things we forgot about newborns

-how they are so skinny to begin with, just skin and bones, with a skinny little bum, and chicken legs and arms
-how quickly they start to fatten up
-how tiny they are, and how quickly they stretch out and seem not so tiny
-how wrinkly their hands and feet are to begin with, and how that goes away and becomes smooth skin
-how stinky the umbilical cord is until it comes off
-how many faces they make in their sleep, and how sweet those faces are
-how many times a day they fill their diapers
-how nice it is to have a sleeping bagy snuggled up against your neck and shoulders
