For my learning/remembering:
1. How not waking them up is the MOST important thing. Have a cramp? Massage it later. Gotta pee? Learn to deal. You will regret it when they start screaming. hehe (E is not so much like this anymore, but I remember it well.)
2. The insanity of the "love and protect" hormone surge after birth. Every cell in my body wanted to help him if he cried. When we went to the Mall, I wanted to wrap my whole self around his stroller.
It wasn't a fluke! (see below) And I think he's about ready to sleep in his own bed for the night!
