I had my second when my first was 14 months old and in the moment he felt like a little man but now he’s 2 1/2 and actually a little man and he was still a baby back then and I sobbed for like 30 minutes over it. UGH.
