Things i’ve learned since becoming a mom.

1. Sleep when you can. dont expect it too much.

2. Showers are a LUXURY.

3. You can either speed-eat, eat cold food, or eat with one hand

4. You are doomed  to a pony tail.

5. good luck getting your Pre-baby body back.

6. scent is no longer your favorite body spray, you will always smell like formula, spit up and baby food.

7. Laundry? quadrupled.

8. Formula is not cheap.

9.Every person you know will say “He is so big!” every time they see your child.

10. The t.v. is permanently tuned to Nick Jr.

11. There is no “nap schedule” . Only “Nap time” A.K.A. whenever he falls asleep

12. Baby’s “current wardrobe” changes every month. Clothes only fit for a short time.

13.Your baby has mood swings as often as you do.

14. Night time tantrums, random 5am feedings, frustrated cries are all included in the mix but are nothing compared to the gigantic smiles, high pitched squeals of excitement and pure JOY that a child brings. I would sacrafice my very life for this baby, and i will certainly skip out on manicures for his laughter and health.
