It's funny how being a parent changes your life. I know Johnson and Johnson have a campaign out with their advertising that says "Having a baby changes everything" and it's really true.
For instance, I love how the girl that used to be super obsessed with all her clothes and how they looked can suddenly let one of shirts double as a burp cloth at a moments notice.
Yep, that's me (then and now) ...and I think changes like that are super cool.
When I go to the mall during the week, and all the other moms are there with their strollers and Diaper bags, we smile as we pass one another in the aisles, secretly sharing in each other's maternal joy...if only for a second.
I really love the fact that I cannot go ANYWHERE without having someone admire my beautiful baby......let me tell you, I feel pretty good about that considering I'm the one who grew him for 9 months.
Something else that I'm pleasantly surprised at is that my friends who are unmarried and still in college have embraced the fact that I am married and have a baby......and still make time for me. :-) They also think of things that I can do with them that don't involve clubs, boos, or cigarette smoke. (Abby and Am you rock my world!)
So yeah, I'm just really happy with this whole mom thing, it feels great, even if this was my sloppy way of saying so.
