Old me has a very week stomach.  New me gets vomited on and barely bats an eye.  How about you?

    Oh, and "old me" would never have thought I'd be one of "those mom" still nursing a 16 month old.  But it's working great for us!  Old me never planned to cosleep either.  Ah, never say never.

    Old me would have never thought I could function on so little sleep everyday.

    Old me never thought I would actually learn to cook. Now that I have children to cook for, that has changed!

    Old me would be horrified by my lack of ambition at work, my ability to function on no sleep, and my complete lack of alcohol tolerance.

    old me would be shocked at how easy it is for me to get up at 5am and function throughout the day.

    "Old me" would have stayed at my original job and I wouldn't be at this new one.  for better or worse.

    "Old me" hated gross things too but can handle my daughter's gross bodily functions.

    "Old me" would have never realized how much I could possibly love one person .  Especially one who requires so much work from me and allows me to get so little sleep.

    Old me would NEVER have switched her hours to come in EARLIER - so not a morning person - new me is super excited to be home earlier in the evening and would gladly trade 1/2 hour of sleep for Billy time!

    Old me:  Juggle career and family with ease.

    New me:  Seriously consider staying at home with this cute lil' human being

    Old me: "I would never give my kid a pacifer" 

    New me:  I didn't realize the benefits of a pacifier.

    Old me:  Let the kid cry it out.

    New me:  I pick up this kid even before a teardrop falls from his eyes.

    About how much fun it is to have both boys in bed with us every night. I can't imagine them not snuggling with us in the morning. It is our favorite time of day!

    Old me: stayed up until midnight most nights. Rarely got out of bed before noon on the weekends.

    New me: Lucky if I can stay awake past 10pm. Thrilled if I get to sleep in until 9am on a weekend.

    There's not a lot that "old me" would be surprised to see.  But a few people mentioned the sleeping - agreed, old me would never have believed I could get by on this little sleep.
