You know you're a mom when....

dianabeee · January 2016

Thought this would be fun.

You know you're a mom when you shush everyone in the house so they won't wake up the baby. Lol

Keep em coming!

alcrimmins · January 2016

You know you're a mom when it seems normal to have a discussion about poopy diapers.

Edited b/c words

YouAreMySunshine15 · January 2016

You know you're a mom when you don't have to work, but you're still waking up at 6am (and 10pm and 12am and 3am and 5am) every day.

dianabeee · January 2016

When your up at 345 AM googleling "constipation remedies for babies"

beemaya83 · January 2016

....you cut your hair short, thus getting a "mom" hair cut.

virginiaunicorn11 · January 2016

...You get your fruits for the day by a) eating the pieces of apple that LO bit off that were too big for him to keep chewing (mmm, tiny drool covered, chewed apple bits!), and b) licking the spoon after LO's done with his purees.

Yuck.

BabsTheBunny · January 2016

I have just done that myself @beemaya83.
Cut 15in off my hair

You know you're a mom when you turn down lunch with friends because it's during prime nap time hours.

Sammy K · January 2016

You know you're a mom when Saturday night is spent on the phone with a nurse helpline because your toddler swallowed a penny.

beemaya83 · January 2016

@BabsTheBunny it looks great!!!! And lol oh so true!

@Sammy K omg I hope LO Is ok. You know, such a coincidence you mention this happening. My DH, leaves lose change everywhere and he started leaving it on top of our bed where I occasionnaly change LO diaper. I've been paranoid he would swallow one if I'm not around and DH decides to leave the change there again.

Sammy K · January 2016

@beemaya83 It was our 3 yo, but I worry about LO getting ahold of stuff he drops on the floor. So far, she's more interested in the dog chew toy than anything. It's amazing how fast she is if she spots it on the floor.

beemaya83 · January 2016

Woops I missed the "toddler" part. I'm so scared of LO choking on anything period. I've been considering taking a CPR/First Aid class. I just need to figure out where. I'm in California so maybe my hospital offers some, I need to check. @Sammy K

Any ideas? Anyone?

LolaMarley23 · January 2016

You know you're a mom when you have a sick baby and the only thing that makes him happy is giving you slobbery kisses and rubbing his drooly hands all over your face, so you let him do it. Been doubling up on the vitamin c and expecting to be sick later this week... Anything to see him smile i guess!

JeeGooDowster · January 2016

You're singing and cooing all of her favorite sounds and songs that calm her down....while doing your makeup.

mjschenk · January 2016

You find yourself telling DH that LO will tell you when he is tired if he will listen. Yes I understand my 7 month old doesn't speak. But if you catch the first eye rub he naps so much easier.

RaiEliJusHell1369 · January 2016

motherhood is wondering what your 7 month old has in his mouth only to find out it's dog food...

Sammy K · January 2016

You've sat through 2 meetings before realizing there is a huge snot trail on your shoulder.

7425cait · January 2016

You say things like..."please don't play with your spit up"

HoosOnFirst · January 2016

You are in the basement doing laundry and your husband comes in and says it's funny that you are singing the "Peg + Cat" theme song. And you realize you had absolutely no idea you were singing.

This!!! Daily! Then the dog wants to clean it up, both on the floor and lo's face so you have to tell them to stop making out.

klirwin82 · January 2016

...when you carry a sketchy Ziploc baggie full of unidentified pills in your purse all the time but it's nothing fun, just your thrice daily fenugreek/blessed thistle/Brewer's yeast/More Milk Plus combo.

BabsTheBunny · January 2016

@Steph0727 I don't know which is worse the drool covered hands to the face or when they shove those drool covered hands straight into your mouth.

Thank you @beemaya83 all my family are having a fit over me cutting it and I'm just like no regrets. I was even crazy enough to let DH do it for me.

I wish it was just the stuff on the floor to worry about. The other day, LO stopped rolling around to feel underneath the couch. After a minute or so, his hand emerged with an upholstery staple that he had pulled out!

This kid can take as long as he wants to start crawling, I'm in no rush. It feels like such a big task to keep this one kid out of trouble, right now my brain can't even wrap itself around the idea of watching two or more.

LaurenAnn0405 · January 2016

When your only "alone time" is in the car to and from work because when the kids go to bed, that's when you go to bed too!

Why is this so accurate? !

I got another one....

When your shoe size when up because you know, pregnancy does weird things to your body.

I went shopping today and I'm no longer a 6.5

dianabeee · January 2016

When you have a whole list of things you want to get done when the baby takes a nap but u end up laying on the couch instead.

This was exactly me today.

A VP invites you out for drinks to talk about your career... And you ask if you can just do a 4:00 meeting instead.

Sammy K · January 2016

You find yourself doing the "mom sway" whenever you're standing around, even if there's no baby in your arms.

venniep87 · January 2016

When someone looks through the music on your phone and it's mostly baby lullabies..

venniep87 · January 2016

When you can't take anymore pics because your phone memory is already full of baby pics!

This! I took my female coworker out for a beer at 4 pm today to make my train home!

^^ So glad I'm not the only person who does this!

When you wake up with Daniel Tiger songs playing in your head.

mjschenk · February 2016

You finally schedule like a full day away from little one babysitter and all and end up not missing a feeding because you fell your third time down the ski hill. And all you are mad about is that LO had to sit at the insta care with you for two hours which included many evil looks toward sick people coming to sit near you in the designated healthy waiting area.

mamameghan · February 2016

When you find yourself adopting kids speak into your regular language "ugh, I have to go wash babas", "I'll be back, just going to hit up the potty"...you know what I mean. We call Disney's Frozen "Anna and elsa". Cinderella is
now named "Lella". It's "daddy's car" not just car. Whatever your toddler says ends up in regular rotation.

Also, you know your a mom when a phone call is interrupted with "no, stop", "don't eat that", "stop hitting your sister". My hubby says it's like talking to someone with Tourette's (no offence means for those who suffer).

When you suddenly feel the weird sensation of your shirt rubbing against your nipple and realize you didn't do up your nursing bra after the last session. This has happened in public on more than one occasion now.

When you always have milk spots on your shirt from milk stained drool.

When you do a once-over and frantically try to scratch or rub the (insert bodily fluid here) out of your shirt/jacket before walking into work/a meeting

When you wonder if 430 pm is too early to start drinking ?............
