When you pay more for a baby bag than you ever have for a purse. My Stevie bag is amazing and worth every cent! (Even better- I got it off EBay and paid half price... Woo!)
Your toddler, who is sitting on your lap with LO after you nurse in the peds office, replaces your breastpads for you and it doesn't register as weird until the nurse laughs.
That's a well-trained toddler!
Mine is: when you text with your husband about your baby's poop.
This morning I woke up my husband to tell him about my baby's giant peanut butter poop
A "night out" means a take out meal at a pay at the counter restaurant (Chipolte anyone?) and a movie at home that takes 3xs the time to watch because you keep having to pause to attend to LO. This just happened.
When you've been searching for hours to find the source of the spit up smell on you (your hair? tank top? bra? yoga pants?), finally find it and say "I'm too damn tired to shower or change!"
A "night out" means a take out meal at a pay at the counter restaurant (Chipolte anyone?) and a movie at home that takes 3xs the time to watch because you keep having to pause to attend to LO. This just happened.
We did the same thing tonight!! Gotta love those burrito bowls!
When you hum songs from LO's activity gym...or hear them even when it's turned off
This is so me! DH and I were on a date night and he started humming the swing song, then the activity mat song. So romantic!
For me, I know I'm a mom because my feelings of success/accomplishments depend on the number of oz I pump each day. Like when I wake up DH to tell him my MOTN pump was 7oz.
When you have seen every Disney Princess movie, and actually get mad when people incorrectly refer to one (My sister said Brave was about Repunzel, and I seriously got upset. We ended up having a whole conversation about Brave and Tangled).
When your idea of a good night is staying home with the kids, versus going out with friends.
When having poop and or puke on you isn't a big deal
When you get excited about poop
When you live your life in the 2 hr incriments between feedings
It is AMAZING what I can get done during either the 2 hours between feedings while I am wearing baby or even better when she takes her mid day nap. It is like 3..2..1.. Go!
September Siggy Challenge : Favorite Childhood Movies ( Sorry I have two)
When going pee becomes a family thing, including animals.
When having a shower becomes a race to see how fast you can wash before a child starts to cry. when they do start you realize you haven't shaved your legs AGAIN.. You shrug it off like usual since it's getting cold out and you could use an extra layer of warmth.
@KatieR2310 I am right there with you about the family bathroom trips! My LO is my first so she cant follow me, but my dog insists on coming with me, every single time. I better not close that door either, or she will sniff underneath it (loudly) the entire time I am in there.
Re: You know you're a mom when..
When you get insanely excited about a box of brightly colored diapers showing up from ups.
When you color coordinate said diapers to LOs outfits.
Also, when you put on your jacket see dried slobber and think, "Eh, he'll just slobber on it again today so no big deal" and proceed to wear it.
When you buy boots so that you can respectively wear leggings every day and not look like a complete bum!
People are talking about purses... Mine was traded in for a diaper bag.

When said uniform gets spit up on just as you are leaving for work and you have to decide if a change is warrented.
You become poop obsessed. When, how much, what color.
A trip to any store with a baby clothes section warrents a look and usually buying unneeded stuff.
When all you think about all day at work is LO.
When you go on a sniffing hunt of yourself and the baby to figure out which one of you has soured spit up somewhere on you.
Five hours of consecutive sleep feels amazing.

"Stop it, your feet do not taste like chocolate" as said to my then 3 year old in the car.
How about "do not lick Cheerios off the floor. You are not a dog." As said to MY 3 year old this morning!
P.S I'm loving all the toddler mommy's responses. Kind of shows me what I have to look forward too
Today's Mummy moment.
Yes!! I fall asleep with those songs in my head and find myself rocking out to them at work...sad

BFP 3/29/2014 2u2 Let's do this!
When going on an over night trip with LO is practically like moving.
When having a shower becomes a race to see how fast you can wash before a child starts to cry. when they do start you realize you haven't shaved your legs AGAIN.. You shrug it off like usual since it's getting cold out and you could use an extra layer of warmth.
