Things I've Learned in Three Weeks of Parenting

Posted on 10:58 by Unknown
1. The old "sleep when the baby sleeps" saying is so. true. If we need a nap, we sleep when Colin goes down. This really works, I'm telling you!

2. When you become a parent, you go into "survival mode" and do things you didn't originally plan on doing. You do what works. For example, if I'm not making enough milk to satisfy my little guy, we'll give him a bottle of formula to tide him over. That's something I hadn't originally planned for.

3. Breastfeeding - and pumping - can be painful and aggravating. Over the past week or so, I have become an exclusive pumper, and my nipples are pretty much always sore and sensitive.

4. When you're a new parent, you never get tired of staring at your little one and studying his features. I swear this kid gets more beautiful every day.

5. Little boys WILL pee on you - it's inevitable.

More to come - Colin is waking up from his nap. :)
