My first surprise with my daughter was actually how easily everything about motherhood came to me. It's like my instincts took over and I was on mama-autopilot. Of course everything wasn't easy, and I had a few breakdowns in my first year (three that I can recall), but making the transition from an individual person to a mother (believe me when I say a mother is no longer an "individual") was so smooth I didn't even notice it. It was a wonderful surprise!on 01/07/10Replymomof3
Definitely the hardest transition is from zero to one! Everything changed for me...my time, my priorities, my wardrobe, you name it, my life turned upside down. I couldn't imagine that it was going to be that way. But, then that became the new normal...someone else was always FIRST. Always. So, having #2 and #3 wasn't really as big of a deal. From 2-3 we just shifted from man-to-man to a zone defense! (-: Motherhood is the hardest, most wonderful job there is!on 01/16/10Reply

@LAmama: He can try a couple things...have him feed her when she is really hungry, like first thing in the morning...have him wear your t-shirt, or something that smells like you...have him heat up the bottle a bit (on stove, do NOT put breast milk in micro)...and have him put a little breast milk on the nipple of the bottle before he gives it to her. Be patient. She'll take it when she's hungry enough. Good luck!on 11/11/09Reply -

Wait until she is sleeping and then JUMP IN...you might have to get used to curly hair for awhile, but pretty soon, you'll be able to dry it too! (-: Remember, babies love the sound of the shower and the hair dryer...so, keep her close and she might surprise you! xxxon 09/30/09Reply -
