Grieving the Baby Stage

In this solo episode, I share all of the raw and overwhelming feelings I’m experiencing right now while grieving my son’s baby stage at eighteen months. I explore the heartache and anxiety around the passage of time, the confusion of feeling nostalgic for the present, and explain why the newborn phase wasn’t exactly my thing. I also give my mother an impromptu call and get her perspective on embracing the simultaneous sadness and joy of time passing with children. Finally, I discuss still feeling like a child myself, and I remind myself and anyone who needs to hear it that every child’s stage is incredible and brings new things.   Key Takeaway / Points: Why I love Liam’s toddler phase right now at eighteen months On wanting to freeze time with your child as they are Why the newborn phase wasn’t my thing The heartbreak and anxiety around the passage of time On the fear of not remembering important moments in your child’s life On feeling nostalgic for the present On not feeling ready to go through another pregnancy right now On being overwhelmed with the amount of family footage and having so much personal content to keep track of in today’s world On my simultaneous excitement for Liam’s future Calling my mother and getting her perspective on embracing the sadness and joy of time passing with children On still feeling like a child myself     Follow me: Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: @cameronoaksrogers Twitter: @freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie   Creative Lead: Amelie Yeager Produced by Dear Media. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
