Every once in awhile I have this "Aha!" moment. Yes, it is only every once in awhile, not very often. It's at those moments when I have an epiphany concerning motherhood, babies, and life in general. So far, I have learned two what I call, "Mommy Lessons." That's not bad considering that Nehemiah is two months old. A lesson a month isn't too bad, is it?
Anyway, so here they are, lessons one and two. Maybe my "aha" moments can help someone else, but at least I can keep them here to remember them myself. Otherwise, I would surely forget.
#1 - Sometimes it's ok to break my own rules in order to get some sleep.
If the only place baby will sleep at night is the swing, it's ok to let him sleep there for a night or so. Mom and Dad need sleep too.
#2 - Listen to your own advice.
If you give helpful hints concerning baby to others (example: Don't worry about all of the weird noises he makes while sleeping. If he needs something he'll start crying.) don't forget to follow the same advice for yourself.
So that's two lessons I've learned so far. I'm sure that there will be a TON more to come. Stay tuned for more.
