- That there would be SO MUCH laundry!
- That I would be so happy/relieved to see poop and then have a 5 minute discussion about it.
- That going to the gym would be a luxury and grocery shopping would be considered “me time.”
- That I would still get a workout by running up and down the stairs, lifting a baby, getting a carseat in and out of the middle of the car, scrubbing surfaces, etc.
- That leaving Delaney, even for a few hours, would be so difficult.
- That sleeping until 7:15am would be considered “sleeping in.”
- That I could remain completely and endlessly fascinated and captivated by being in Delaney’s presence.
- That at least 1 hour of the day would be spent washing bottles and pump parts.
- That our house has more sharp corners, electrical outlets and glass than a hardware store.
- That watching a video monitor would replace watching TV.
- That even simple outings would require major coordination and effort. The days of hopping in the car and jetting off somewhere are over and are equally complicated, with or without the baby.

- That I would be completely immune to the smell and existence of poop, pee and spit up.
- That a smile would warm my heart and a cry would break it so intensely.
- That finding and coordinating child care would be a full time job.
- That no amount of preparation can really prepare you for a baby, but that no book, class or advice is better than a mother’s intuition.
- That there’s no such thing as too many diapers, too much help or too much love.
