Some Things I Didn't Know Before Becoming a Mama

I would be a big fat liar if I didn't say that life with a new baby is a huge adjustment. We are the last of our friends to have babies so we heard a lot of stories and were given lots of information... BUT, there's nothing like a baby of your own for reality to set in of life with baby. Here are some of the things that I have realized since our Logan has arrived:

1) That I would be so obsessed with my baby farting and pooping. Seriously. There is so much discomfort caused by gas pain that seems to be all day long. Every fart and poop is a success.
2) How many things I can accomplish one-handedly: laundry, emptying the dishwasher, household tidying and so many other things!
3) How friggin nice everyone would be when we're out in public... at the mall, in the grocery store, on hikes... so many people stop to admire little Logan!
4) That doing things around the house would become impossible. I thought being home all day would allow me to keep the house in tip top shape, bake treats everyday, and prepare supper... fancy supper. But... I can't even shower during the day and my baby requires to be held for about 8 of the 10 hours that Aleksy's at work, which seriously limits productivity. Its a good day when I can get my make up done before noon!
5) That third person conversations would occur more often than regular conversations somedays. Aleksy and I talk to each other through Logan. Like, "Mommy has to go to the washroom and Daddy's gonna hold you now".
6) That I would be part of a Moms group... and like it! I have been getting together with a few ladies weekly who I went to prenatal yoga with. It's really nice to share stories, information and relate to one another!
7) That following Logan's birth all our family and friends would be way too nice with making time to visit, bringing food/coffee, and gifts for Logan! Our friends Al and Steph even made us 3 pre-prepared crock pots meals.
8) That I would have read all the books we own for Logan so many times within the first 3 weeks that I can recite parts of the books... especially my prsonal favourites: the little engine that could and I love you forever. I am already pretty bored of the 25 or so books we have!
9) That life would fully revolve around the bottle. Logan must eat every 3 hours so every shopping trip and outing includes timing out what works best for his bottle and planning if we need to bring a bottle with us then pepping how to warm it...
10) That I would be one of "those Moms"... the ones that are hypersensitive to every squawk baby makes, be obsessed with my babies comfort... even the little things, and have a hard time leaving my baby's side. But... we have had our first evening away from Logan when he went to Nana's one evening after Aleksy's work and we went out for sushi and beer (the things I missed while pregnant!).

Well those are 10 things anyways... there are lots more but those are the first 10 that come to mind!

And this little guy turned 1 month on the 16th!
