1. Breast feeding is tougher than I thought. I've been doing it for 7 weeks already though! Pumping most of the time but feeding in the evening with her. I am so glad I took breastfeeding courses and read some books--they've helped out tremendously!
2. Getting ready in the morning is essential for a mom's well being. A few times in the early weeks I'd go without a shower but then when John came home I'd take one. I felt yucky the whole day from my lack of getting ready. It is so important to find time to shower and put on make-up if that makes you feel good. I put Lamb in her boppy and bring her into the shower with me.
3. I can fall asleep fast! Even at 3 am after a feeding once my head hits the pillow I am out. I've also learned to sleep sitting up, however I don't need to do that anymore! Lamb falls asleep in her crib now without me holding her.
4. Multitasking is an art. Learn to do it!
5. Sleep is HEAVEN. It will not be returning to my life (that is FULL uninterrupted sleep) for awhile so if you are pregnant now, enjoy!!
6. That I could never love someone as much as my child. I love you Lamb!!
