Top Ten Signs of a New Mom

10. On my first day home alone and trying to make breakfast, I thought to myself- "Toast is too complicated." Thankfully, I have toast down now.

9. Not showering until 4pm, regularly.

8. I was so excited about the size of a booger that I suctioned from her nose, that I wanted to save it to show Pete when he got home.

7. After ending a call, still walking around with the phone between my shoulder and ear for a good ten minutes while changing a diaper.

6. On my first outing to the grocery store, I was so excited that I actually thought about what I was going to wear.

5. I am having prolonged conversations with any adult I come across- the crossing guard, people at the dog park,the mailman. . .

4. I cried when I clipped her finger while cutting her nails and drew blood.

3. Composing songs about burping, nursing, pooping and sleeping.

2. On our first big outing I thought I was doing everything right, car seat, feeding, burping,etc.. . until we got home and I realized I hadn't changed her diaper in 6 hours.

1. Feeling so in love that everything I enjoyed before is not quite as magical.
