First ever month of parenting complete.
The most important take home lessons.
- You can function on just 4 hours sleep a day (it will be clumsy and you will find hundreds of ways to knock over the same lamp)
- You can cry in m&s car park because the car seat is stuck to the buggy (calling your Dad will still be needed).
- You will run out of underwear as you have been too busy washing baby clothes. (Don’t worry was quicker to buy more)
- Even if a baby has just fed, they will wake to the smell of your dinner/tea and take another 5 ounces (likely to be over a much slower time than if your food/tea was not going cold)
- Wet wipes are essential and need to go everywhere with you
- A nappy can be soaked and yet you can still be pee,ed on (this may also hit them in the face)
- The day you only have one outfit for them, will be the day they can shit through 4 layers (this will also be the day the public toilet is occupied for 20 mins)
- Bottles are never made up fast enough, even if you start before they wake up.
- Washing and styling your hair is an achievement
- Cold coffee is essential
But absolutely loving you and how much you have stolen my world. At this point I am also beyond grateful for my partner and a second pair of hands.
