Lessons Learned by a Mother of 10 Days

#1. No matter how good your night of sleep was the night before, DO NOT skip your afternoon nap because you are not guaranteed that same good night of sleep again.

#2. Brush your teeth at the first chance you get... don't think you'll have time after breakfast... if you even get breakfast!

#3. If you feel like super mom in the morning and have the energy to do chores while your little one is sleeping, do them quickly because the energy probably won't remain through the afternoon.

#4. Wait until after a feeding to change the diaper.

#5. Don't dress your baby in "going out" clothes until she has been thoroughly burped.

Slowly, but surely, I am sure I'll get this mothering thing down. :)
