    Best: All of the maternal instincts have kicked in (I feel more confident and poised in all areas of life).


    Worst: All of the maternal instincts (I get super worried about things like being the WORLDS WORST back seat driver...I'm always saying "Watch Out" or feel the need to carry a suitcase EVERYWHERE so that I'm prepared not only for LO but for EVERYONE I go out with (dad, hubby, friend, etc.) I never ever feel prepared or safe enough.

    Best: being in awe of this person who developed from virtually nothing; the sound he made while nursing; snuggling all the time.

    Worst: getting so little sleep I forgot my husband's name; not getting time for a shower and to fulfill other basic needs; having a baby who cries so much more than I expected.

    Oh no, so sorry you're not getting enough sleep! It's so sweet to hear how much you are in awe of your LO :)
