life with a newborn is...


tiring
rewarding
surprisingly full of laughs
(and also crying. sometimes hers, sometimes mine)
frustrating
all about figuring things out
(then figuring things out again when the things you already figured out no longer apply)
savoring sweet baby wake up time
surviving i-don't-want-to-sleep-but-i-need-to time
throwing any kind of routine out the window
eating lunch at 3 pm
changing diapers in a fast food booth
becoming the center of attention at the grocery store
changing 2 diapers at a time because she loves to pee in clean ones
kissing little feet
snuggling up close
making up nicknames and silly songs
taking adventures to costco and target
really thankful to have a partner in all of this
(and sometimes a margarita)
so full of love we couldn't imagine
and always, always worth it
