Here is a short list of things I've learned in my first 4 weeks of being a mommy...
- Being a mom is HARD.
- You really can function on very little sleep
- Navigating a shopping mall with a stroller requires strategic planning - knowing where all the entrances are that have ramps, where the elevators are in department stores, and which bathrooms offer couches so you can breast feed.
- I can do most things one handed while holding a baby
- I am awesome at the Prize Claw game on my iphone (which I play one handed during middle of the night feedings)
- My husband is amazing (I already knew that but he's gotten awesomer)
- Trying to put a diaper on upside down and backwards does not work
- I know the difference between a hungry cry, gas pain cry, and dirty diaper cry (at least I think I have this one figured out...)
- I worry way too much. Is he too hot? Too cold? is he breathing? Should I call the doctor if he is congested?
- its perfectly normal to feel like a failure at this mom thing - apparently all moms feel this way (Thanks E!)
- Rocking with my sleeping baby on my chest is the most wonderful, joyful, and relaxing thing in the world
- I LOVE my little boy more than I could have ever imagined.
