when you have a baby

When you have a baby: 
  • You stand in front of the mirror at midnight and chop your long tresses off because you forgot when was the last time you washed it.
  • Having a nice shower is a luxury and 11pm, 12 or, sometimes 1 am is the right time.
  • You are changing all the time - the diaper, the clothes, or the bibs.
  • The baby is smelling fresh and nice while you smell... nevermind!
  • You wonder what is sleep, and you can do it while sitting.
  • You are confident that someday you can sleep while standing too.
  • Rock a bye baby is classic rock, and bloody mary and her lamb is suddenly all so important.
  • Tummy time is olympics to you.
  • You act like a clown to entertain the baby.
  • The longest road trip is to the grocer.
  • Sex is what you tick in a form as male/female/other.
  • The universe and all the galaxies revolve around your little one.
  • You feel disconnected when friends mail you about their problems in life.
  • You click pictures of every gesture of the baby and send it to unsuspecting relatives.
  • You don't know who cries more when baby gets vaccinated and stay awake the whole night to soothe the little one in your arms.

This post really took me back. My kids were cute babies and all but I am quite happy to be done with that phase ;)

I think I should prepare myself well ahead for that phase. Or does it come naturally like all say ? :-)

@jazz: Being prepared doesn't hurt but nothing compares to the real thing.:-)
