You know you have a newborn when...

  • it's 8:30 A.M. and you're ready for a nap!
  • you can make a lovely wig for Barbie each time you run a brush through your own hair.
  • you've been pooped on, peed on and puked on in the last 24 hours.
  • you wish they sold Oxy Clean or Spray-n-Wash by the gallon.
  • there is a faint odor of spoiled milk that follows you wherever you go.
  • you trip over the bouncy seat that's in the middle of the living room floor for the 17th time.
  • your children are dressed and fed, but it's almost lunch time and you're still in your pajamas.
  • you've sung every song you've ever heard and made up a few more to keep your little one calm.
  • you've rubbed a path in the carpet from walking the same way each evening...because heaven forbid that you should hold that baby and try to sit down!
  • you know what time and channel the M*A*S*H re-runs are on. (Late!)
  • your oldest daughter asks, "Mommy, are you happy?" and again you reply, "Yes, honey. I'm just very tired!"

But it is OH SO WORTH IT!!!

OK, much to comment on
1) love the picture on your header, VERY sweet!
2) Ally's face...priceless!
3) I must go to see the Sawtooths....I love the MTNS and those are beautiful, we should go camping together someday!
4) Loved you're list of newborn comments... I'm too tired to think of any and probably have forgotten some too.
5) Loved seeing you guys at McD's!
