Now that I've been doing this "mom" thing for a few weeks, I have a few unanswered questions for those a little more experienced than me:
Why does air seem to encourage projectile pooping and peeing?
Why are newborns so noisy when they sleep?
When will I figure out the noise that means "feed me" and how it is different from the one that means "snuggle me."
Will I ever be able to turn off my brain long enough to REALLY sleep for a few hours?
Could I create a new perfume? It would be a lovely combination of milk and spit up - I think I could call is "Eau de New Mom."
Why does everything that hurts him hurt me twice as much? Seriously, a 12 day old with an infected circumcision? That's just not fair! Luckily, we were able to get him on some antibiotics and we're ALL a lot happier!
Will I ever be able to get out of the house before noon?
Will he ever be able to sleep in his bed by himself?
How can one little guy be so darn cute?!?
Why can't we get this breastfeeding thing down? If I pump and bottle feed him does that mean I'm a bad mom? Will I regret that I gave up too quickly? On that front, we have a lot going against us - some of it is due to the size and shape of me (I'll just say it, huge breasts and flat nipples), and some of it is due to his gassiness. They want me to feed him so he is sitting up. Hmm, that is tricky! Why does something so natural feel so unnatural?
Will I be able to go more than two days without feeling overwhelmed and crying?
Will I ever love anything or anyone as much as I love him?

Yes, everything will get better. It's just hard for a while. I always tell people that 8 weeks is a great milestone (baby is usually smiling and interacting more,) but 3 months is when things really start to click. Nursing, sleeping, scheduling, feeling competent, etc. Hang in there, you are doing wonderfully!!! :)
