Things I've learned about being a mom

1. You can function off of 2 hours of sleep.Who knew.

2. Breastfeeding is boring and it is all you do. Listen to Harry Potter audiobooks to pass the time.

3. If your baby is cries out as if in pain and lets out a grown man fart, buy some mylicon and reevaluate your diet.

4. If you get to brush your teeth and wash your face before noon, it is a productive day.

5. If your baby pees through every diaper you put on him, move him up a size in diapers. It will save you a lot of time and laundry.

6. Umbilical cord stumps are gross.

7. If you have to be somewhere at noon, start getting ready at 9. By the time you feed the baby, change his diaper, pack the diaper bag, get yourself ready, and feed and change him again, you will barely make it on time.

8. Giving your baby a bath for the first time is scary. Invest in a baby tub.

9. Having a little person be so completely dependent on you is amazing and terrifying at the same time.

10. You really will love your baby more than you ever thought possible, and just like everyone says, it is hard but you wouldn't have it any other way.
