I completely forgot that when you have a newborn...

...sometimes showering is a luxury...
...sometimes you don't even notice the spit up on your shirt...
...sometimes they make the weirdest noises...and usually those noises are followed by a screaming baby and an unpleasant odor coming from somewhere near you...
...sometimes the hiccups are your worst enemy...
...sometimes no matter how quiet you are, the startle reflex still happens...
...sometimes they just want the bottle in their mouth...they have no intention to eat anything...
...sometimes they actually don't cry during a bath and you wonder if they finally remember that just a little while ago they were swimming in fluid 24/7 so why should they cry during a bath?...
...sometimes they act like lotion feels like acid...
...sometimes your furniture gets spit up on too...
...sometimes you want to rip the phone right out of the wall for waking them up...
...sometimes they sleep through an entire army of noisy children or a crowded restaurant, but they can't seem to sleep through you walking in the room...

But I also forgot how completely wonderful it is to...
...hear them coo...
...watch their eyes learn to focus...
...see their first smile...
...hear a tiny giggle...
...watch their arms and legs circle in the air in jerky movements trying to work their muscles...
...smell their newly lotioned skin after a warm bath...
...snuggle with your little girl on your chest sweetly sleeping...

God IS good. All the time.
