Parenthood is awesome. I've been hesitant to share how happy and lucky we feel because I know how beyond annoying some new parents can be. But here's the reality... I've decided I can't care what other people think because I have to document my babies life and our growth as a family.
So I thought I would share some things that I've learned in the last few weeks:
* I understand why the Lord usually provides 9 months to prepare- although I wouldn't change anything about our journey.
* Seeing Madelyn smile in the middle of the night is worth the lack of sleep.
* I should write a book about the things I learned and didn't learn while being a nanny.
*Cony and I have to consciously set time aside every day for us. It doesn't come as smoothly as it once did.
*I've gone days without washing my hair. Not a pretty picture.
* I've gone a day without brushing my teeth. Not sure how that happened.
*Finding time for the gym is near impossible unless I wait to go late at night. Thanks Johnathan and Afton for the rides!
*I'm reminded how much I want my sisters around when working on the nursery. I yearn for their input.
* My first week home without any help was a lot more challenging than I imagined. And it really has nothing to do with baby.
*One day I will hire a mommy's helper.
*I would rather have a clean kitchen than take the time to prepare a meal. I like to blame the fact we only have 28 inches of counter space.
*Running quick errands with a baby isn't possible.
*Our baby is remarkable. Period.
Where's Baby?
She has this happy face about 85% of the time.

dish all you want! there is NOTHING wrong with the joys/hardness/sorrows/happiness that comes along with being a new parent! She is BEAUTIFUL, and looks like a good mixture of you two, which means she was meant to be yours. :)
I would be very interested to hear about what you did and did not learn as a nanny. All your followers are excited to share in your joy. Keep the posts coming.
you'll get the hang of it... I didn't until after 6 mo of being a mom and I had 9 months to prepare... just so you know though 9 mo doesn't prepare you you just come to realize that even though being pregnant is a lot of work it's nothing compared to what lies ahead! Hang in there and you will get through it... in 6 mo time this will all be a big memory! A great memory cherish it all! they grow up way to fast!
