1. It is possible to love someone more than you love yourself.

2. Shopping for baby clothes, while not expensive in moderation, is addicting and can therefore become expensive. (I admit I may have a problem...)

3. There's no such thing as too many burp cloths. Seriously. Buy as many as you can and then buy some more. That's probably still not enough.

4. Asking for parenting advice on Facebook is probably a bad idea. (This one I did not learn through personal experience, thankfully.)

5. Ants are attracted to spit up. Weird, I know.


6. I am still not a morning person despite the two months of 5-6 a.m. baby wake-up calls.

7. Washing bottles is a never-ending chore. Just when you get a sink full washed, it's time for another feeding, and you start all over again.
