Giveaway Results: Baby Bjorn Organic Baby Carrier With Carrier Cover

Cool giveaway Hmmm, what has especially surprised me? Probably just how hard it is!! You think a certain age or stage is the hardest and nothing could ever top “this,” only to end up moving on to an even more challenging time!! Can you tell I’m having a rough time with my kiddo right now?? It’s certainly so rewarding, too, but TOUGH!!

The love surprised me. Everyone says you haven’t loved like this, but until you experience it, you just don’t understand. Love is grand, isn’t it?

What surprised about parenting is just how much my life revolves around the kids now. People always said that to me before I had the boys, but now I understand it.

I am much more protective & nervous than I thought I would be. I wouldn’t let me daughter out of my sight when she was born. She roomed-in with me & slept on my chest for almost a week afterwards, then by my bed in a bassinett for 2 months. Now, with baby boy about the be born I am hoping I learned not to be so nervous, but I am not so sure. I am beginning to think that growing up is harder on the parents than on the kids.

It’s such a small thing, but I was (and still am) surprised by how much a hug from my daughter can turn the whole day around.

I never expected to have such a hard time going to work every day and leaving my little one… I miss her every single day.

Biggest suprise? How much you love them! Even thru the sleepless nights, teething, ear aches…

What has surprised me most is how easy it has been to move forward in life, and not look back with regret on the days before kids. I don’t know what I did with my lazy self back then, but I wouldn’t go back for anything. I love being busy with my kids!

awesome giveaway!! thanks!
one thing that has surprised me is how much more aware I am of everything. . .germs, schedules, life in general. I want time with everyone especially my young family!

One thing that has surprised me about parenting is that my kids sometimes teach me more than I teach them. This would be a great baby shower gift fro my best friend!!

I was surprised to learn that I’m not as patient as I thought I was! I’m working on it, though.

I have been especially surprised at how smart, funny and eager to please my kids are from a very early age. I agree the love is also surprising, it is so much more intense than any other love.

I need one of these my little guy is getting soo heavy and he’s only 14 weeks. That said, I wouldn’t trade this for the world-at 40 I had given up on having kids now I wish I had done it sooner.

One thing that has surprised me is how much fun my son can be! I guess I hadn’t been around other children very much before him, so I didn’t realize the sense of humor they can have. My son makes us laugh all the time!

The thing that surprised me the most is that those cliches (such as “they grow up so quickly”) you always hear are in fact true.

Everything surprises me – from the moment we decided to adopt to our trips to Russia and home again to every little thing that comes out of our son’t mouth – will that ever stop being surprising?!?!

I’m pregnant with child number 4 and what continues to surprise me, although it shouldn’t, is how completely different they all are from each other. Just when I think I have something figured out, I realize that they all respond differently to things. It’s an amazing trip watching them all grow and find their unique selves.

I’m surprised by how very different my sons are from my daughter. Boys are just their own kind of creature. And by how different all four are from each other, in every way. How did these four human beings possibly come from the same two sets of genes, lol?!

I was surprised with how much you can love a tiny little baby. Our first daughter was born and I fell so in love with her. Then we had a boy, and I thought, “Can I really have enough love for two?” Of course! Number three (a girl) came along, and the love keeps coming. It’s so amazing that you can have so much love inside of you!

I am totally surprised about the number of people I discuss poop with!! Baby poop that is…not my own! That and everything else I now find coming up in conversations. What else did I talk about before kids?

What’s thrown me back is how I used to look at men and women with children and think they were so over protective of their child. Since having my own daughter now, I am scared of anything smaller then a soccer ball, deeper then a teaspoon of water, hotter then lukewarm water and taller then a foot. You don’t look at anything as practical, only as, “How can my child hurt themselves on this?” ha ha ha

My biggest surprise thus far, on my parenting journey, is that my baby will be due on my father-in-law’s birthday!

What surprised me in my journey is they didn’t come with instruction booklets…..

My one year old just fell last week and had to get stitches. I was amazed at how quickly he bounced back while I remained so nervous and felt sooo guilty! You want to protect them from everything and have to deal with the fact he can’t be the boy in the bubble!

What suprised me is how hard it is but how worth it it is too.

I’m constantly surprised at how early their little personalities start coming out! It’s so fun to watch.

The funny things they say are so surprising and really make my day!

I found it most suprising at how much love I could have for someone!!

The most surprising thing about being a mother.. would probably be that you can laugh at things no one else would find funny.

I was surprised that the non-confrontational, people-pleaser that I was pre-mommyhood, actually found her voice when it comes to defending her children. No one messes with my son.

So many things have surprised me. I had no idea how hard parenting is, but the love I’ve received from my little one has been the best surprise!

I’m really surprised at how lax I am! I am a disciplined person and like order, but as a mother I am layed back and open. It’s been a blessing!

