Things I Have Noticed Since Giving Birth

napI am sure there are more motherhood revelations to come, but that’s what I got so far… and Damian is only been 5 1/2 weeks old!

  • My problem with poo? Totally gone.
  • “I’ve worn this skirt once already” has become “Hey this is still clean!”
  • Being afraid of dropping the baby has turned into balancing him on my shoulder while burping him while bouncing him while I complete various tasks.
  • There is no such thing as too busy to grab a nap.
  • The pursuit if spiritual enlightenment now only requires looking at my baby (awwww.)
  • I use to be the slowest eater in the world, now I eat even faster then Michael, probably even faster then my brother.
  • I could never eat soggy cereal before without gagging, now even after it has turned to mush it tastes fine… It is quick, pretty healthy and still edible, therefor I eat it.
  • In fact I can eat while I change a diaper.
  • Quiet mediation time has turned into funny faces at baby time.
  • As has meal time and bath time and…
  • Breastfeeding Baby + Cloth Prefold Diaper = Table. Just toss that prefold over his body and you can totally rest your journal and pen there… or your bowl of cereal.
  • Exercise has now become wearing the baby in a sling while cleaning (which is surprisingly calorie intensive.)
  • Breastmilk stains no longer bother me (nor does spit up.)
  • Spit is seriously the best cleaner ever, someone should market it.
  • Seriously I think it could cure cancer or something.
