What They Don’t Tell You: Having a Newborn at Home

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Everything that you read and you thought you were prepared for is out the window. For some reason, everything goes blank, and you're just like, oh my god.

There is no baby manual.

You're over-protective, and you're nervous at the same time.

Everyone loves to give you pointers.

Until you do it, you don't really absorb it.

There's a lot of pooping.

When she lets out just a really great fart, you're just like, yeah, go for it, man! That means that she's not going to be colicky later.

It's like an assembly line at night.

It's like a guessing game every single time. Like, I think that's a tired cry and I think that's a hunger cry. You're allowed to want to sleep.

Every day is a new day.

I always heard stories of this overwhelming love. And yes, that does happen. It's different. It's almost like a slow building. And it's like every single day I love her more and more.

I was just so happy to finally have that little tushie in my hands. It's actually a big tushie.