My daughter is the funniest person, she makes me laugh all the time. Who knew a little person can be so much fun to hang out with?!

Great Giveaway my daughter is expecting her first child in January! I guess my biggest surprise comes when they grow up ! And turn into adults

I never realized how happy by babies smile makes me. When he smiles at me the all worries in the world seem to disappear.

As mom to a 16 month old, I never realized how silly she could be!!

I’m surprised at how quickly they learn! I have a hard time keeping ahead of them!

I think the thing that has surprised me the most about being a parent is just wanting time to slow down. When they were younger I kept thinking I wish they would grow up a little. Now I keep praying time would just slow down, so I can enjoy each stage a little longer. I love being a mother.

What has surprised me about parenting is how CONSTANT it is! You’re never off-duty. This is important, of course, especially with younger children. But we moms have to take a break every once in a while, even if it’s difficult to manage. )
Thanks!

The one thing that surprised me the most is how fast they really do grow up! The baby stage just doesn’t last as long as I would have imagined. This is the coolest give away.

What surprised me the most is how challenging it is and how rewarding it is at the same time.

I wish someone would have told me that boys can actually “projection tinkle” towards your face during a diaper change!

How natural my husband is at taking care of our little girl! Another thing is how quick she catches onto every little detail!!

The biggest surprise how much you grow as a person loving your children and how much they teach you!

How my children can be the best of friends and then turn and hit each other. I have not seen such quick changes before this.

No matter how bad my day can be, seeing both my kids smile and give me unconditional love fills me with so much joy. “I never knew a love like this before”. Seriously. I love every minute that I have with them, the good, the bad, the ugly.

I think there is many surprise blessings that come with having kids! I think I’m surprised by how much I pray for my kids throughout the day, whether they are with me or not!

How, despite my persistent exhaustion, I look forward to being with my baby and enjoy our moments together!

what suprised me the most is how hard it is but yet its alot easier once you get into a routine an get things going how you want them to

What surprises me is how easily the tears roll down my face as I read over all the previous postings. Its like you become a member of “club mom”. Only moms can join. I now understand how my mom feels! Being a mommy is a whole new life, it’s such a wonderful thing!

Great giveaway! My daughter is 7 weeks old and we could really use this.

What surprised me most about parenting was just how tired I would be. Sure, people tell you about the night wakings, but it’s not real to you until you actually experience it.

It surprises me how busy being a mom keeps me- but it’s work I totally enjoy

What surprised me is how tired I am – all the time because of how much work it takes to be a mom. Also, how selfish I can become sometimes when I need to put my kids needs first. My mom made it look easy.

What surprised me the most is how tired I am – all the time because of how much work it takes to be a mom. Also, how selfish I can become when I need to put my kids needs first. My mom made it look easy.

What surprises me the most about motherhood is how much you wear your heart on your sleeve as a parent. They love to pull on your heartstrings but it’s so worth it! I love being a mom…this is probably the best role that I’ve played thus far in my life:)

#3 on the way, We have 2 sons, 3 and 16. My wife and I are excited, we are suprised how well the two get along so nicely, adding 1 more to the mix should be at the very least interesting.

please and thank you

…how something so small could require so much work yet be so rewarding, amazing and awesome all at once despite how tired you feel each day. I go to bed exhausted yet also so excited to see our daughter smiling in her crib in the morning.

What surprised me is how crazy it is. I knew being a mom was crazy, but not THIS crazy. It’s crazy busy and yet crazy fun.

I’ve been amazed that even on the hardest days, sunshine comes with just a tickle or giggle from my little one!

What’s surprised me the most has been how quickly he changes. I swear, my son was just born yesterday, and then I blinked, and now he’s nearly six months old!

I am surprised, at the continual changes. Just when you get into a routine, or think you understand whats going on in their head. At that point, they come out with something that makes you go wow! how did they think that. To sumerise, I think the surprise is how indivual and unique each little one is

Everything lately has surprised me…but mostly how my 2 year old copies everything that we say in front of him…

wow this would be great!!

Our journey changes so often, I am most surprised by our strength through all that happens. I know when I’m at my worst, those kids just lift me right back up!!

The one thing that continues to surprise me is how much I miss my children when I am not with them. It seems like it should get easier but the older they get, the harder it seems to be apart. When we go out of town when I feel I need a getaway I miss them so much I ache.

I am surprised by how much having children has caused me to be more aware of the earth around me. I find myself daily doing things to ease my (our) environmental impact. It all starts with one person, right?

It surprised me just how much guilt I would feel ALL the time, no matter what I try to do!

I’m actually a stepmom…and what has surprised me is how fast kids change and how it sometimes happens when you don’t even know it! Looking back to pictures my step son has changes for much just in the short time we’ve been together!

