Thirty things that change when you have a baby
by Rebecca Woolf


1. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.

2. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.

3. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.

4. You respect your body ... finally.

5. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.

6. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.

7. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.

8. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.

9. Your heart breaks much more easily.

10. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.

11. Every day is a surprise.

12. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)

13. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.

14. You become a morning person.

15. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.

I LOVE this page Kell! She is so beautiful. The simple word, 'beautiful' just doesn't seem like enough to describe her.

Oh wow she is so darling. I so remember when Margot started to wake up and have open eyes. Not she seems like she is about to start walking and she is only four months older than Lily. Crazy the changes. She is amazing.
