What I have learned the first 24 hours of being a dad. (The second time around)
1. Swaddling is still the oragami of the west… and I still suck at it! smile emoticon
2. Quivering lower lip may still break your heart… for a second, cause the kid’s not going to die! It is actually kinda cute.
3. 4th poopie diaper… “it’s not cute… there are hundreds in my future”
4. Waking up and seeing two little eyes staring at you … (still no words)
5. Before visitors show up it is still time to get mom decent…and throwing a sheet over her is not her idea of helping.
6. Doctors are invisible… and so are nurses – and anyone in a lab coat. (see #5)
7. Momma on pain meds is still one happy momma.
8. Toddler + Newborn … let the competition for attention begin!
9. Baby wipes are still equivalent to burning coals or barbed wire.
10. Sleep… get it when you can!
