* Getting 2 hours of sleep at a time really isn't so bad. Yes, napping when she naps sometimes during the day helps tremendously as well. But it's really surprised me how well I've done on little sleep. It helps, too, that Molly typically does really well at night, waking up for feedings every 3 hours at the most. And yes, she typically goes right back down.
* Babies really do grow too quickly. Molly's already trying to hold up her head! And she's growing out of some of her newborn clothes, specifically this onesie that's my very favorite. I'm pretty sure last night was the last time she'll wear it. She's too long for it!
Here she is in my favorite onesie in the hospital. It was really too big then! Only 4 weeks ago!!
* Just when you think you got the whole mommy-thing down pat, something new happens to throw you for a loop!
* Girls will tinkle all over you when you're changing them! That's not just a boy thing!
* 7 pounds of love can certainly steal a man's heart
* A sleeping child is really a beautiful sight!
* Wardrobe issues for a new mommy are not fun!
The days go by quickly and are often such a blur. But it's full of love, fun, joy and sunshine. All in the form of our precious baby girl! And I wouldn't have it any other way!

aw, sweet baby girl! love the pictures :)
Love your "lessons learned" they made me smile :)
What a sweet post!! I love the sleeping picture of her....that is so precious! I'm glad you're having such a great time being a Mommy! I can't believe Molly is already 4 wks old!!
No one said parenting would be easy. Glad to see you're taking the bumps with stride and have a good overall perspective.
Love it! All of it is so true! So proud of you and that's awesome that you're nursing! Hope it's getting easier!
oh yes, wardrobe, nursing, little sleep... it all comes with that precious bundle! :) she is beautiful!! And you are right, everytime you think you have something down, things change and then you are thrown for a loop again. :) you'll get into the rhythm though soon... enjoy!
I agree with them all...especially with the mommy wardrobe issues. Good grief; my boobs are huge and stomach flabby - not a good combo!
LOVE that picture of MM sleeping. So glad you captured that sweet moment.
Isn't it fun learning all of those new things?
I wouldn't trade it for the world. Well maybe the mommy wardrobe thing, because us mom's wanna look cute too. hehe

All those things are sooo true...the nursing one is the MOST true and so challenging, but so rewarding if you are able! She's an ANGEL!!!
