You know your a mom when you are mopping the floor with one hand and holding a sleeping baby in the other arm because you can't put her down or she will scream.
... breakfast at the table each morning with the paper turned into sitting on the floor with a bowl of cereal in the family room entertaining LO on his activity mat.
..when someone else is holding your baby and he starts moaning and you start shhhhhhing. Or when you can stand still even when not holding the baby you bounce up and down with your legs.
When I stopped at Walmart on the way home from my first official "date night" with DH to pick up a couple things we needed around the house...and ended up buying stuff for DD while we were there. We really felt like parents. 11 pm Saturday night, all dressed up - and buying toys & clothes for the baby.
You wear crocs in the house since you walk the floor and bounce DS to keep him quiet and leave for his pediatricians appointment wearing them since you're running late... with spit up spots on your black shirt where (although you weren't caught in the crossfire) DS sucked on you...
My moment was when I sneaked out of the house alone for groceries, only to arrive at the register to discover a used Medela bottle in my Coach purse. "My life has forever changed".
Re: You know your a mom when...... (finish this sentence)
..when you find yourself talking passionately about poop to casual acquaintances.
Or maybe when you realize you've gone 4 days without a shower, but baby is bathed, clothed AND accessorized.
Make a pregnancy ticker
This!
This. And once you've googled "newborn poop".

Love these!!
...when the second you finally get LO to nap, it's a mad dash to get as many things done around the house as possible before he wakes up again.
Love these!
1. I text my husband, "we have poop!"
2. My entire google search history is baby related.
3. I have worn the same yoga pants and t-shirt covered in spit up for 3 days because you can't even find the time to change, let alone shower.
4. Your house is beginning to look like a Babies R Us even though you swore it never would.
5. You buy batteries at Costco like their going out of business.
6. By the time you get to your cup coffee every morning it's already cold.
Ahaha all of the above plus:
you find poop on your arm and it's been over an hour since the last diaper change
you spit on your thumb to wipe milk crusties off your baby's face
