I've been ike it since she was about 3weeks old and I thought "I don't want you to get any bigger!" LOL.

Have to agree with a lot of the posts. My daughter is 14 and by comparison I would go through the terrible 2's with her again! At least then when she said no to something it wasn't accompanied by that "you are not going to win" expression on her face and she used to love sitting on the sofa having cuddles - still love her to bits though!
In fact I was talking to someone about their teenage daughter the other night who swore that her daughter went to her bedroom and she didn't see her for a year! We now sit together to watch a DVD and after about 30 minutes, she asks me if I am really watching it, only I don't have to if I don't want to and that is her back in her room!

Teenage years are difficult.
You have to up the love input when they are in the mood, and scale back the moaning at them when they 'want to be alone'.
It's a tough time for all, but remember, your child will return to the human race - make sure you are still in touch so you can enjoy it when he / she arrives!

Although my two are 8 and 7, I have to say that I am looking forward to the teenage years, but then I may be thinking differently if I had girls! Going by my older nephews, I think teenage boys are great, very funny, lazy etc. but definitely not as moody as girls in my experience. I actually wasn't too keen on the age 3-4 stage, too much energy - too little sense!!
