Lessons I've learned.

  • Babies grow ridiculously fast. 
  • One can function with less than 12 hours of sleep. I actually love waking up with my baby anytime of the day or night. I still enjoy a nap when the babe sleeps in the afternoon. BUT! I can live without it. WHO KNEW?
  • Summer Swaddle Blankets rock! Its a combination between a baby straight jacket and a sleeping bag. All  I know is that Corah falls asleep with in minutes of being in this! Seriously, if you are an expectant mommy or new mommy this is my Baby MUST HAVE.

  • People have intense feelings about babies wearing headbands.  I don't care. I put one on Corks in the morning and she wears it until I take it off as I put her to bed. (They are not all as obnoxious as this one.

  • There is no point in planning anything. About the point that you make a plan you spend a week in the hospital with a Pulmonary Embolism. Or less dramatically baby has a diaper blow out.
  • In respect the the PE...If you literally feel like you are about to die go to the Hospital. Sleeping it out isn't going to fix anything. 
  • Also in respect to the PE...Mommies (specifically mine) can fix anything.
  • Taking a baby out in Public will give any new mommy an ego about how a-freakng-dorable her baby is.  I am just saying. People tend to complement Corah on her perfectly shaped head. I have no clue what this means. 
  • Babies don't break as easily as new mommies think. 
  • I could totally be a SAHM.  While this isn't an option for us now.  I love spending every second possible with my babe and will be soaking up my LOA like its nobodies business.

  1. I agree with so many of those!! The blowout diapers usually tend to come at the most inconvenient time. I also would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be a SAHM. Maybe someday that time will come :)
