..... I actually used this sentence with my husband today... our daughter farted on my finger when I was putting on Aquafor. Man... Things have gotten romantic over here!!
...you make a mental pro/con list to determine if you should put the sleeping baby down and risk her waking up to go to the bathroom before your bladder explodes, or enjoying her actually sleeping and potentially pee the bed. And typically you go with the latter!
Your heart literally feels like it's bursting with love. I also have a 5 year old whom I love more than anything but I forgot how intense the love feels til you "get used" to it. I realize that probably sounds bad. It's not meant to, I just can't think of a better way to describe it.
Someone else's bodily fluids not only matter, but can make you happy! Yay you need your diaper changed?! That's # today! Or oh, let me get that out of your nose!
I am 27, DH is 26. We have been married since September 28, 2013. We had our first child, Zoey, February 7, 2016.
When you're rocking the grocery cart back and forth, and then remember you're shopping alone...
I find myself bouncing while I stand, even if I'm not holding the baby...especially if I'm watching somebody else hold her. I think it's me trying to subliminally show them how she likes to be held! Plus I don't know what to do with my hands if I'm not holding her so I just cross them lol
When your obgyn appointment is something you look forward to because you have time to return email! I had my iud placed yesterday and I got so much done in the office!
...you come home from a grocery trip with both kids and feel like you deserve a gold medal and a large glass of wine.
Oh man, I take my two (2.5y and 2m) grocery shopping every week and I treat myself to Starbucks every time we make it through without anyone (including myself) crying.
@VitaLuna I tried once. Had to call DH at work to come help me checkout. It was aweful and I felt like such a failure. I always took DD grocery shopping but two is a game changer
@BabySeaTurtles how is that carrier for the cart? I've been eyeing it for some time. I have four kiddos and I usually have my 7 year old push the stroller with the baby while I shop with the cart lol. It works but this looks so awesome.
You're a fairly earth-conscious person, but decide to buy the mega packs of paper plates, cups, and plastic silverware because you're sick of the constant sink-full of dishes and running the dishwasher daily.
You have a sleeping baby on your chest and you text your husband "come sniff her butt" to be sure she's not dirty before you lay her down for bed. (such romantic texting, right?)

@Latina211508 - It is completely amazing!!! I saw it on Pinterest while pregnant and immediately found it on Amazon to add to my registry. It's called a cart hammock and couldn't be easier to use. She falls asleep every time and I totally have room for groceries. It's folds up small and I keep it in the diaper bag. Just a warning though, baby is out in the open so of course I get stopped every other aisle by those who gush over the hammock or the baby or both.

Girl, you should treat yourself even if someone DOES cry!

I jokingly asked the girl at Starbucks if they had anything with vodka in it. Yeah.. That went over like a fart in church. I'm surprised CPS didn't show up at my door. No sense of humor with that girl.
Re: You Know You're a Mother to an Infant When...
And
When you no longer carry a purse because what you need fits in baby's diaper bag.
...when you have to reheat your cup of coffee at least 5 times and eventually you give up and put it in the fridge to try again tomorrow
