Rookie Parents

Getting used to a new baby in our home has been challenging. One does not fully understand being a parent until you have to literally lose over half of your sleep every single night. I have often thought and now simpethize with single parents. I think I would have already fallen off my rocker if not for Aaron. 

Abram will be a month old tomorrow. Where did that time go? I have almost forgotten the birth and the fear that we felt when we knew he was coming early. Now our days consist of spending our mornings at the park and as many naps as we can get in. Babies can be so boring (just being honest here) but at the same time so hard to occupy when they are not sleeping. Is it just me or does every parent of a new born feel as though they need to be right in baby's face when he is awake? Spending every single day with someone who cannot say "hey mom lets for a car ride or to lunch" gets a little lonely. 


I have learned a lot this month and Im sure I will only learn more on a daily basis....


  • Babies really like to suck.... like all the time! My heavens!
  • This baby can soil as many diapers as possible in one feeding sitting... Again My heavens!!
  • Babies are totally confused as to what time of day it is.
  • Abram has this eating radar. When Mommy starts stuffing her face Abram wants to do the same. 
  • Babies are not confined to breakfast, lunch and supper meals..... they eat literally all day. Lets all say it together MY HEAVENS!
  • Your baby must be the most amazing thing God has created soooo you take a million photos and you elaborate on the smallest things (sorry for all the text messages you all).
Well lets see what we can learn in this next month :) 
Back to Abram I gooooooo!

  1. lol, we (other moms) could have shared this info with you but you wouldn't have believed us. Time flys, before you know it they are walking, then asking for car keys, then married and having kids of their own. Treasure every moment with this precious gift from God!
