Babies are cute, but they aren't easy

I appreciate honesty, in particular about child rearing considering I'm getting ready to start this party in six months. 

This new mom has some perspective about the challenges that I have in store for me. Not only is she honest, but she's funny too. 

Here's to the craziness to come...

  • It does not go by so fast.
  • They're up all night to get lucky.
  • Sleep deprivation is the worst.
  • The phrase "maternal instinct" stinks.
  • Hold your baby as much as you damn want.
  • Breast is best but...
  • It's called childREARing for a reason. I
  • Get out. 
  • Get support.
  • Get help.
  • Don't be too hard on yourself.
