845. Having a newborn at home makes life like a cruise.

Eight reasons

1. though it’s fun, you look forward to getting back to a solid footing
2. late nights
3. plentiful food (thanks to good friends, neighbors, and family—see example below)
4. fun, new adventures every day
5. living space is more cramped than you’re used to
6. you get off work
7. lots of pictures are taken with the intent to blog about them
8. someone is bound to throw-up at some time
