It seems like when you tell people you are going to have a baby everyone loves to give advice - let them cry it out, pick them up when they cry, you aren't going to get sleep anymore, sleep while the baby sleeps, etc. Your life will never be the same. It sometimes seems like society view of having children is somewhat of a death sentence and that things will never be "normal" again. I figure take what people say with a grain of salt and do what works for you. I think it just depends on how you look at life -- will you look down and see the mud ground or look up and see the stars! I am choosing to look up! So we have hit the new "normal" for our family now. We enjoyed a nice weekend together - we went to the mall, watched a movie, and just laughed together. (Its pretty easy to get a three month old to smile) So here is to new changes in life!
