1.
When you first bring your baby home, you think they're perfect...
2.
...which is good because they definitely transform your home.
3.
In those early days a lot of things — like venturing into public — are pretty nerve wracking.
4.
And some things are REALLY nerve wracking.
5.
You gotta cut those nails, though, 'cause...
6.
Your baby, meanwhile, won't make things easier.
7.
And, btw, they ain't cheap.
8.
Changing diapers takes getting a little used to.
9.
You might struggle a little at first.
10.
There will be definitely be surprises.
11.
And mistakes will be made.
12.
Far scarier than diapers, though, are the nights.
13.
Getting your baby down for the night is a STRESS.
14.
And your baby rarely stays down long.
15.
On especially hellish nights you might do ill-advised things to get through it.
17.
And your sex life takes a hit.
18.
Of course, you meet those just wonderful, PERFECT parents (who are full of it).
19.
And your equally PERFECT in-laws, lol.
20.
Eventually the sleepless nights change you.
22.
And you NEED a night out.
23.
In time, though, the whole sleep thing gets easier.
24.
Which you are grateful for (even if it leads to other problems.)
25.
In the end, there is nothing truer than this.
