What a great perspective and reminder!

I nearly missed my train this morning because I had to get one last snuggle and kiss from D! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-things-that-change-when-youre-a-mom#post-1080879 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:19:43 +0000 californiadreams 1080879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wanted to share this from my one of my daily tip baby apps:</p> <p>Everyone warns you that having a baby will change your life. Sure, you'll have less money (and sleep), and a lot more responsibility. But when the centre of your universe shifts to your baby, there's much to celebrate too. </p> <p>You discover an inner strength you never realized you had.</p> <p>You accept that the last 15 pregnancy pounds you can't seem to shift are absolutely worth it.</p> <p>You don't need a clock any more - your baby now sets your daily schedule.</p> <p>You respect and love your own parents in a new way.</p> <p>Any pain your baby suffers feels much worse than your own.</p> <p>You don't mind going to bed at 9pm on a Friday night.</p> <p>Your heart breaks much more easily.</p> <p>You discover how much there is to say about one little baby tooth.</p> <p>You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.</p> <p>You're no longer disgusted by babies' bodily functions - in fact, you're fascinated by them (hooray, a poo!).</p> <p>The sacrifices you thought you'd made to have a baby no longer seem that big a deal.</p> <p>You respect your body ... finally.</p> <p>You realize that a baby's blankie has magical powers!</p> <p>You give parents with a screaming baby an "I-know-the-feeling" look, instead of a "Can't-they-shut-him-up?" one.</p> <p>You make time for one more baby hug and kiss, even if it means you'll be late.</p> <p>You realize that it's possible to love a complete stranger.</p> <p>You learn that taking a shower is a luxury, never mind a trip to the hair salon.</p> <p>You finally get to speak to the shy neighbour in your street, because you've got a baby in your arms.</p> <p>You find that things that once seemed important are now meaningless.</p> <p>Every day is a surprise. </p>