What has surprised me the most is how much having a little one can bring an extended family together—Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, everyone wants to know how my little men are doing and what is the newest thing. Having babies truly brings new excitement to a family! <3

What surprised me the most is how your kids seem to know so much more than you give them credit for!

awesome giveaway!!! i would say that since i became a mommy,my whole world has changed.everyday is a new exciting adventure.in good days and bad,my kids make everyday amazing.my 2 boys can make everything bad that happens that day go away with a smile or hug.being a mommy is the best feeling and experience in the world.i am blessed to be a mommy.

how much i love it…i mean i knew i would love it but i LOVE it!

This would be so awesome to win. And I can’t wait to see the movie it should be a riot~!

What surprised me the most was how much my focus changed. I am a single mother and I stopped thinking in terms of me, or even of me and him, and started thinking in terms of we. He filled a void I didn’t even know I had.

I would have to say that the thing that surprised me the most was how hard parenting is. I had lots of siblings so I thought I had a handle on things before my little one came but I learned that I had far from it!

What has surprised me the most? Probably no matter how crappy my day has been that my little man can cheer me up in the matter of seconds.

What surprised me most was that it was the hardest job in the world… that I never knew, that I always wanted. I felt like the moment I became a mom I’d totally figured out who I was supposed to be.

I have 3 boys and I always thought I would have girls.Now I wouldn’t have it any other way!!

I didn’t know that I’d fall in love with my little guys over and over again…that even tantrums would make me love them more!

I have a 15 month old and I think the thing that has surprised me, is how much they really notice what you’re doing and how much they imitate you! It’s the cutest thing.

My surprise was that although baby #1 had no problems nursing baby#2 does

I really need this carrier.

What has surprised me most is how smart my son is. I did not expect this much so soon. Now do not get me wrong he is a normal smart, but it is so surprising. It also surprises me at how fast my baby is growing. It seems like I just had her yesterday and it was really 3 months ago! Geez time flies when you are having fun!

I think I’m surprised at how much patience I actually possess. Then my three year old wakes up from his nap and I’m reminded that I don’t have nearly enough. I’m due with our second in December, so this would be an AWESOME prize to win!

Great movie, seems like my life. I work part time/evenings and during the day I am so worn out prior to going to work. This trailer seems like my life. I manange 30 plus people at work and it’s easier than managing my home. Seems to be the question of the day. Should I stay home full time going forward?

How much patience you can really have!

What has surprised me is how FAST time goes. I am about to become a grandma.

I am always surprised as how I come out in my children’s voices and expressions – and not always in a good way! Certainly makes you clean up your act!

I am surprised at how guilty I feel that I can’t hold my twins, at the same time, close to my chest. I love my little men.

I am so surprised that as a stay at home dad, how difficult it is to do simple things such as grocery shop with my twin sons. I can put one of my peanuts in the cart but I have no where to put the other guy, so I hold my 5 month old in my arms!

I am still new to this motherhood thing but what has surprised me the most is how much I enjoy spending time with Max. I had always assumed I would want to work after I had kids – and that I could never stay home full time – until I was staying home with Max. Now I could definitely see myself staying home full time with him.

What surprises me is being 44 years with a 2 month old. My niece and I had a baby at the same time. Now, that’s a surprise. My daughter is 18 and my son 15. I’m surprised by what I have to relearn, all the new and wonderful products available now, being upset to the point of tears because my daughter wouldn’t breastfeed and having to pump instead, how often I whisper in her ear not to grow up too fast becuase I just want to soak in every moment of her existence. What surprises me?? The pure joy she brings to everyone.

The first surprise was my mother’s uncontrollable tears of joy when I told her she was finally going to be a grandma! She couldn’t even talk to me she handed the phone off to my dad–whom I am sure was unsure of what was happening!

The unexpected surprise was when I called my Mama & Papa (grandparents) and told them they were going to be great-grandparents. First I told my Papa, as my Mama was actually at the store. He said she is going to be tired when she comes in and could use some good news. Papa asked her when she came in the door. “Are you feeling okay?” She said, “I am tired but I am okay. Why?” He said again, “But your okay?”. She said, “Yes, I am fine. What did you do?” thinking he broke something while she was gone. He asked her, “Can you dance?”, she said “yeah, as good as I ever could!” He said, “Then let’s dance.” She thought to herself, what in the world is going on?
Finally, as they were dancing he said to her, “What would make you the happiest woman alive?” She just shrugged and before she could say anything else he announced–”We are going to be great-grandparents!!” She screamed and jumped up and down and then called me to scream some more. Wow, I have NEVER seen my grandparents so out of control. What a wonderful surprise!

That at the end of the day when I’m exhausted and feel I can’t take one more second I can go to bed and wake up with a new dose of grace, patience and love!
