the best life lesson of all...

With being a mother so many things change in your life .. its actually crazy if you sit back (if you can find time to) & think about ALL the things that are completely different now & things I .. I know I have and it's a pretty lengthy list!!

1.  My schedule is no longer my own
2.  I dont get that .. "take your bra off after a long day" feeling anymore (on having to wear a bra 24/7 due to BF'ing)
3.  I swear I have mastered the ability to sleep with one eye open
4.  Eating a meal is no longer a joyful , peaceful event.. its normally to the soundtrack of a crying baby ( I swear she knows when I am eating and starts to cry almost every time)
5.  Bodily fluids no longer repulse me,they actually bring me joy sometimes
6.  When going some where it takes alot longer to get ready now
7.  Now I am mindful of what I do and whether or not its healthy for me (I have said no to tanning...I will be pale from now on)
8.  I am now one of those moms in the restaurant with my baby on my lap bouncing her and eating my food with my other hand
9.  I am now one those annoying moms that post 1.5 million pics of their baby & I dont care who likes it or not.
10.  I now cry everytime I see someone on tv giving birth
11.  I understand why people get pregnant again.. yes I said it. You were right.. I forget how sucky pregnancy was all I can think about is how great it is to be a mommy and even though delivery is pretty scary.. I would consider doing it again..dont tell my husband.. he will have a heart attack
12.  I have learned to live off of only a few hours of sleep
13.  I will do anything no matter how dumb I look to make her laugh
14.  I realize why my parents were so protective
15.  I have learned no matter what your parenting style is .. .someone is gonna have something to say about it
16.  I would have never thought 10 years ago.. I would be breastfeeding (this one surprises me everyday)
17.  The strength I found within in myself.. its nothing short of amazing..
18.  I learned mothers DO have super powers
19.  One little smile makes my whole day
20.  I no longer come first in my life
21.  I was as ready as I ever could have been to be a mother
22.  Instinct takes over..and you really dont have to take classes or anything.. everything just fits into place somehow.. I spent 9 months stressing.. thinking I wasnt ready.. being scared of what it would be like.. Now.. I dont know how I lived life before without Emma in it <3
