1. In terms of miles (of sleep) per gallon (of milk), our baby is more Hummer than Prius.
2. We need a device that helps our baby sleep in her bed, something that simulates being held and/or rocked. They don't manufacture faux warm arms, though, and I'm afraid to google the words that will help me find what I'm looking for..."soothing," "vibrate"...
3. We have a wee baby who makes gigantic growling and grunting sounds.
4. There's nothing graceful about pumping breastmilk.
5. When our baby cries or gets ready to, her eyes look just like the emoticon of scrunchy eyes and waily mouth. Kind of cracks me up.
6. Tootsie still has "preemie head": long from nose to back of head and narrow from the front, because of sleeping on her side. They told me in the NICU to round it out by placing her on her back to sleep (of course), but she turns her head to the side. She is going to need to spend a lot more time in her carseat to round things out.
7. She's growing out of newborn clothes! But not newborn behaviors.
8. I predicted when she reached her due date she would start crying more...I was right. She's debuting as a regular baby.
9. So much about parenting has to do with surrender.
10. "It's my last baby" is my hidden, guilty excuse...
