what a cutie. Congrats on the baby and the coming out of the fog phase. It is SO much harder than we think. It always helped me to remember that I was not alone - everyone goes through it and comes out the other side. The biggest thing to remember is how quickly it goes away. Mine are now 6 and 3. Although I don't miss the sleepless nights there are certainly parts of those early days I miss.

  dishing the dirt, cleaning the chaos

yes..the first two weeks are like this hazy blur...then the next three months are a sleepless fog and then, each month as you get more and more back to normal, it's like, wow, I was a mess. but the magic in the first two weeks can't be rivaled by anything else in the world, you know? congrats!

  Goofing around with my babies - Big and Lil

Hey,Congrats new mom ! Its more like everything looks happier on the other side of the stream. This is a stage that I miss, now that my toddler is 15 months old. Babies are so cute and innocent and they look sweeter in their earlier stages. No doubt the first few weeks is tough for a new mom but don't worry you will figure it out. I've had mine after 5 years and I thought the same way as you did:)

  They're cute when they're alseep!

For me, it was the first 7 weeks. Once that hump was over it felt so much better.

  Life is crazy but wonderful.

Congrats on your baby, he is absolutely adorable! The first couple of weeks are hard. Unfortunately I had surgery and missed the first two weeks of my son because I was recovering and my hubby took over the first two weeks essentially as a single dad. Enjoy every moment they pass so fast, my baby is starting kindergarten this fall, and my daughter is going into fifth grade, it goes by really fast.

  Still getting used to the new "MOMMY" title

I am still in my 7 weeks of becoming a single new mom, and lord knows how hard we work at it, but i am so proud of my little angle, I look at her and I savor every moment, every cry, every bath moment. She is cooing and smiling and that, only that makes it all worth it. congrats and blessings on your new little one.
