- I need to keep more easy snacks around
- Things don’t go my way quite as often as they used to (sorry, homework, can you please just grade my good intentions?)
- Everything takes more time with a baby sleeping on your chest
- Running might keep me sane on entirely baby-filled days
- I need to continue pursuing my interests however I can
- I need somone to pay me to try all the recipes for decadent desserts and baked goods on pinterest
- My house is ok with being messy, but the laundry is 3 times more demanding
- Showering everyday is a must (baby spit-up is only one reason, but it is more than sufficient)
- Washing sheets twice a week is suddenly normal (you’d think it ‘d be the diaper leaking…but again baby spit-up)
- Washing the baby is essential. Twice a week would be great, but even just washing his face makes everyone happier.
- Finding socks that actually stay on those tiny adorable feet is an endeavor worth the effort.
- Cooking a meal is a big deal and it’s ok if the kitchen gets cleaned later than might be normal.
- Napping is essential.
