What I have learned in Anna's
second week of life (not an exclusive list, just some of the highlights).
1. Babies have no concept of
schedule or convenience.
2. People feel a need to share
their “one out of a million chance” horror baby story with you and think it is
comforting to hear.
3. Everyone has an opinion on how
to raise your child. Makes me think of the old saying… “Opinions are like
butts...everyone has one and most of them stink.”
4. It was way more difficult
to go back to work than I thought it would be.
5. The phrase “which end is that
sputtering coming from” is now a daily question. (More like hourly)
6. When I
tell folks that Anna has been sleeping well and their response is “just wait,
that’ll change”…it seems to always be someone who had a little one that didn’t
sleep well…and they are just jealous. 
7. While changing a diaper, if you hear a “bodily
gurgle” sound…do not lift up to look and see what it was.
8. There are lots of
“rules” to parenting and Amy and I break most of them already…and Anna is doing
just fine.
9. Taking babies out with you (to Lowes specifically) gets you
faster service.
10. A lot of folks have no faith in the ability of a new dad.
(I’m getting the sense that the bar is very low for Dad’s in general, and this
saddens me)
11. There is not a lot of consistency in sizing for babies
clothing.
12. It is amazing how quickly human beings form habits, even at only
2 weeks old.
