Ten Things Tuesday

Ten Things I Was Definitely Prepared for in Mommyhood

1. Diapers - honestly, I babysat A LOT from about age 10 on (thanks cousin Patty)
2. Playtime
3. Sleep deprivation - it really is true what they say; pregnancy totally prepared me for this
4. Singing songs
5. Birth - I studied constantly during my 3rd trimester; I was totally ready for a natural childbirth
6. Cuddling
7. Breastfeeding - this time I mean the act, not the time involved
8. Slobbery kisses
9. Sweet baby smell
10. Having a son - he's all boy for sure!

Ten Things Tuesday

I've seen some other bloggers do this kind of thing, and this idea just came to me. I want to start doing Ten Things Tuesday where I list ten things about...well, whatever inspires me that week! Feel free to join me.

Ten Things Nothing and No One Could Have Prepared Me For in Mommyhood
1. Breastfeeding - not so much the act, but the time involved
2. Colic & having a high-need baby
3. Co-napping/sleeping - now one of my favorite parts
4. Loss of all personal time, especially daytime
5. Daddy jealousy
6. My ability and desire to stare at one human being for hours on end
7. Daily self doubt - I pray a lot!
8. My interest in another person's poop schedule
9. The 4th, 5th, and 6th trimesters - no, I'm not pregnant again, I just wear a baby around most of the day and have been doing so for the past 6 months
10. Seeing everything around us as a hazard!
