I came across this article from babycenter.com about the top ten surprises of new parenthood.  I thought it was too good not to share.  Here is a snippet if you don’t feel like clicking on the link.  I LOVE the intro as so far we have found it SO true!

No matter how much you prepare for it, parenting will blow your mind.

Your kids will challenge you, bring you to tears, crack you up, and make you forget what you urgently had to do. They’ll shatter the life you knew into a million pieces. Then they’ll put it back together, like a stained-glass window, into something infinitely more complicated and beautiful.

While every parent’s biggest surprises are different, there are common themes to the ways that kids revolutionize our lives. Read on for the top ten surprises of new parenthood according to interviews with BabyCenter moms and dads.
