10 things about being a mom...

Being a mom is the hardest, most incredible, most wonderful thing I have ever experienced in my life! I just wanted to take the time to write down some of what I have learned...Here we go!

1. Baby snuggles, giggles, and smiles are the very best thing
2. I can't stop kissing his little cheeks...literally can't stop
3. I will never be ok with the smell of baby poop
4. Watching my son with my husband is one of my favorite things
5. The love I feel in my heart for my baby boy is unexplainable
6. I feel like I will always have spit up or drool somewhere on me
7. My house will never be as clean as it was before Nolan came into the world...and I'm learning to be ok with that
8. It's easier to find cute girl clothes than it is to find cute boy clothes...and girls have so many more sock options than boys!
9. Apparently, Nolan likes peas more than he likes sweet potatoes...which I TOTALLY didn't think would be the case...because the peas smell nastier than the sweet potatoes. Hm. It's so much fun getting to know my little man :)
10. Sometimes, I miss the days when life was a lot simpler...when going somewhere didn't require packing the whole house...when going to a movie and dinner with my husband was something we could decide to do 5 minutes before we left to do it....when I could sleep in as late as I wanted...but at the same time, I can NOT imagine my life without my adorable, wonderful, little boy. He brings so much joy to our life and I wouldn't go back for a second.
