Being a Mom Is
- · Looking down in the shower and finding the rubber froggie squirter looking up at you.
- · Having a bathtub edged with rinsed Dora underwear and training pants (rubber pants) in various stages of drying.
- · Having NO modesty left AT ALL…especially with doctors and nurses.
- · Having the softest and strongest heart in the world.
- · Watching your baby sleep…no matter how old they are.
- · Having seemingly infinite patience.
- · Learning your body’s boundaries…then pushing past them.
- · Realizing just how little sleep you can function on.
- · Picking your battles wisely.
- · Being a queen (or at least princess) of improvisation.
- · Changing a squirmy baby in 30 seconds.
- · Being able to truly relax when the kids are asleep.
- · The ability to decipher a baby’s cries and movements.
- · Holding them close for a little while, then letting them go.
i couldnt agree more
ReplyDeleteSo true. The one that was the biggest shock to me was learning how little sleep I could function on. Before kids I was a 9-10 hour a night sleeper, and now I have yet to sleep that much or rarely 8 hours. I never thought I could function on less than 8 hour regularly but I do every day just fine. How the body adapts.
