One Month Old

I can't believe a month has gone by...
It's been a lot of trial and error, but it's been so awesome!!!

Here are a few things I've learned:
1) Crying, well get used to it, it's gonna happen- mom and baby!!
2) Breast-feeding poop is weird!
3) Boys don't like cold wipes on their tinkers
4) Diapers, diapers, diapers, wipes, wipes, wipes, wipes, wipes, wipes, wipes...
5) They not only pee on you, they poop on you too
6) One boob can produce A LOT more milk than the other
7) Don't feel guilty when you give them a bottle, as long as they are full, life is good, however you can make it happen, do it!!!!
8) Men didn't have dolls, they are clueless on how to dress a child. Pay close attention to prevent injury when dad is changing the clothes!
9) Some babies love to sleep on their tummy, sorry doctors! I just pray every night that he continues breathing, God has an agenda, he will take care of us!!
10) Being a stay at home mom is harder than working 40hrs a week. How do you girls do it???
And last, being a parent is the best "oops" I have ever experienced!

He's getting so big! You're doing a great job mom! Nobody tells you how hard it is going to be do they? Super hard. And so worth it. The crazy thing is when you want to do it AGAIN.

He's so sweet! I can't believe he's already one month.
It is funny how everyone talks about getting peed on but no one mentions the poo leaking out of diapers and getting all over everything - way, way worse :)
You're doing great!

Congrats again on that cute little oops. We have one too, and I love him so dearly. It's amazing how God knows what we want better than we know, isn't it? You are doing great. And I loved the list. Very funny. Miss you girl.

He is growing so fast. I can't believe he is already a month old and you guys have been gone that long! I can surely see you both in him. God (with your help) made a very handsome little boy.
