I’ve only been in the “mommy club” for 6 months now, but I have learned quite a few things in my short time. So I figured, why not share these insightful and sometimes humorous lessons with the world? Here is what I’ve learned thus far, and I’m sure some, if not most of you can relate…
Mommy Lesson #1- I have learned, not to get too attached to cute shirts, because sooner or later, they’ll be covered in drool, baby vomit or the occasional breast milk leak.
Mommy Lesson #2- I have learned to patiently wait to clip my baby’s fingernails until she is sound asleep.
Mommy Lesson #3- I have learned that eventually you will stop sanitizing everything to death and just deal with a few germs.
Mommy Lesson #4- I have learned that I can’t live without Lanolin Cream for my overly abused nipples.
Mommy Lesson #5- I have learned that I’ll never be caught up with the laundry and I’m okay with it!
Mommy Lesson #6- I have learned that “blowout” poops are perfectly normal, an happen more often than I would like.
Mommy Lesson #7- I have learned that driving anywhere with a baby is scary!
Mommy Lesson #8- I have learned that it’s not the end of the world if my nails aren’t done and my hair is no longer styled to perfection.
Mommy Lesson #9- I have learned that I truly enjoy sleeping more than ever.
Mommy Lesson #10- I have learned that if you don’t grab something to eat while the baby is napping, you can forget about eating period.
Mommy Lesson #11- I have learned that trying to get out the door with a baby can take a really long time.
Mommy Lesson #12- I have learned that Dreft is great for Mommy and Daddy’s clothes too.
Mommy Lesson #13- I have learned that I absolutely cannot get through my day without caffeine.
Mommy Lesson #14- I have learned to politely ignore women who feel the need to tell me how to parent my child.
Mommy Lesson #15- I have learned that my digital camera is my new best friend…because you never know when a cute moment will present itself!
Mommy Lesson #16- I have also learned that people don’t like getting your weekly hard-drive clogging emails with the 50 latest photos of you child. Just because you think it’s cute, doesn’t mean everyone else wants to see it.
Mommy Lesson #17- I have learned to really cherish those moments when I can take a hot bath and get lost in a good book.
Mommy Lesson #18- I have learned that I no longer care about returning the grocery cart back to the cart holder. I just ditch it where I’m parked,…….because most likely the baby is crying or hungry…or both!
Mommy Lesson #19- I have learned to appreciate why other mother’s never liked receiving gifts for their children that made noise.
Mommy Lesson #20- I have learned to deal with the fact that I now have stretch marks.
Mommy Lesson #21- I have learned that sex will never be the same, it’s better!
Mommy Lesson #22- I have also learned that being too tired to have sex is more common than I thought!
Mommy Lesson #23- I learned that little girls can never have enough Pink.
Mommy Lesson #24- I have learned that being a SAHM is most-definitely a Full-time Job!
Mommy Lesson #25- And lastly, I have learned what being completely selfless and loving unconditionally is really all about…

Those are all so very true!
When they get older, you will find that a closed door means nothing to a child. If you don’t have them, locks are a must if you and your husband want some private time!
This is a great lessons list! I never liked pink before my daughter was born, but on her it’s just wonderful.
your not kidding about the abused nipples. That part sucks…and relates to that not having sex thing.
I can relate to EVERY single one of those!!
