You know your a mom when...

almakie

okay ladies we haven't done this thread in awhile.

What's changed in the past few weeks since the last thread.


I'll start, I was still pregnant when the last thread us up so I just enjoyed laughing at some of the post. I know I'm a mum cause I have a baby(obviously) a dummy** a burping cloth and LO snuggle toy in bed with me. Plus an empty bottle and spare nappies** on the bedside table.

Edited** I'm Australian and forgot you called dummy's pacifiers and nappies diapers

I have to take a shower in the morning and night! It's just ugh!

aligons

When you hate when company comes over because that means you have to put on "real clothes."

When the LO spits up all over you and you don't even care about changing your clothes. what's the point?

ETA: it's late and I can't spell

klkonwi

Omg yes.... The smell. I literally forget deodarant too sometimes because I'm in such a hurry to go get the crying baby after a shower lol

ksimo6

You get puked on and shit on all at once.... And just laugh about it.

Marcantonio

You chug water all day long to keep up your supply only to be trapped under a baby that just fell asleep. Moving is Not. An. Option.

( to pee)

thedo

Bodily fluids are the initial focus of all conversations... Case and point, this thread.

alcrimmins

It doesn't phase you to pick boogies out of their nose, being pooped, pee'd, or puked on, and you have used your finger & spit to clean their face.

Edit: grammatical errors

rolson8947

When you go out to eat with a girlfriend and all you do is talk about the babies and look at one another's diaper bags and see what all the other one carries in their bag

katyertl

When you don't even want to waste nice clothes for you OR your LO because it's just gonna get spit up on anyways. I have so many cute outfits for our girl but why even bother when we don't even leave the house half the time

Also the nice clothes seem to be the hardest to put on and take off. Simple onesies are so much easier!

The only new PR (personal record) you care about is for pumping volume, not race times.

almakie

When you make plans around feeding times.

bethanne09

When you have to ask to pee in your own home

"Babe, hold him do I can pee? Please?"
Normally followed by, "I swear to God if you wake him up."

dianabeee

When you tell everyone to shut the eff up

henrytviii

When you are too exhausted to muster the effort to remind people where to post stuff on this board to keep some semblance of organization

klkonwi

When you have no social qualms about telling people/family when they can and cannot come over...... Because naps trump all.

Jna0407

When you find yourself singing nursery rhymes or children songs while in the shower to keep your screaming baby calm so you can wash off all the lovely smells! Oh yea, and you sing them during bath time, in the car, and diaper changes. Did I mention you also make up your own words to these songs also!

jayladae7

When you stop pleasing your needy husband to nurse your baby before going back to your husband. Some days I feel like a multi purpose doll.

devyns2nd

When you have to smell your clothes before leaving the house.

Changed LO at target and only after shopping 30 mins did I notice I had poo on the bottom of my shirt. I have no clue how it got there?!?! DH was super grossed out because (not gonna lie) I was going to leave it until I got home. He shewed me to the restroom.

...So I guess I'll add when you have poo on you and you think "meh, I'll finish shopping first".

jesscmv

When you aren't holding your baby and you're still swaying side to side. I always feel like a crazy person when I catch myself doing it!

JessHeppell

when you have to choose between eating, showering or getting house work done.

Sammy K

Even during a rare night away, life revolves around the almighty feeding/pumping schedule.

chrissssn

When you get to go to Target and/or the grocery store alone and it feels like a mini-vacation.

paige0704

When ur up at 3 taking care of a baby with a terrible fever but yet DH says he's tired ...righttttt

aj1327

@devyns2nd I laughed out loud. A little poop wouldn't have bothered me either.

When making it out the door with hair done, make up on, and not a drop of spit up or pee on you makes you feel like super woman!

beckyk9109

... when the only way you can get housework done includes baby wearing. (Thankfully her twin sister was happy in her bouncer seat!) I was able to fold 3 loads of laundry and chop up a salad for dinner with her!

... And when getting pretty new bottles is the highlight of your week. Seriously, obsessed!

medicmomma6115

When your discussions about shots aren't referring to alcoholic shots but vaccinations.

virginiaunicorn11

Today I said to LO, "It used to be that 'blow out' meant mommy had a pretty new hairstyle for a few days. And now it's something TOTALLY different!"

rrcameron21

When sitting on the couch all day is exhausting

JessHeppell

when you ask yourself "is this pee or sweat"

kelseyharrell22

When you finally get a night out with your girl friend & your drunk conversations are only about breastfeeding

klkonwi

@beckyk9109 ahhh!! I had no idea the tippee bottles came in colors! You just made me have to have those lady! Amazon here I come!

You know your old AND a mom when
you get a chance to get very drunk and you do...... And you regret it immediately.

beckyk9109

@klkonwi I found them by mistake! My mom legit has like $600 worth of points on her credit card and wanted to get me more bottles and we stumbled across them on Amazon! I screamed like a little girl... Not gonna lie

teather5

When you leave the house "all dolled up" in a dress and realize your legs are so dry (who remembers lotion when you can barely manage remembering deodorant) and you have to use the diaper rash cream...

JessHeppell

you havent shaved your legs in like a week, but still go out in shorts anyways.

when you get back home and the underside of your bra is wet, and you question if its underboob sweat or if your boob pads leaked somehow

theletlers

When you have to tell DH to touch boobies at his own risk during sexy time!
When you wake up at night and realize your boob is still hanging out

@JessHeppell ditto on the legs!
@bethanne09 I know the feeling!

We have the same carrier for our twins and I'm also thankful that one loves her swing!
