tardiness

I used to pride myself on being on time. I think it's polite and respectful. Boy has that gone out the window. No matter how much I plan feedings and changings, I'm late everywhere I go.

This is just one of the things that has changed over the last seven weeks. Here are a few more things that have become my reality:

Your body can survive on a lot less sleep than you imagine.

Although small, babies hold a lot of liquid and sometimes, they'd prefer to not keep it in their bellies.

Home Improvement and Cosby Show reruns are refreshing when infomercials consume every other channel at 4am.

People should really look into buying stock from all makers of laundry detergent, they're making bazillions.

E-mails can still be understood with one-handed typing, missing words and all lower case letters.

Saying life changes after a baby is an understatement. But it's the greatest change in the world.

Still on cloud 9, and wondering what your favorite parts of the first few weeks of motherhood were? What do you miss about the first few weeks of being a mom?

I'm going through the sleepless nights pre-baby right now and seriously considered sending a letter to NBC thanking them for putting Leno and Conan on late night/early morning. Never really a Three's Company fan, I became one after I had Bennett. It was all that was on at the time.

My favorite part about the first few weeks was letting him take a nap nuzzled up on my chest. I loved how he would curl up like a tiny little peanut. Julian said that he loved how Bennett would look up at him in the dark of the night while he was feeding him with little thankful eyes.

About five more weeks and it all starts over at my house! Glad to hear things are going well.
