I didn't know babies peed and pooped so much...I thought I would be changing 3-4 diapers a day!

The post partum hormones!!! I've been around tiny babies my whole life so I knew what to expect from her. But I didn't know how hard things would be for me.
-
How NOT FUN it can be sometimes. Everyone always tries to warn you but you never know until you have the baby that it's hard work!
-
How long it took for me to bond with my daughter and for me to say i love you and really mean it. This is coming from someone who's known as the baby-hogger!
-
The sleep deprivation.
@Rubies: i totally know what you mean. When people say there is nothing bad about being a parent i think they are either lying or only spend like 20 minutes a day with their kid!!
-
That I can actually function pretty well on limited/broken sleep. And how many times a day newborn babies poop (LO pooped like 12 times a day the first two weeks).
-
How hard it is! What a hard lesson it is to learn true selflessness.
-
How often I would get peed on...
-
@caffeinated:
sleep deprivation sucks bum-bum.
-
How little sleep I would actually get. I knew they woke up a lot, but didn't realize I would be THIS tired all the time.
-
mine is the exact opposite - i didn't know a baby could poop so LITTLE. ha!
-
The lack of routine/normalcy. I'm OK with being tired and working hard or whatever. But I'm a very neat/organized person, and I had no clue how hard it would be for me to lose that order!
-
@MamaMoose: same. I was a mess for 2-3 weeks. Damn those hormones.
-
@MamaMoose: yes. I felt so foggy and out of it at first. It was really scary to feel that way and have to take care of a newborn at the same time.
-
I always worked a professional job & a part time retail job so I'd leave the house at 7:30am and wouldn't return until after midnight on a regular basis, I thought the no sleep thing would be a breeze for me! How very wrong I was! haha - I forgot that I got to "catch up" every once and a while before DS, now that never happens. Ever.
-
I can function on way less sleep than I thought!
-
I never knew babies had to sleep so much or that they would not just zonk out on their own if they needed to sleep!
-
I had no idea how much time I would spend trying to get baby to take naps!!!
-
I've been working with around babies and kids for years but I also didn't realize how stressful it would be for me to have life be so unpredictable 24/7 and constantly feel like I'm not sure what the right thing to do is!
-
How devastating it was to my work productivity.
-
What a roller coaster ride the first 4-6 weeks would really be. I thought I knew, but I had NO idea.
sleep deprivation sucks bum-bum.
