Before I was a mom...

Before I was a mom I never would have gone out in public in a camisole with built in bra as my bra. I'd only ever be seen in the best minimizer with underwire, those are the things you do when you have a larger chest. But I haven't worn an underwire in nearly 2 months. I mostly wear only nursing camisoles and oddly I don't feel as awkward or uncomfortable as I would have before. Is it because I just don't care anymore? Or maybe it just really isn't as bad as I would have originally thought?

Before I was a mom I thought it was disgusting when a babies binky would fall out of their mouth and a parent would pick it up stick it in their mouth to clean it and stick it back in their child's mouth. I'd think why can't you just wait until you can wash it?! But now I know sometimes that bink is the only thing between the quiet you were hearing and the war sirens you'll hear if you don't get it back in the babies mouth as soon as possible. I have on several occasions picked up a bink in the middle of a store shoved in my mouth and then given it back to my son. And it's for the benefit of all around me, trust me.

Before I was mom waking me up was an act punishable by death. Now I only sleep 4 maybe 5 hours at a time, if I'm lucky. And I haven't murdered anyone so far..

Before I was a mom blogging, writing and reading were what I did when I had down time. Now my down time consists of holding a sleeping baby. Or napping with him. And on that same subject now that I'm a mom I have a hard time remembering things like the last book I read in the series I'm trying to read. Or what I wanted to blog about. It makes it more difficult to do the things I love.

Before I was a mom I had no idea how much I could love someone Id just met. My life may be 100% different but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
