Hi, I found you through Sythyry's journal (who posted to a parenting community I'm on). I read through your journal and found myself nodding my head in agreement or remembering what that was like of when my daughter was born. I also made it all the way back to Talk Like a Pirate day and, with all the computer geeks I know, that was the FIRST time I'd heard that particular take on the day. ;)
Anyway, I hope you don't mind me reading your journal. On-topic for this post, you said what I feel with my daughter so much better than I ever could. My daughter is 15 months old now, but in many ways it feels like it really was yesterday when she was a tiny baby just brought home from the hospital. In other ways, I can't imagine that she was ever so small. ;)
I remember before I had a child being told "you can't understand unless you're a parent" and being annoyed. But, like you said (only better), there are many things about parenthood you really CAN'T understand until you've been there.

So, welcome to motherhood. :)
