You know you’re a mom when...

BumpCaitlin · February 2015

Everyone has that moment when it finally hits you: “Wow! I’m someone’s mom!”

We asked Bumpies to share when they had this realization, and we guarantee that you can relate.

When did you “know” you were a mom?

P.S. Let's take our friendship to the next level. Like us on Facebook

When you can no longer watch movies that mention another mom losing a child, or a child losing their mom.

When hearing your oldest comforting our youngest makes you proud.

Indeed! I wonder what other moms have to share

When you tell people that you got a lot of sleep. And you only got 2 hours. LOL

Totally faking being well-rested - one of many mommy superpowers!!

When you see neighborhood children misbehaving and you correct them.

I knew I made it as a mom when I didn't worry about body functions being on me any more!

Haha! That's a sure sign you're officially a mom!

I knew I was a mom when I felt SUPERDUPER proud of my baby's first everything (first hand clap, first wave bye-bye, first steps, first time eating gerber foods, first night sleeping in her crib, etc....I almost cried lol) \:D/

Yay! Your LO has already given you so much to be proud of! Here's to many more amazing "firsts!"

VexyMommy · May 2015

When you go out to a restaurant with your childless friends and they start complaining about loud children or a crying baby nearby and you didn't even notice.

MadewithLove528 · May 2015

I loved reading all these! Im newly pregnant so I'm sure I'll know these first hand soon. So far for me I have had soon to be mommy moments of guarding my belly, waking up in the morning and realizing I have something growing in me and feeling greatful!

LalanChris · May 2015

I knew I was a mom when I loved someone so much I cried at the sight of them.

nemodancer · May 2015

I knew I was a mom when I loved someone more than life itself and I'm loving like no other!

Beautifully said!! Congratulations on all that love

rmckenna · June 2015

I knew I was a mom when I looked at my kids & instantly fell in love. I would do anything for them & I can't imagine life without them. Sometimes we can't believe we didn't have them sooner.

uknowmesarahe · June 2015

When you find rocks at the bottom of your purse that your son decided to start collecting

itsjessicadarlene · June 2015

I knew I was a mom when I started putting diapers in my purse.

When poop and vomit no longer gross you out

Always good to have an emergency stash!!

tonilee80 · June 2015

When life is no longer about you anymore...it's all about your LO(s)

WiFeY 4 LiFeY · July 2015

When spit up in your hair, blow outs on your shirt and snot on your pant leg becomes your new norm!

zgolding · July 2015

When you can get up in the middle of night, nurse baby, change baby, and do a load of laundry, then fall right back to sleep because that is the norm.

volleygirl029 · July 2015

When your LO wakes you up at 5 am on a Saturday and when they're taking their morning nap, you sit on the couch and drink your coffee in silence rather then taking a nap yourself.

lexievelyn8179 · August 2015

When I could no longer stand the idea of reading a book that I know deals with a miscarriage at one point in it. Just the idea of it breaks my heart. I had started rereading it before I found out I was pregnant, and I had to shelf it because I just can't imagine getting to that part again now.

CatC86 · August 2015

The first time you realize your kid is getting ready to throw up and your realize that you've got nothing around to catch it with so you try to catch it with your hands, then instantly regret it. YUCK!

YTuMamaTambien · August 2015

what sealed it for me was when I started caring what happened to me bc I have to be there for my babies. Things scare me now that I never would have bat an eye at before.
