On Friday Stephen will be 1 month old! On one hand I can't believe that he is already 1 month old, but on the other hand it's only been one month since Stephen has been born and I can't remember how my life was before Stephen joined our family. In this short, but long month, of parenthood, I have learned so much, and I decided that I would record my findings in a top 10 list. For those of you who are already parents, you will probably be thinking "I told you so," followed by a few head nods, and if we're lucky a smile. For those of you with out kids, I am not sure what you will be thinking, because like I said, I can't quite remember what my life was like before Stephen blessed us with his presence.
Top 10 list of what I have learned ....
10. The true power of the "power nap"
9. How quickly the day can fly by while the night can last so long
8. Late night television .... It's amazing what people try to sale at 2:00 a.m.
7. The true meaning behind the phrase "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"
6. How much can be accomplished with just 1 hand
5. I am apparently obsessed with poop .... how often it comes ... the color ... how much is there
(yep its pretty disturbing)
4. How long I can sit and stare at little things ... little fingers, little toes, little nose, little ears, ect. ect.
3. How instantly a smile can melt away ALL your troubles (even if the smile is gas related)
2. How the love and support of family and friends is truly price less
1. How there can be so much love in your heart that you think it will burst!!
