10 things I’ve learned about being a new mom

November 11th, 2008 by stacey

1.  Babies don’t actually need names right away.  They are hardly ever called by their name anyway (sweetie, sweet-pie, angel baby, and the list goes on…)

2.  There are never-ending favors that mom needs to ask dad to do!

3.  Breast-feeding consumes a lot of time.  Not much else can be accomplished while breast-feeding.

4.  Babies don’t need many pieces of clothing.  If warm enough, they can spend plenty of time in just a diaper.

5.  Showering is a privilege and not a right.

6.  Accomplishing one chore each day deserves praise.

7.  You really can stare at a baby all day.

8.  Never go anywhere without the diaper bag, not even for 5 minutes.

9.  If anyone tells you that you will forget labor pains, they are lying.  However, it is all worth it.

10.  Dads (or non-stay-at-home parents) will never fully understand :)
