So when you join the club of motherhood, some things just seem to happen. You swear up and down that you'll never be "that mom" wearing that outfit or driving that car but somehow it's inevitable. The world looks different to you as a mom! These are just some of the things that I think most moms can identify with...
1. You take a picture every time your little one breathes. Everything they do is the cutest thing ever! You think to yourself, "This is definitely the cutest baby ever born!" and you're probably right.
2. You begin to judge cars by their functionality and usefulness rather than the image they portray. That Jeep Wrangler with the soft top that seemed like so much fun now just seems dangerous and you now see why so many people opt for the mini van with the sliding door!
3. You consider it a very good day when she can take a shower AND dry your hair. Quite an accomplishment.
4. You and your husband have more conversations about baby poop (or lack thereof) than about the events going on in the world.
5. Your facebook status updates have more to do with how many hours your precious little one slept the night before or what adorable things little precious is doing.
In all seriousness, I'm loving being Elliott's mom and can't believe my time with him full-time at home is almost over!
It is amazing how quickly things change. And the baby poop conversation is all too common--Grant's cousin swears that within 20 minutes, a conversation between moms inevitably turns to poop. Glad you're enjoying your time with Elliott, he's a little sweetie! Hopefully he'll warm up to that bottle soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, Laurel! And you're so right. You will never look at the world like you used to. Wait until Elliott's crawling!
