Ok, so we have been parent's for three months and as any parent knows, you learn A LOT about you, your child, and your marriage in such a short amount of time. So here is a list of what I have learned so far:
1. Newborns are cute and snugly, but boring compared to a 3 month old!
2. The first time your child smiles at you, it's probably gas.
3. The first time your child intentionally smiles at you, it's a natural high (like you huffed gas!).
4. Babies can projectile fluids from BOTH ends.
5. Diapers are the death of your income.
6. Our mothers seem to forget every negative thing about raising a child and are convinced that the times your kid is fussy that there must be something wrong.
7. Babies are fussy. A lot. Nothing is wrong with your child. They just are.
8. Daytime TV sucks.
9. You initially missed being at work, then you began to love grocery shopping on a random Tuesday morning.
10. Your husband amazes you with his "daddy skills."
11. Your dog amazes you with her intuition on protecting the baby.
12. You learned to nurse without having to take your whole shirt off.
13. Diaper bags never seem to be big enough.
14. Both you and baby need wardrobe changes frequently.
15. You can walk around with spit-up on me all day and not even notice.
16. Wiping your own kids nose on your sleeve isn't as gross as you think.
17. You covet that first glass of wine or beer that you can have!
18. Babies don't sleep as often as the books say they should.
19. Babies never do what the books say they should.
20. In an instant, your world changes completely to revolving around the needs and care of the most precious gift possible, and you are willing to do what ever it takes to make her little life as perfect as you can. :O)
