Mommy Lessons

I haven't been ending my posts as I usually do. So I thought I'd reflect on what a month of motherhood has taught me.

- Time flies. Not just the past month, but the minutes and hours in a day. I can pass eight hours in the blink of an eye. Its so different than when I was pregnant and time moved so slowly.

- I really enjoy breastfeeding. Its weird to think that I make milk. Troy's tried telling me that 50% of all mammals make milk, but its still kind of strange. However, there's something about looking down and seeing Grant eat that is so peaceful. I'm making his food, and he is growing, all because of me.

- I don't need eight hours of sleep. Six hours, interupted by a crying, hungry baby, is enough.

- Troy is much more helpful than I figured he'd be. There are still some areas that's we're learning about (ALWAYS refrigerate leftover breastmilk!), but he's wonderful. And funny.

I'm sure there's tons more that I've learned. But this is good for now.
