Some things I know about parenting so far...
- Sleep is not totally necessary for survival. It is lovely, but one can survive on very few hours of sleep.
- My baby's smile/laugh is all I need for a quick pick-me-up.
- My DVR is really full. Like, more full than it's ever been and I even deleted a bunch of season passes. Seriously.
- Wine helps.
- Squishy thighs and baby parts are super fun to squeeze. (But don't squeeze them too hard.)
- Other parents (yours truly included) are very judgmental as to HOW they believe a child should be raised.
- Books can explain/teach a lot, but not everything. Some of it is just art and love.
- "Me time" flies out the window when you have a kid. (I remember my child-less life with fondness only because I remember what it was like to do whatever, whenever.)
- Breastfeeding is one of the hardest parts of being a mom, but also one of the most rewarding.
- Did I mention wine?
