One of my best friends, a fellow preggo (yayayayyay jenn!!) sent me this neat little letter that talks about what changes when you have a baby. I loved it and want to remember it always:
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.
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 believe in as a child.
8. Your heart breaks much more easily.
9. You think of someone else 234,836,123,456 times a day.
10. Every day is a surprise.
11. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive.
12. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
13. You become a morning person.
14. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.
15. You finally realize that joy doesn't come from material wealth.
16. You now know where the sun comes from
17. You'd rather buy a plastic tricycle than those shoes that you've been dying to have
18. You don't mind going to bed at 9pm on a Friday night.
19. Silence? What is that?
20. You realize those 15 pounds you can't seem to get rid of are totally worth having.
21. You discover an inner strength you never thought you had.
22. You no longer rely on a clock, your baby now sets your schedule.
23. You give parents with a screaming child an "I know the feeling" look instead of a "can't they shut him up" one.
24. You take time for just one more hug and kiss even if it means you will be late.
25. You learn that taking a shower is a luxury.
26. You realize that you can love a complete stranger.
27. You find yourself wanting to make the world a better place.
28. No matter what you've accomplished in life, you look at your child and think, I've done a GREAT job.
29. You want to take better care of yourself for your child.
30. Nothing is just yours any longer. You share everything!
