Worst moments - OMG hospitals. Nearly 3 weeks as early and wasn't feeding properly. Then a few weeks later pooping blood and rushed to hospital, having found thankfully it was just milk and latose intolerance but then I had to stop bf becuase of it and I really miss that.
Best, too many to mention - the way he looks at you when you laugh at him doing something silly as if to say 'don't mock me'. Cupping my face in his hands in the morning, rolling for the first time, slapping hubby across the face when he called him big head.

Best moment being when my ds said mama the other day at 22 weeks and hasn't stopped saying it.
Worst moment was the first few days, i was staying with my partners parents for the first 2 weeks because my house was getting re-decorated i find this time awkward with me being a first time mum and i didn't like sharing him with loads of people i just wanted him to myself. And the fact my partner went home soon after i gave birth was upsetting as i couldn't walk and was still out of it its just a good job my brother turned up to feed my baby.

The best bits would have to be seeing Alexandras gorgeous little smile first thing in the morning,and hearing her gurgling away and saying da and ma,really makes me smile!
The worst thing is seeing her in pain as she suffers a lot from constipation,horrible

ah lovely thread my ds oliver is 18wks old and like other posters cant beleive how quick it has gone and how much he has changed.
best: the morning smiles, as soon as i look into his cot there it is a big gummy smile, the giggles he has a proper little giggle its so sweet, the last feed where after he has had his bottle he flops in our arms and falls asleep and gives us a little smile to say thank you back to bed please daddy or mummy lol
worst: wk 3 he went from mr placid to mr screamer one night he scream for 45 mins non stop didnt know what to do, also all three sets of jabs awful, im thinking he is teething as well which is a pain i cant take away from him, and any time he screams in pain it breaks my heart it really does. watching him having his heel p*** test at the hospital as i was diabetic during the pregnancy was horrid only a few hours old and being hurt already!

Best bit - the morning smiles, I've never been much of a morning person but the way DS beams at me just melts my heart.
Worst - Colic from start to finish. Seeing my baby in distress and being utterly unable to do anything about it.

The worst - SCBU with jaundice at a dangerous level!!! Also not knowing what to do when coming home from hospital (first time clueless mummy!!)
The best - This really could go on forever. Obviously his beautiful, gentle smiles that are just for his mummy, his gentle touch on my face and the latest best moment is waking up in the morning to listen to him blowing raspberries over the monitor.
God, I love this boy sooooooooooooooo much

Worst bit so far - spending 6 nights in hospital with LO when he was 12 days old. There were a few times when I really thought I wouldn't be bringing him home and I felt like I hadn't had a chance to find out who he was. It
Best bit - finding out what a lovely little fella he is.

oooooo best bit was bringing Miles home from the hospital and the way he smiles first thing in the morning and whilst kicking about in the bath.
The worst was his jab, it was the look he gave me as she put the needles in

Isnt it lovely how everyones best bits involve smiles and laughs!
DD is 5 months now, best bit so far was her first giggle and when she snuggles against my cheek and gives a very sloppy kissy licky thing!
Worst bit was having to go back to hospital the day after we came home as she developed severe jaundice. Had to spend 3 days on childrens ward, listening to poor kids screaming through the night; my milk was just about coming in so felt weepy and hormonal and, apart from one lovely night nurse, the nurses didnt really offer much support seeing as id only given birth 4 days earlier.
Despite that, the good stuff far outweighs the rest! xx

Ah its really hard sometimes to remember things isn't it. I saw a new born baby the other day n i really couldn't remember ds ever being that tiny!! 5mths is nothing but it seems like ages ago!!
Best bit: every morning walkin in2 his room and seeing his face light up
Worst bit: when ds had colic and felt like me and dp didn't have a min to ourselves... that was hard. Can see why relationships break down!!
Really trying to enjoy every min now i know how precious they are (....ohhh welling up here)

The best has got to be the first time she smiled looking at me and knowing I'm her mum! And also when she looked at dp and said dada.
The worst was the 1st ngiht home from the hospital when she wouldn't latch on and screamed all night because of hunger and tiredness...had to wait till 6am to go find somewhere open selling baby milk as it was a sunday morning!

The best is the smiles, the laughs, the cooing and singing and the way she adores watching her big brother.
The worst has been being on my own the whole time with a baby and toddler and having some real hard days with Jess crying a lot or waking loads in the night.

Gosh there are so many good moments that far out weight the bad. Time is just going so fast and Theo is changing so much he has just turned 7mths.
I think for me the best moments are when he's feeding and turns his head to look at me with a massive grin touching my face before he snuggles back in for more feeding it's a great feeling.
The worst i'd say so far was when Theo had tonsillitis and i couldn't do anything to make the pain go away other than calpol. He spent alot of time in my bed them couple weeks poor love.
For ds daddy i think his best moments are when Theo falls asleep on his shoulder while slowly patting his bum. Ds won't do that with me it's daddy time.
I think dp worst moments are when Theo gets up at night and he can't do anything to help much as Theo will only settle with me during the night but i don't mind as dp gets up with the girls in the morning for school.
Time is flying so much wish it wasn't so fast they just don't saty babies for long.

Worst moments - Being stuck in hospital whilst Lilypops was hooked to IV after I had given birth as she needed antibiotics and we were stuck there three days.
FInding out that Lilypops is permanently deaf in her left ear.
Best moments - Waking up and seeing her ever morning. The way her brothers adore her. All her cute little smiles and giggles.
