Embracing motherhood

You know you have embraced motherhood when:
# you have dark circles under your eyes from all the night milk parties.
# when you change diapers atleast 18 times a day...... And stop counting after that.
# when a 'spa' visit means a hot shower!
# when you feel like a total zombie but when you get a toothless smile, ALL the tiredness and the stress goes away
# when your hair sometimes doesn't know what a comb or hairbrush means until 1 pm in the afternoon! Lol yes its happened to me too.
# when you hear a tiny little wail and it breaks your heart because you don't know how to make it stop.
# when an aerated drink is your best friend because you need the sugar rush.
# when you see yourself browsing baby sections in malls and baby websites online.
# when your top google searches are things like 'how to set a schedule for a newborn baby', 'what is the normal feeding schedule for a newborn', ' which is the best diaper' etc.
# when you become one of those annoying people who spam others with cutie pie pictures of your little one. Just because they are too sweet to miss!!!
# when your timings are suddenly known as feed times and burping the baby is a major activity!!!!!
# when you can't remember the time when you had unbroken 8 hours of sleep.
# when all your fancy-schmancy purses are replaced by mommy looking diaper bags.
# when you love someone so much its just in your heart and all over your life. You just want this one tiny little person to be happy and smiling soooooo much always.

When your baby smiles, coos and giggles, laughs and at times cries (at times is pretty frequent btw) you just become the best mom you can be at that moment. And yes the best dad too!!!!
