Forgotten things...

Since having a baby somethings have been forgotten, and some forgotten things have been remembered...

1. What a full nights' sleep feels like
2. How sweet a newborn smells
3. Precious coos and squeaks!
4. The pot of water boiling on the stove... lunch... oh well, try again at dinner.
5. What it feels like to leak, profusely
6. A doughnut... to sit on!
7. How insanely good a shower feels
8. The older sibling in the bath tub, who has to ask if he can get out because he's all wrinkly... oops!
9. Carrying a baby in one hand all nestled up under your chin
10. The first belly giggles from a sleeping newborn
11. Diapers that don't contain as much as their advertisement wants you to believe they do
12. Mount Laundry
13. Irrational fears involving the baby being lost under the pillow (usually at 2am)
14. How big baby equipment is
15. The race to get out the door with clean clothes on, diaper bag, baby fed and baby + other children safely in tow... and hair brushed? Is that really a requirement?? Did I get that done?
16. How good it feels to get a baby burp
17. Counting poopy diapers vs. wet ones
18. The pain of needing to feed a baby who isn't hungry, but really should be!
19. How sweet they are asleep
20. The deep, deep awe at this little life in your arms - such a perfect miracle!
