And How

Things I Already Forgot (about newborns)

  • Breastfeeding makes you extremely hungry, thirsty, and sleepy...all at the same time.  I forget about this until I've got my newborn good and latched on and then realize I forgot to grab a snack or drink.
  • Speaking of hungry...breastfeeding "hunger" is much more intense than pregnancy "hunger."
  • It's fun to play dress-up with a new baby...they look cute in everything.  It is not much fun for the baby...she hates it.
  • Nothing stimulates baby's bladder and bowels like a clean diaper.  Nothing.
  • Babies are little, but their cries are not.  In the middle of the night, it is the loudest sound imaginable!
  • Spit-up happens (always on a cute outfit or on my side of the bed).
  • Apparently, Packard babies always look alike...boy or girl (see evidence below):
    Exhibit A (Penn)
    Exhibit B (Jude)
    Exhibit C (Anna)
    Thank you and goodnight:)
