In the words of Ferris Bueller - “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” And the same goes for your baby. 

As they say, "the days move slowly, but the years pass quickly”.

No matter what the annoying people tell you, you simply cannot enjoy every moment. But sometimes if you make an effort to enjoy a few extra ones, you’ll appreciate it after your child/kids get bigger, which they do in the blink of an eye.

Here's a great article about what some real-life moms wish someone had told them before their first baby arrived.

However, I am I firm believer that no matter what anyone says to you about anything - until you experience it for yourself, you have no idea what it's like. Someone's words of wisdom are not the equivalent of going through it yourself. No well-intended lecture can serve as a replacement for life experience.
