As a new mother, these are the things I know for sure.
There comes a point when you're so sleep deprived, it turns into a battle of the wills. It begins to feel like a state of mind, so to turn your day into one where you're awake, aware and ready to face the challenges that come into play, turn your mind around and do what you need to: have that cup of coffee in the afternoon, jog half a mile to boost up the endorphins, have a cat nap when your baby goes down.
I know more about poop than I ever anticipated to. Sadly, it's true. I have experienced poop (and streams of pee) on my arm, neck, elbow. I have wiped poop off of the baby room walls and sighed deeply. I have wondered if this intimate of a relationship with poop is healthy. That I don't know, but for my life and his - it's necessary.
Life is meant to be lived in the moment. Whether I am dodging my son's 'fountain of pee', washing his clothes yet again (!), and feeling his neck nuzzle in the crevese of mine, life with him is meant to be lived in the moment. No past, no future. Just today, and all the joys it brings me.
Be on the lookout for future additions to this list. I have a feeling as I go on this journey of motherhood, my knowlege and experience of life will grow too.
