thoughts from a mom of a one-month old

Nursing gives me lots of time to think about what being a mom is all about. So I thought I would share some of my thoughts...
-being a mom is probably the hardest thing I have ever done
-being a mom is one of the most rewarding thing I have done
-I never thought I could love a little baby so much
-not being able to do whatever I want whenever I want is a lot harder than I thought I would be
-But not being able to hang out with Nelson as much anymore is way harder than not being able to do my own thing
-I didn't know I could love baby noises so much- there are so many!
-Speaking of noises, I didn't know it was possible for a baby to toot (and poop) so much while eating.
-I could probably just sit at stare at him all day long and not get bored
-It makes me laugh that he sometimes spits up out his nose and doesn't seem at all phased by it (maybe that is part of being a boy- "hey mom, look at me! I can shoot milk out my nose!!")
-I don't like the fact that maternity leave is already a third of the way over
-Both sides of my family are great and have made this transition to motherhood relatively smooth
-Not bathing him regularly means one really stinky baby. I didn't realize spit up milk could smell so bad!
-I am totally biased and I think that my son is the cutest baby in the world
-I feel like I am getting more confident and less overwhelmed (although there is still so much I don't know!!)
-During the first few weeks, I didn't know how it would be possible to have another child. But now I definitely want more!
-I am surprisingly not as tired as I thought I would be for only getting sleep in 3 hour increments (maybe I am just used to how tired I was while being pregnant so this doesn't seem so bad).

I think that is all for now. But in the mean time, enjoy a pic of the little guy!
