Since Having a Baby

I've been reminded of and learned a few things:

1. Babies have nasty poop.  It comes in all shades and colors.  Also, baby has a tendancy to stick her little feet in it when changing diapers.  Ah poop.
2. Sleep.  It is not overrated. Surprisingly, I've been getting some.  Our newest little bugger is a good eater and a pretty good sleeper.
3. My husband kicks butt.  He's 50/50 with me on all feedings, diaper changes, baths, etc.
4. I no longer have to pee every 15 minutes and it is glorious.
5. I cannot sneeze properly.  No stomach muscles is odd.  Situps are in my future.  On the bright side, when I do manage a sneeze, I don't pee my pants.
6. Maternity leave is not boring.  Visitors have been plentiful and when I don't have visitors, I've had a 'to do' list a mile long to take care of.  It's already going too fast.
7. Babies smell good.
8. The clothes that I wore pre-pregnancy fit again, however; I dislike all of them.  Time to do some power shopping.
9. Having two kids is wonderful.  Lilly loves her little sister and I love her even more for it.
10. I missed wine.  I missed it alot.  Happy to be reunited.

So, all that being said, we are adjusting to two kids pretty good.  Callie is such a good baby; I couldn't be more blessed.  Lilly is still her playful self and doesn't want to give the baby away, so that's a good sign.  Jereme and I are happy, proud parents :)

Who wouldn't love these two beauties!
