Things I’m learning about motherhood
1. Mothers don’t get sick days. Oddly though, fathers do. Hmmm.
2. Babies don’t care if the dishes are done.
3. All of those people on Inside the Actor’s Studio who say their child’s laughter is their favorite sound aren’t BSing.
4. If you don’t feel 5 steps behind at all times, you’re probably deluding yourself.
5. Sometimes things they don’t like really are good for them (examples: tummy time and nasal aspirators).
6. The one time you don’t have a burp cloth over your shoulder is when they will vomit all the way down your back.
7. Your personal grooming will forever take a backseat to your child’s. Because who cares what you look like? You don’t want people thinking you don’t know how to take care of your kid.
8. Days where you both stay in your pajamas are essential for your sanity because it’s one less thing you need to do.
9. Peeing in the bath tub happens. So does pooping. And both are nothing to get all in a hissy about.
10. Babies. They are awesome.

#9 – very true
I have been anticipating #9, however Ava has yet to do either in the bathtub.
Lucky! JR did both during one of his first tub baths. Maybe just because he’s a boy and thinks it’s hilarious.
I understand that you are in full baby mode right now, and rightfully so, but those of us without babies still want to read about all the funny and witty other things not-baby related that make you you.
Sigh, I know. I sat for about 20 minutes trying to think of something other than babies (and honestly, not related to Battlestar Galactica) and I had absolutely nothing.
Okay, seriously, the dad thing. It used to annoy me. They are SO lucky sometimes. Dang it all.
He really is most adorable. And I love his hair. And I want to chew his feet.
