5 Weird Facts About Motherhood

1. The floor that never used to creak in the guest bedroom suddenly develops a creak as soon as the bedroom is converted into a nursery.

2. The creak just happens to be right in front of the crib.

3. Nursing (including the sore nipples; 1 am, 3 am, and 5 am feedings; and having to do it in public on occasion) is actually quite comforting for baby AND mom.

4. It's amazing how quickly modesty gets shoved under the rug when baby comes along - I mean, if having to push baby out while 3 or 4 people stand at THAT end and watch isn't enough to get a person over the modesty hump, then having to whip out a boob in public to satisfy baby's hunger pains will (although I do try a little decorum, such as heading to the ladies' room or to my car).

5. Sleeping in any position suddenly becomes comfortable. (It's a good thing the spine was meant to hold us upright while we sit; otherwise, I would spend half my time in a squishy pile with Wesley floating on top!)
