You don't need it all right away, so there's a gradual accumulation to everything. And some things other parents won't need- like the GAZILLION burpcloths and outfit changes that Ben required because he spit up constantly. Or the swaddles, some babies don't like them. And Ben wasn't super into his swing, so we only used it for a few months. That kind of thing. But every nursing mama needs that nursing tank. Or three if she can afford it. And a good pillow that she likes, lanolin, nursing pads and a good comfy chair. It doesnt have to rock but it's nice if it does. The rest, eh, people will give you stuff! More stuff than you need, if you can believe it! I am so excited for the emails. I love helping out where I can, because my friends certainly helped me. Ya, it is a lot of stuff.

All that and more before the baby comes?!!? Good lord I am thankful I will have 8-9 months to figure this stuff out. Expect emails. Just sayin.

I used to think that once I got it down, I'd have 'it'. Little did I know how fluid it would all be and how many changes and adjustments I'd have to make along the way. I also realize that all his life, we are constantly weaning him of something. Naps. Nursing. Training wheels. Baby steps are always being made somewhere. Ah. Yes I miss those early days, and I'm looking forward to doing it again hopefully soon. Yep. I used to think that once I got it down, I’d have ‘it’.

It's definitely harder for others and when your parent it's all about empathy and as you said bringing them a cup of coffee when they need it most. Thanks for sharing Mary!!

And just the reminder I needed currently going through a rough sleep patch. If only there really was a go-to method that always worked and solved all our problems...but then it wouldn't be such a wild adventure! Beautifully written and AMEN to it all!

It's progesterone poisoning, really". Hang in there!
