Things that change when you have a baby........

I have a 4 month old little girl and I found a link on the Internet that I found interesting "42 things that change when you have a baby I decided to pick my favorite ones!
where you once believed you were  fearless, you now find yourself afraid
This is so true! I fear everything and its not with my baby but with all three of my kids! I fear them being teased t school, making friends, getting hurt physically and mentally. all my fears are for my kids when they walk out that door everyday. I fear for Emma every time I put her down to sleep SIDS is something I have worried about the moment I brought her home so much that it would bring me to tears because I couldn't imagine it happening to her. The fear you have for your children is unlike any other and some of the thing you worry about can seem so silly but how do can you help it these are your children.

You respect your parents and love them in a new way
Oh how I appreciate my parents so much more! I feel like I was pretty ungrateful when I was a child. Being a parent is hard work and I can not imagine what my mom had to grow through when I was little being a single parent till I was about 5 I don't think I could do it without my husband. I wish my own kids appreciated me more and I realize that is what my mom felt like ex-specially going through the teenage years when I was horrible. I look back now and I know they did the best they new how to.

You find that your baby's pain feels much more worse than your own
Nothing is worse than when your child is in pain and you can not fix it. you want nothing more than to take that pain away from them.

Everyday is a surprise
I love when Emma learns something new. She changes everyday and it definitely is surprising. she does something new everyday! It could be something as small as a new look or the way she laughs its so amazing to me how much they change so quickly. Everyday is different and no day is ever the same there is always a new challenge.

Your heart breaks much more easily
When your child is sad and you see those tears it is so heartbreaking. It breaks my heart when my kids are upset even I am the one that upset them.

Bodily functions are no longer repulsive
Poop is absolutely disgusting and I hate changing poopy diapers, however when Emma poops it makes me happy. nothing makes me happier than to know my baby's body is doing what it's supposed to. I love the cute faces she make when they go! I can't help laugh at those tiny little farts she has!

You rather buy your baby something than yourself
I love shopping for my little one. I rather buy her a new toy or outfit than buy something for myself!

You discover an inner strength you never thought you had
Let's be honest being a parent is rough and sometimes you think you can't take anymore but something inside helps you pull yourself together so you can be a parent again.

You learn that taking a shower is a luxury
Getting a shower is amazing when you get the chance which is not often and I usually shower while I bathe Emma but when I get a shower to myself it is like heaven.

You just plain love your life
Nothing completes your life more than your children and they are what life is all about. Even in my darkest moments they can put a smile on my face!

Nothing is just yours anymore. You share everything
You give everything to your baby ex specially yourself. Your time is no longer yours. As they grow your food will longer be yours either . Ha ha

I love every moment with my children but life does change and it does take adjusting. I wouldn't change one single moment. I love being a mom and my children are why my life is so wonderful!
