You know you're a mom when. . .

The highlight of your day is news of your LO having a bowel movement. He hadn't pooped in nearly 3 days due to starting solids and I was starting to get concerned. I know it's normal but I am a paranoid mama.

I've been there lol!  I knew I was a mom when I got to work and 2 hours later, found crusted spit up in my hair.

you know you're a mom when you have spit up running down your shoulder and don't even notice or care.

This!

 

I use to think to myself how can mom's just get spit up on and then wipe it and go about their business.  But after becoming a mom I totally get it!  If I changed myself and LO every time we got spit up on us I'd be doing laundry all day!

You know you're a mom when you walk around the house with your boob hanging out and don't even notice until your DH points it out.

I was thinking this!! So true!

You know you're a mom when you fall asleep at 9pm at a bachelorette party:)

You know you're a mom when, despite whether you are SAHM or working mom, you do not want to sacrifice time with LO for anything. Whether you have a guilt complex or you have separation anxiety... even though everyone else tells you to take time for yourself if it involves being away from LO for a span of time it's not worth doing. ROFL

THIS! DH & DS went to the eye doctor with me today. They sat in the waiting room during my exam. I felt guilty because it took FOREVER(like 10 mins) for the dr to come in the room. I almost opened the door & told DH to come in with the baby! LOL, what is wrong with me!?!?

You know your a mom when you can catch spit up in your hand instead of it landing on someone (who doesn't have kids) floor...and it doesn't phase you anymore.

-you would rather sleep than do any other (fun) activity

-choosing what to wear is a combo of "what can I nurse in public in easily" and "what has the least puke stains on it".

The one thing my husband is grossed out by is the spit up.  I regularly stick my hand out to catch LO's spit up so it doesn't end up on floor, furniture, clothes etc.  He still can't believe i do that.

You know you are a mom when it takes longer to get ready for an outing than the outing actually lasts.

This! I would much rather catch it than have it land on my carpet too.
