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

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

  • Your husband walks in from work and after smelling what a normal person should smell like, you realize you haven't showered that day or maybe even the day before.

  • Instead of perfume and make up you wear baby spit up and poop.

  • Sleep no longer exists because you are in the lightest sleep on your life making sure your baby is still alive!

  • You care more about what outfit your baby is going to wear that day rather than fixing your own self up for the day.

  • You no longer listen to your favorite stations on Pandora.  Instead it's been taken over by the Baby Einstein station and you actually enjoy it.

  • You forget what day it is due to lack of sleep.

  • You look around your house and all you see in every single room is bottles, pacifiers, burp clothes, diapers, baby clothes, and dust from where you haven't cleaned all week.

  • Your baby poops in the bathtub and you laugh because it's cute instead of gross!

  • Your babies umbilical cord falls off and you cry because it's such a milestone!

  • You look at your spouse in a totally different light.  He is so much more than just a husband now.  He's an amazing father.  It makes my heart sing.

  • You look at the precious baby you are holding in your arms and know that God has made your life complete and that life will never be the same.


If you are a new mom make this your next blog post! It's fun to compare each others takeson being new mommies.

  2. I couldn't agree more with the post. I still care more about what Bryan is wearing then what I am, and he is almost two! I love the photo. Motherhood is one of God's finer gifts. :)

  3. What about when your baby girl has 35 matching outfits in her closet that she will never wear...and you have one matching outfit(that fits) and it is dirty and has been worn the past three days straight!

    Cheers!
