You know you've become a mother when you ask questions like.....
Did I shower today or yesterday?
Did I brush my teeth this morning... when was morning?
What day of the week/month is it?
What the...it's already 5:00?
Has my baby really been wearing his outfit backwards all day?
How on earth do I always want to put the diaper on backwards?
Is that pee, poo or barf all over me?
Jeff and I are becoming masters in skills we didn't know we had. For example:
-being pretty much asleep and still being able to bounce the bouncer with one foot (honestly if
they named it a bouncer shouldn't it bounce on it's own)
-holding him in a football hold that makes him stop crying no matter what the issue
-sleeping on a moments notice it the baby has fallen asleep
-fattening up our baby (already 11 lbs at 5 weeks 80th percentile, and can hold his head up)
I am still trying to decide if my constant dizziness is from low bloods sugar from nursing, sleep deprivation or some other issue... Baby is starting to sleep a 5 hour stretch however Jeff wakes me up usually once in the night trying to search my covers for the baby:)
While I felt that the fist month was pretty brutal it is wonderful being a mommy here's to many more months!

Shelly, I'm so glad that you're loving being a MOM. It just gets better (I'm assuming it gets worse too!) We're so lucky to have these little guys in our lives. Thank you for sharing him with us- I know I can always count on you to keep up your blog!
