Good Read!

With all the political stuff that's going on today, I wanted to post something different! I saw this on the internet, and I loved it! Those of you with kids, let me know what you think, and tell me if there's something that changed when you had a baby!

Things That Change When You Have a Baby
*Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.
*The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.
*You respect your body... finally.
*You respect your parents and love them in a whole new way.
*You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.
*You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.
*Your heart breaks much more easily.
*Every day is a surprise.
*Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you, (Hooray for poop!)
*Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.
*You finally realize that true joy doesn't come from material wealth.
*You now know where the sun comes from.
*You don't mind going to bed at 9 p.m. on Friday night.
*You realize that the 15 pounds you can't seem to get rid of are totally worth having.
*You discover an inner strength you never thought you had.
*You no longer rely on a clock — your baby now sets your schedule.
*You take the time for one more hug and kiss even if it means you'll be late.
*You learn that taking a shower is a luxury.
*You find yourself wanting to make this world a better place.
*If you didn’t believe in love at first sight before, now you do!

All those are true and a few more:

1) Brain mush - something about giving birth kills brain cells and you'll NEVER be able to find your keys.

2) Your new alarm clock is called a 'baby monitor' and forget about ever sleeping in again.

3)The best sound in the world is your baby letting out a great big belly laugh

Oh, and the crying at commercials never goes away!

I can't wait for you two to experience it all...

WOW! All those things are so true! When your daughter is born you will be overwhelmed with a love that is just so amazing! It is so hard to describe, it is a different kind of love. A kind that only a parent knows. I can't wait for you to experience it! Having children is what life is all about. My children are the best thing that ever happened to me. They make my life complete. I read through that list and said to myself yes that is so true! Funny. What a great thing you two are about to experience. COngrats!!!
