Things That Change When You Have A Baby

1. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.

2. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid. [See a reader's perspective in #22, below.]

3. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.
4. You respect your body ... finally.
5. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.

6. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.
7. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.

8. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.

9. Your heart breaks much more easily.
10. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.

11. Every day is a surprise.

12. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)

13. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
14. You become a morning person.
15. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.

16. Your dog — who used to be your 'baby' — becomes just a dog

Just thought this was a great list of a few things that have changed so drastically in my life in the past 3 months. The thoughts about your heart breaking and pain of your child being so much worse are so true. Its amazing how tender the heart of a mother is.

Going to go give my husband and baby one more kiss before bed, and remember to thank God for them one more time.
