You Know You're A Mom When...

Over the past few months I've slowly collected a list of "you know your a mom when" moments. I'll share some with you now...
You know you're a mom when...

The discussion of poop becomes perfectly acceptable dinner conversation
You enter the store and hear a baby cry and instantly think its your own, even if you don't have yours with you
You never used to drink coffee yet suddenly every morning the first thing you do at work is get a cup
Your house slowly becomes taken over by baby toys and items
You make a beeline for the baby section of the store hoping to score a great clearance deal on something adorable
Your mornings are spent scouring the deal a day discount baby websites
You run into a coworker after pumping and have a 10 minute conversation about pumps and which one you have
You go to an after work dinner meeting and your coworker asks you what you did with your milk!
You are sitting at your desk and suddenly find your shirt front soaked so you go to the bathroom and "spill water down yourself".
Your freezer contains more breastmilk then food
You enjoy waking up at 5am because you get greeted with the biggest smile ever which melts your heart and makes you forget that its 5am
You get to work thinking you are hiding the fact you're exhausted only to be told "You have that mommy face... rough night?"
You wake up in the middle of the night and can't find your baby so you hunt through your entire bed before remembering your husband has him downstairs.
You carry your phone with you everywhere when you are separated from your baby, checking it every 10 seconds just in case you miss a phone call or message.
Your computer is filled with thousands of pictures of the baby by month 3

And here is one of those thousands of baby pictures... ;)

  1. Aw, what a cutie pie! I know he looks a lot like his daddy, but I'm definitely starting to see some of you in that little face too :)
