- how quickly i have to learn how to use my left hand to do everything from type to write to cook to clean to go to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, seeing how my children prefer i hold them with my right
- how difficult it is to time a shower, because lets face it, when she sleeps i used to sleep, now i just play catch up o laundry, bills, or the latest art project/mess/kitchen disaster Faith has created
- how slow my left hand is
- how laundry isn't folded, jut sorted into a clean pile to be folded by those who care to fold their stuff
- how breakfast becomes anything you can open and eat with one hand, cereal isn't an option due to the fat milk is complicated to pour and spoon with your non-dominent hand
- lunch is the same
- dinner is too
- only now i have to feed Faith and she cant survive off of/nor will i feed her packaged junk... therefore i have to plan ahead...way ahead ex:yesterday i bought,cleaned and stored enough berries for the week [and a small army] so she could have her snacks and such
- ps even pasta is hard bc boiling water is not an option
- how many things you throw away because let's face it , those nasty yellow poopy messes do not come out no matter what magical stuff you put on there, thus lot of onesies end up in the trash
- how fun it is to watch her discover her surroundings
- how she focuses in on our faces, and turns toward voices she knows
- how precious her cries are
- how much easier it gets every day
- and yet how fast this time will pass
loving it all

well written...that all sounds so familiar and it is so true that it gets easier everyday and that it all happens so (too) fast. i'm glad to hear you are enjoying it and i also loved your discription of faith as a little lady :)
Amen. I still feel like that and Jaeda is 4 months old! Too bad I don't live there we could all get together and swap our stories and support each other being tired!
lol..I can relate to a bunch of this stuff!
Christine, my dear daughter, you do an awesome job of managing yourself and love, love, loving your family. You continue to amaze me and make me proud every day! Your Mom
