Life as a Mommy

I was thinking today about the ways in which my life has changed since Carson arrived. There are the obvious ones that I was told to expect, and some I found kind of funny and would not have predicted.

  1. I am not well rested, see my lovely under eye circles?
  2. My hair is almost always a mess
  3. I wear pajamas most of the day
  4. Wearing real clothes and doing my hair makes me incredibly happy
  5. My falsetto voice is getting more use
  6. I say the most ridiculous things to get a smile from Carson
  7. I get super excited about big hunks of snot I pull from his nose
  8. I have to plan ahead for all my meals
  9. I almost never get to eat when I am hungry
  10. I make up songs and sing them while dancing around the house with Carson
  11. Sometimes at night I think I hear him crying, but he’s fast asleep…is that normal?
  12. I never watch anything in one sitting.  I am currently watching a movie that has taken me 3 days to finish.  Thanks DVR!
  13. Any outing takes a lot of preparation
  14. I am learning to get through the grocery store very quickly…I used to be a browser
  15. I’d rather wash dishes after dinner than be on baby duty
  16. Going to bed at 8 is not all that crazy
  17. Dinner “out” means we pick it up and bring it home
  18. I love this little boy more than I thought possible…even though he did this to my couch cushions

    This post makes me so happy. I always felt like it was a great day if I got my teeth brushed before 3 in the afternoon.

    Was this the day you wanted to make the dinner rolls? :) I always think I hear Maddie crying while I’m in the shower, but she rarely is. I think it’s normal.
