Current Mood:  loved
Current Music: Distance-Soilwork
Ok-Kaitlyn is now almost 3 weeks old. Still the cutest, most perfect baby in the world..and she has taught me lots of things. I'll share some :)
1. As much as you may want your newborn listening to classical music so she doesn't grow up angry and pissed at the world, if you know she calms down when you turn on "Distance" by Soilwork, you turn on the swedish metal for her! (ya proud Brendan and Jared? :) )
2. You learn to enjoy every meal cold-no matter what it is.
3. Coffee first thing in the morning is good. (Even if you end up drinking it cold)
4. Even if the baby sleeps through the night, you won't because you're constantly checking on her to make sure she is still breathing.
5. During the first week, babies sleep all the time. Don't get used to it. By the second week they stay up more. They have also discovered their lungs..and will use them.
6. Moms can always recognize their own children's cries-even across the Kohl's store.
7. Dad's can sleep through the baby crying...or can at least pretend to very well :)
8. The baby will always take a crap AFTER you change her diaper.
9. Even if you hated playing with dolls growing up, playing dress up with a baby girl is always fun
10. When given the situation of getting to sleep 10 extra minutes or getting up to go to the bathroom, 10 times out of 10, you will chose the sleep option.
11. When somebody says "I'll watch the baby so you can lay down", take them up on the offer.
12. When someone says "A baby will change your life" they are right..but you know what..sometimes change is good. :)
13. A baby will change the relationship with your husband/boyfriend...but sometimes it's a good change.
14. A man's "hardcore level" goes down when he utters the words "footsies" to his daughter. (I love you Jeremy! lol)
15. You really do forget the pain of labor once the baby is out and looks at you for the first time. (Although once I entered Epidural-land, I had no pain!) |
