So beautiful! ...Congratulations on your new baby! So beautiful! Glad to hear all went well. I see you're doing NaNoWriMo, too, and still typing on the typewriter (I got one, too, this summer on the Free-cycle list). Anyway, congrats again! --Teri (from LDS MindSpill... by the way, I'm washbear on the NaNo forum, if you want to add me to your buddy list.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562280238628341139.post-23685082596066261002008-10-07T12:01:00.000-06:002008-10-07T12:01:00.000-06:00There's always a tinge of regret, usually around 2...There's always a tinge of regret, usually around 2:00 AM diaper changes or experiencing the tyranny of teething for the very first time. The pluses far outweigh the negatives, especially once those first few weeks are mastered.<BR/><BR/>Kids <I>do</I> change your life, though, there's no point in pretending otherwise. Gone are the days of getting out the door without a half-hour prep time, or of seeing a first-run movie without Logistics being involved. In their stead your days are filled with celebrations and milestones and laughter and tears, and yes, endless poop-talks. I wouldn't trade my kids for anything, though I would have gladly shipped them overseas for age four.

There's a hint of negativity, like you're trapped now and going to regret what might have been. No parent-to-be should have to add that to the uncertainty already filling their head. If anyone asks me now what parenthood is like, I say, "It's an amazing experience."<BR/><BR/>But your life <I>will</I> change in one peculiar way. Just wait till the day you realize that the majority of your adult conversations now revolve around poop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562280238628341139.post-90871991384151502632008-10-06T19:11:00.000-06:002008-10-06T19:11:00.000-06:00Aw, she's gorgeous!
