(I wrote this a couple weeks after Futcher turned 1, but apparently forgot to publish it. )
We did it! The 3 of us survived our first year. Brendan and I as new parents kept this human alive.
Somethings being a parent has taught me:
-Breastfeeding is not for the faint of heart
- I am stronger than I thought I was. Physically, mentally, and emotionally
- I am capable of surviving on less sleep than I used to (I am the queen of sleep and before having a child would religiously sleep 9-10 hours a night)
-Snot, poop, and spit up aren't that bad when they come from a tiny human
-I can cook any meal with 1 hand while holding a baby/toddler
The most important thing I can do for my son is give him my time.
