It's all coming back to me...


Things I have remembered since Dane joined our bunch...
* Just how sweet babies smell and just how soft their skin is
* How to perform virtually all daily functions (including going to the bathroom--yes, you read that right) one-handed
* How beautiful a nap really can be
* That gross amounts of Disney movies and microwaveable meals can represent sanity rather than negligence
*How delicious baby smiles are
*How quickly sleep becomes a higher priority than showering
* How heavenly it is to snuggle a sleeping baby
*How much breast pumps make me feel like a dairy cow
*How much love 7 pounds 13 ounces can add to our home
