Okay, so it's been 6 months and 23 days, but who's counting?
One of the most common pieces of advice new parents get from people who are already parents is 'Enjoy this time, it goes by way too fast.' And you think to yourself, well yeah, just 'cause you didn't take the time to enjoy your kid doesn't mean that I'm going to do the same. Then you have a baby, and hours turn into days, days turn into weeks and before you know it you're sitting on your couch having put your precious baby to sleep and you think 'where did the past 7 (6 months and 23 days) go?' And even worse, you start giving new parents the exact same advice. Lame.
| No seriously, where'd the time go? |
I felt like time flew by after month 4. The first 3 months were so hard, and because I was AWAKE for so many more hours than usual... I felt like they were the longest months ever. Every time someone said 'Treasure this time, it goes by so fast' I was like, 'Are you kidding me??'

I'm glad you've started a blog Eve! Your first two posts are great. Daniel is 10weeks 5 days..but who's counting! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks, Steph!
ReplyDeleteLaura: For me the first 10 days were the WORST! I'll write a blog post about just how bad sometime soon. I think if we weren't travelling for months 2 and 3 it would have been miserably slow as well. But after month 4 it's like you're on a rollercoaster ride!
