Yes, Alpha. I hear you. I was having similar thoughts this week. You haven't fully experienced the visceral nature of being human until your baby has leaked/projectiled every possible fluid from their eyes (tears), nose (snot, blood), mouth (breastmilk spit-up, vomit, more blood, etc.) and bottom parts (yes, pee and poop) somehow, onto your body (the mom, in my case). I can empathize with all other mammal mothers with clingy babies who need milk all day long, a perfectly natural situation. I could not believe it the early days but now they're a distant memory. This came up in conversation with a pregnant family member who's due very soon!
