Lessons Learned

It takes becoming a mom to truely appreciate your own.

When you need a burp cloth a blanket will be the only thing around. And vice versa.

A smile is worth a thousand words.

There are never 24 hours in a day, sometimes there are 36 and others only 3.

"Mom" is not a title, a job, or a name. It's a way of life.

Elizabeth Taylor can keep her diamonds, it's the macaroni necklaces I'm looking forward too.

Laundry is never "done".

Money and happiness are completely unrelated.

Baby kisses are worth more than all the money in the world.

"Shopping" is a chore, not a recreational activity.

Babies don't care what size your pants are, just how big your smile can get.

"Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is bolony. Parenthood is much closer, and a parent's house is never entirely clean.

No matter how long you wait, the dish fairy will never come. The stench however, always will.

Teenage boys are scary. I've changed my opinion on owning a shotgun.

No one will ever see the state of your bathroom cupboards. If the nail polish is in with the tampons it'll be ok.

God knew what He was doing when He created families, Grandmas are indispensible.

Advice is not law, everyone has thier own opinion. And when you have a newborn you get more advice than you ever thought possible.

A crying child is not a dying child, sometimes they're learning to sing.

Hormones hurt.

The best moments in life are not spent on beaches in Maui at sunset. They are snuggled up in bed with baby and daddy on a sleepy saturday morning listening to the rain.

Showering at 9:00 pm still counts as getting a shower that day.

You'll never know how strong you are until you're pushed past where you thought your limits where.

It's only been two months but already I have learned more and grown more than I expected. I love being a mom more and more each day and I can't wait for each new day and each new mess, smile, headache and giggle and laugh.


(ok, I lied a little about the headaches. I can wait.)

This is so precious. I bet you are the best parents around! And by the way, your little girl is simply adorable. There are very few babies that come out looking that cute right away, yours is one of them. She is just too cute! Good luck with all you do!

I love it! I love that you are so excited about mothering and all it brings. Little Rayne is a lucky little girl.

Yay, an update! I've been wondering how you two wear doing with your new little addition. :)What a great list, I'm sure that it will continue to grow with every passing day!

ALL VERY TRUE!! IT REALLY IS AMAZING HOW MUCH MORE YOU LOVE AND APPRICATE YOUR PARENTS WHEN YOU BECOME ONE. BEING A MOM IS THE HAREST JOB IN THE WORLD, BUT ITS THE MOST REWARDING. I BET YOUR A CUTE MOM. I HOPE WE GET TO SEE HERE SOMETIME SOON.

Oh the widsom of a young mom!!!! Isn't it amazing how much you can learn in the first year of marriage. You grow as a couple and then you grow as a family learning how everything fits together. The two or you are doing such an amazing job. We love you soo much!!!

{leah}

Oh... and the laundry fairy never comes either... cheap I know, but that's how it is. I thought I would let you know before you run out of underwear.
