Things I've learned in the 36 hours I have been a Mom



-Yes you do hear your baby stir even when you are sound asleep.
-Babies, all babies hate it when you are on the phone, and immediately begin to fuss and grab the phone
-Babies hate it when you want to sit and eat a meal.
-Babies DO know the difference between when you are standing up holding them and sitting.
-Babies think your computer is theirs too, and they want to play with the keyboard.
-Rice cereal has no taste.
-Babies can throw things far, repeatedly.
-Babies under 16 lb.s can get heavy too.
-Babies under 10 months can have a temper.
-Babies diapers are MUCH better to change than the ones at work.
-Babies make you worry that they may be sick, even when they are not. (temp is normal)
-Babies think Mommy does not need to sleep.
-A Baby asleep in your arms in the best feeling ever.
-Babies make you smile.
-Babies make you happy.
-Babies are precious.
-Babies make you forget what life was before they were here, (was it ready under 36 hrs ago??)
And YES you can love a Baby you just met 1 1/2 days ago.
