Parenting...so far

What I've learned/thought:

1. Why are stop lights suddenly 20 minutes long? Doesn't it know I have a screaming infant who NEEDS the moving car vibrations to sleep? How rude.
2.  THIS

3.  My child doesn't sleep during the day. Like today, she slept maybe 30 minutes all day. This makes it hard to get anything done. She does, of course, take long naps when daddy is home over the weekend. This makes me look crazy when I tell Ryan I haven't been able to do anything all day except keep our child alive. 

4. An hour of alone/me time is gold these days. Almost as heaven like as being able to pump 3 extra ounces in one pump session. Almost. 

5. The love family and friends have shown for Everleigh truly makes me feel humbled and so blessed. 

6. She cries when she's tired and that's the silliest thing to me. If you're tired, go to sleep baby! 

7. My love equally grows for Everleigh and Ryan every day...even on days where I want to kill them both. :)

8. I'm still feeding two, therefore I'm allowed to eat all day when I have two hands and 10 minutes. 

9.  The last 10 baby pounds are going to be hard to lose. See #8. 

10. Nothing is on my schedule anymore. NOTHING.  my world revolves around her, especially since she can't even make it 2 hours some times between feelings. 

11. Her smiles melt me. Daddy better be the stern one. 

12.  Her coos melt me. She's already trying so hard to have a conversation. 

13. I'm getting really good at diaper changes. It's a good day when she can stay in an outfit the entire day. 

14. I used to get 8 hours of sleep every night. Encore pregnancy. Now, I wonder how long it will be before I sleep again  I've had 1 6 hour stretch in 2 months, and that's because Ryan took her for a while so I could sleep. I miss sleep. A lot. 

15. The dogs have suddenly become a whole lot more annoying. 

Now here's a cute picture to leave you with:

She just woke up in thee morning and was all smiles :)
