I'm officially 3.5 months into motherhood and I feel confident saying I've already learned a few things. I learn something new every day and I do things I swore I would never do.
- I've learned that there truly is nothing like a mother's love for her child.
- The first shower after giving birth is the most amazing shower you'll ever take.
- Now that I'm a mommy, there are certain TV shows I have a hard time watching - case in point: Law & Order SVU.
- You can't hold a newborn "too much."
- You can't escape advice from strangers. Even the random lady outside Jason's Deli has an opinion on how you should be taking care of your baby.
- I swore I would never say "Shhhh the baby is sleeping" and yet I find myself shutting the bedroom door and tiptoeing around quietly while Kaelan is napping.
- Breastfeeding is not necessary to bond with your child, no matter what anyone says.
- Lactation Consultants are, for the the most part, full of shit.
- I really do have the most gorgeous child on the face of the planet.
- I promised myself my Facebook profile would NOT be littered with baby photos and baby status updates. I failed that promise miserably.
- Anyone who calls a stretch mark a "badge of honor" can join the Lactation Consultants in their big barrel of poo. I love my child. I hate my stretch marks.
- No matter what I'm doing, how I'm feeling, or where I am, a smile from Kaelan changes everything

Man, SVU went from being my favorite show to one of those I cannot bring myself to watch; the last time I watched it, LO was a week old and I bawled my eyes out. This is Pumpkin Lady from BBC, btw
