20 things that change

So, I get these weekly email updates on my email about how the baby is developing for that week and I love them. On this weeks update it had this darling side note about 20 things that change when you have a baby and its funny how they all seem so true. I already feel like a mommy even though my baby is only the size of a raspberry. ;) Its funny how you think about every little thing you do to make sure its not going to hurt the baby. I have done pretty good so far, no caffeine, no deli meat etc. The deli meat has been the hardest for me since we all know all I EVER eat is sandwiches! However, I am going to have to cave one time at Delia's over Thanksgiving. It just wouldn't be right not to eat it since we scheduled our arrival time around when the bread is the best! :) I bought the first thing for the baby this weekend. I couldn't help myself. They are the most darling chenille stuffed giraffe and elephant. I couldn't love them more. I will take a photo of them tonight and post it just so you all can see them since they are the cutest ever! Hope everyone is doing good. We are doing good here. Here is the list:

1. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
2. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.
3. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.
4. You're less self-involved and more self-motivated.
5. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.
6. You respect your body ... Finally. (Hooray for baby-making!)
7. You have stronger opinions and are stronger willed.
8. You respect your parents and love them in a new way. (Hooray for grandparents!)
9. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.
10. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child. (Hooray for the tooth fairy!)11. You lose touch with the people in your life that you should have banished years ago.
12. Your heart breaks much more easily.
13. You think of your baby 234,836,178,976 times a day. In fact, you're so busy with this that you forget everything else.
14. Every day is a surprise.
15. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)
16. You think before you speak.
17. You become a morning person. (Hooray for watching the sun rise!)
18. If you have a son, you no longer curse men. (Hooray for all men!)
19. If you have a daughter, you hope she won't endure your same heartaches.
20. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power. ( this one is my favorite)
