I also point it out to H. "Look at how cute she is!"
Last night we stared at O on the video monitor while he was sleeping because he'd rolled onto his back and his fat cheeks were glowing in the infrared light. LOL!
We did it with Catballs too. Even after L was born.
My great happiness is that I got over my post-O-birth momentary hatred of Catballs (you know, probably because I had PPD, ha) before she died. I love that cat.
Even though I know, objectively, he's not that cute. He is to me. And that's all that matters!
He is to me, too. Seriously, he is objectively a very cute kid.
And yes, I do this all the time about my daughter, but I have the good sense to only say it to my mom or my husband. one of my friends says it to me (and probably everyone else) about her own kids and I have to restrain myself from rolling my eyes.
I also point it out to H. "Look at how cute she is!"
I do this, too. "Oh my god, we made that! How did we make something that cute?" He just shrugs at me, so I guess this is a one sided revelation. He must have always assumed he would have cute kids.
Yes, we do this a lot, and I also tear up sometimes, lol. My favorite is when I check the monitor and she's asleep on her back with her hands behind her head, like she's at the beach. Too much.
I do too, but H is SO much worse than I am. I think it's b/c it's his first dog & our first pet as a couple. I will admit that sometimes it scares me thinking of how much he (hardass much of the time) will adore our future child, & sometimes it makes me quite gleeful
Right? I do not think I could love a human more than I love my dog. If you see me wearing a skinsuit (fursuit?) of a cocker spaniel, just look the other way.
I do this daily! When she was a newborn I would just stare at her and cry. Looking back I'm sure it was hormones, lol. Now I am constantly saying how beautiful she is to H and if he doesn't immediately agree I say "what, you don't think so?"
I also regularly look at photos of my kid and think "huh, he's not very photogenic"
<-- gonna win the worst mom award this year
Oh yeah. When we looked at L's and O's monthly photos side by side (we stopped at 12 months) my husband and I were both like "huh, L had kind of an awkward lightbulb shaped head moment from 4-6 months there, didn't she?"
