1. Premie clothes are hard to find. Especially premie onesies.
2. Premie diapers are $2.00 cheaper at Babies R Us than at Walmart. Yeah, go figure!
3. For some reason, Premie diapers don't come in Value packs or big boxes, try 30-34 count packs.
4. That I would find a dirty diaper in the clothes hamper. We're not sure if it was Davis or myself, but one of us was so tired that one night we mixed up the garbage and the clothes hamper! oops! Just glad it didn't go through the wash...
5. There truly is love at first sight.
6. How paranoid I could be about making sure my baby was still breathing, even if it means triple checking.
7. That I would laugh when I got pooped on. It's amazing how far baby poop squirts!
8. How cute a tiny baby is! And how entertaining it is to just look at his perfect little face for hours.
9. That skinny babies are just as cute as chubby babies. (if not cuter!)
10. That I can survive on only a few hours of sleep every day.

While I can see the reasons and explanations for numbers one through six and eight through ten it's number seven that I find disturbing. I am not entirely sure that number seven is normal... I am not a parent so I can't say for sure but it's a little weird.
what a cute post! Can't imagine how excited your family must be to come to town and visit baby Gavin :)
Wow Sounds like Gavin is a good teacher!!! It sounds like you are loving being a mom, I can't wait!
Haha, i felt the same way on most of those. Isn't it funny how things are quick to learn and change?
I find it interesting how even though you get frustrated by the lack of sleep and stresses of being a mother, that when things calm and you are holding your baby in your arms, you love him more and more everyday!
Linda! Congratuations! He looks just like Scott to me! (oh- btw- this is Kati Miller Baxter from good ol' High School) What a cutie! I just had a baby myself about 5 weeks ago! He is my third and is also a tiny skinny adorable baby! My other two were chunks- and I have to say that skinny babies and chunky babies are completely and absolutely so cute! I loved your list of what you have learned- it makes me laugh because I can totally relate even with checking the baby 3x to make sure he is breathing- lol! Anyway, Wendy had mentioned you had your baby, just wanted to write you a quick note to tell you how cute he is! Hope all is well for you guys and Merry Christmas!
The boys are having fun oooing and ahhhing over their new cousin. Josh (6) said "That's MY cousin? I LOVE him!"
I love your fam. picture...IT'S BEAUTIFUL!! And that "big" picture at the top....makes me want to have another baby, since I can't see Gavin!
