What I’ve learned so far…

  1. Your brain needs sleep to process thoughts. Sometimes I feel dumb. Can’t think of any better reason to go without sleep though.
  2. Arizona fall and winter are perfect for walks with the stroller… although sometimes I end up holding Dirk and pushing the stroller with a free hand.
  3. Watching his eyes, as he learns about his environment is fascinating… what a wondrous world we live in- fyi- Christmas lights are the bomb.
  4. Babies smell yummy… even better after tub time- and he has an Afro and the start of a mohawk… my soccer star will have soccer hair.
  5. I am the master at one handed tasks now.
  1. Laundry
  2. Dishes
  3. Eating(what I can muster up)
  4. Typing
  5. Bathtime
  6. Texting
  • Time flies… exponentially.
  • Lost the water weight(34 lbs- told you I took on water) now just 9lbs to go… walking was hard for the first two weeks- extremely painful-but now my body is almost healed and it feels invigorating!
  • Being a mom is harder than being a teacher… BUT it is more rewarding! Love waking up to my boy every day and watching him learn and grow throughout the day. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world!
  • My Type A organizational skills-mad skills- definitely helped getting the house ready for baby…. we have a month old and the house is still standing : )
  • <3 Showers make me feel better… thanks to family members and husband for letting me take them and watching baby
