Because it makes total sense! And while I have absolutely nooo parenting background, I can tell you that I agree with everything you said: that it's something you learn (most likely as you go!) and grow accustomed to. You sound like you're going to be a fantastic mom. -A I love the comparison, I really do. Because it makes total sense!

However, I will say the learning curve is staggering and withing weeks, often even days (or hours for true over-achievers...not me), you find yourself totally just doing it. Like it is nothing to be feeding a baby while sipping some water and reading a book propped up on the sofa arm. Without getting too groovy here, just remember to breathe. It will all get done and the eternity it seems to be taking you to change a diaper, find the wipes and so on, is really more like 45 seconds and no one around you even thinks you are struggling!
