Did you notice, since having a baby... - (finish the sentence)

MommyToAshley replied: .... that your refer to yourself in the third person (Mommy is going to do this or that) LOL

booey2 replied: The centre of your universe is not you any more.

dhoppygirl replied: ...that sleeping in is a thing of the past.

MommyToAshley replied: ... you're not the one in the house with the most clothes anymore! hehe

maliksmommy replied: that things don't gross you out as much.

booey2 replied: It doesn't really matter if your outfit coordinates properly as long as they (the baby) looks adorable.

MommyToAshley replied: ...although it takes an hour to get ready to go somewhere, you spend only 2 minutes of that getting yourself ready.

dhoppygirl replied: ...that babbling and singing in public no longer embarrasses you as long as the baby is happy?

kit_kats_mom replied: that no one pays much attention to you anymore?

kit_kats_mom replied: That you actually like some kids songs?

kit_kats_mom replied: That you feel like something is missing when you have time to yourself?

kit_kats_mom replied: That you are happier than ever before?

kit_kats_mom replied: That you don't ever want to have to say "no" to your little one?

kit_kats_mom replied: That you are already dreading their first real boo boo?

I can't bear to see Katherine in pain and I just know that my heart will shatter into a million pieces when she gets her first real self-inflicted boo-boo. I will feel better when she looks to me to kiss it and make it all better though.

kit_kats_mom replied: That you are in constant motion?

Example; DH was home with the baby and I ran out to grab some celery. While waiting to check out, I realized that I was rocking the celery & humming "Baby Mine". I felt like a fool

kit_kats_mom replied: that the things that used to really bug you about other peoples kids are just too cute, or at least less bothersome, when your kid does them?
ie; poopy diapers & crying in public.

That you have much more compassion for the other mothers that you see struggling with their babies in public?

& My final one,

That you can't watch the news without getting really sad about missing kids, child abuse etc?

This is so true--I'm watching the USS Abraham Lincoln arrive in san diego on the news right now and all the happy families are making me cry--150 babies born since the ship left without their daddies. Waaaah! And one baby whose mommy left her at 2 months old!! Now she's a year old--can you imagine missing that much of your kid's life?

MomToMany replied: (this might apply to older kids)

That mommy.... there's patriotic, then there's fanatic. Not to flame her, or to accuse her, but I wouldn,t leave my baby to go OVERSEAS for that long!! Oh my, my country could kiss my behind if they thought I was going to go off to war and leave my baby behind. I'm staying HOME. Heck..I have problems leaving my baby overnight...forget for almost a year!! If my DH was ever made to go to war, I'd.... anyways, I don't think about it, and that is why my DH is FORBIDDEN to enlist in the army. There is NO WAY our family is going to be separated for ANYONE else but ourselves. Divorce is a diferent situation than a stupid war which wouldn't have happened if all the self-made so-called *world leaders* weren't major idiots.

It makes me mad. Sorry.

supermom replied: that you appreciate your own mother even more than you did before you had your own to raise.

supermom replied: that you think that a boquet of dandelions is the most beautiful kind of flower in the world......

supermom replied: that you look with new wonder and facination at all living creatures, great and small

MommyToAshley replied:
Aweee! I can't wait to get one of those some day!

MomToMany replied:

This is SO true! My mom had 7 kids; I look back and wonder how she did it all! She sewed all our clothes, made homemade bread, and had her own boutique to run, also (which she made most of the stuff for), plus the countless animals we had to take care of (horses, dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, goats, sheep, plus all the wild ones that get injured...), not to mention the garden she had (about an acre in size), we helped out quite a bit with that. She's an AWESOME mom, and I tell her that every chance I get !

momofajcl replied: ok my usual complaint...

...that you have less brain cells than before so that you are constantly forgetting things.

Insanemomof3 replied: that it is hard to go from mommy mode to *wife* mode at the end of the day.

MommyToAshley replied: ...the days go by soo much quicker!!!!

msjennbug replied: that you really CAN pee with someone in the room with you.

(well, cause if not you'd never go, b/c you're never in there alone any more)

MommyToAshley replied: ...that your house suddenly got A LOT smaller.

MommyToAshley replied: ... that you suddenly take a lot of pictures now!!

MommyToAshley replied: ... you use a lot more batteries.

Ok ladies, get your minds out of the gutter, I am talking about for the baby's toys!!!!
