  • make peace with poop   
  • sleep will be hard to come by   
  • your life will never be the same   
  • you will have little or no time for yourself   
  • your body changes forever   
  • you will get all sorts of baby body fluids on you at least six times a day   
  • your vacations will have to change as much as your life has, but it's still as much, if not more, fun

You know it's the last time you have a new baby when:
  • you nurse right into menopause   
When you have a new baby and fail it's probably because:
  • you don't follow her lead. babies tell you exactly what they want and if you just give them that, all is a beautiful flow   
  • you are too selfish   
  • you are human, keep trying   
  • you are judging yourself too harshly   
What would be different in the idea (you have a new baby) if you had a million dollars:
  • get a night nanny and sleep more   
  • join all the fun new baby hotspots and classes   
  • two words: au pair   
  • a personal chef and housekeeper   
  • i would be a part time stay at home mom   
  • spa day!!!   
If you have a new baby it's probably because:
  • you scored   
  • you've been blessed   
  • you're crazy   
  • all of the above   


Never ceases to amaze me how you found it:

  • Should babies sleep with their arms above their heads
  • What you need when you have a new baby
  • Baby sleeps with arms above head
  • Have been blessed with a new baby
