...And Suddenly, He’s 1 Month Old

Well, I blinked and a month went by.

I feel like I live in a time-warp. In a lot of ways, this month went by slowly. But it also feels like it it way too soon for me to have a 1 month old.

Did I do all the things I wanted to do with my newborn? Is he still considered a newborn now that he’s 1 month old? I mean, he’s still wearing newborn clothes so. . . that has to count for something, right?

So, the obligatory reflective post on what the past month has been like begins now. 

I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things that I distinctly noted as “so this is what they meant when they said. . ” when it comes to motherhood. 

So, let us begin.

1. I learned (with a quickness) to do things with one hand, or with my non-dominant hand. Being ambidextrous would be very advantageous. It always seems like David needs to be held right about the time my dinner is ready.

2. I do laundry constantly. Now, the loads of laundry are small and the items being washed are also small, but our washer and drier has been going non-stop since about December 16th. 

3. Having a baby is a lot more fun than people tell you. So many of my evenings consist of Justin and I sitting on the couch just looking at David and talking about him. And we’ve already said to each other, “what did we talk about before he got here?”
