15 Lessons Learned by a Baby Rookie

1. Babies make me tired.
2. Just because you think the baby is done peeing, doesn't mean it is.

Finding a particularly nasty diaper.

3. It really is possible for a baby girl to "shoot pee" onto her mom's glasses.
4. ALWAYS have a backup outfit when going out.
5. Nursing hurts....real bad.
6. It's really okay that I don't get ready for the day until 4:00 in the afternoon....at least for now.
7. Being a man is easy.

8. Babies actually make people late...for real...it's not an excuse.
9. Hand sanitizer is my new best friend...and if you want to touch my baby...it's yours too.
10. I now understand the line, "My mother hasn't had a hot meal in 10 years."
11. It's fine that I'm not back to my pre-baby weight already...really it's fine...it really is.
12. Watching the baby sleep at night, isn't going to make it sleep better.
13. Time now revolves around when the baby eats.
14. It's okay to fill up an entire camera memory card every day.
15. Even though we are extremely tired, constantly smell of pee and vomit, and have to juggle everything now....we have never been happier.


This is the abridged version of what we have learned so far...yeah, we know there is much more for us "newbs" to figure out...
