10 Things No One Told Me About Being a New Mom

1. Breastfeeding *can* be the most rewarding, yet most frustrating thing you will ever do. 
2. That (damn) Moro Reflex, once deemed cute, will undoubtedly keep both you & your baby from sleep at some point. 
3. Opening a bag of chips will wake your baby from peaceful slumber while something as loud as siren probably wont. Eat all the chips you can now. 
4. In the same day it is possible to feel like the worst mom ever one minute and just the opposite the next. 
5. Deep sleep is hard to come by. You realize you will sleep soundly again one day when you die. But not until then. 
6. Forget watching a TV program all the way through without any interruption. Binge watch when pregnant. 
7. Pretty much anything you swore you wouldnt do, you will do, so better off not saying it. 
8. Getting peed, pooped, drooled, or spit up on (notice I didnt say vomit here) isnt really that bad after all. Not being facetious here. 
9. You will likely have a whole new set of appreciation for your own parents, especially your mom. Yes, it sounds cliche, but it is true. 
10. It is possible to care for another human being (that has been in your life for just a short time) with a love so pure you never knew existed.
