things i have learned

i have learned a lot in the last three weeks of motherhood. here are a few of the high points:

1. i have the cutest baby on the planet
2. they weren't kidding when they said "buy more diapers"
3. baby boogers are much less icky than grown-up boogers
4. time now moves fourteen times faster than it did prior to the arrival of brooks
5. "i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" is more true than ever...this includes being able to function on four hours of sleep.
6. there is nothing hotter than a husband who says, "why don't you make a bottle so i can do the 3 a.m. feeding for you while you sleep". two nights in a row. God bless him.
7. i have a new appreciation for my beautiful, skinny ankles. welcome back ankles.
8. there is nothing more fun than staring at my son while he looks back at me with those big eyes and his little "o" mouth
9. "i got a lot done today" now means that i managed to take a shower, have on clean clothes, and accomplished at least one other task.
10. the vibration/music/nightlight machine that came with our pack-n-play should win a nobel peace prize. and we should've bought stock in AA batteries.
11.  i am "one of those" moms...the ones who take ridiculous pictures of their children...and post them for all to see. you're welcome. :)
