I have now been the mother of two for a week and I just have to share what I have learned from this experience. Please be advised that there will be talk of "bodily" functions, but nothing that will turn your stomach.
1. The first child will learn/regress to an action that makes life more difficult, like learning to open one's bedroom door and not wanting to go to bed peacefully.
2. It is possible to have one's milk come in and not have problems with engorgement.
3. It is possible for a baby to lose weight at the hospital and still weigh 12 oz more than his birth weight after one week. See #2.
4. Being woken up in the middle of the night is no longer a novelty.
5. A bedtime of 8:30 sounds so appealing.
6. All babies are potentially dangerous during diaper changes.
Of course, this list is not exhaustive, but it sure sums up this first week. Thank goodness for grandmas!

I hear you on #2. I wouldn't have believed it before it happened to me, too :).
