We welcomed our 5th baby to the family a few weeks ago and she is absolutely perfect! Everything about this little angel is petite and lovely and we are so happy she is here. I do have to say that I am amazed by the amount of things I forgot about recovering from giving birth and having a newborn–even after 5 kids. I have decided that it is a tender mercy that we forget about a lot of the discomfort in the first few weeks or else we would all stop at one child. LOL
One thing that really slipped my mind was late night feedings and diaper changes. My good friends threw my a super cute baby shower before our little princess arrived and one of the activities they had for guest to do was write messages to me on diapers for those dreaded late night changes. My girlfriends had sign similar to this one I found on to let everyone know what to do. I thought it was such a fun unique idea and I have loved reading all of the messages these past few weeks.
