Top Surprises of Motherhood

I was reading this article on a baby website I frequent about the surprises of motherhood. I would see these articles while I was pregnant and say "nope not me" HA HA HA. How things change once you have the little one wiggling in your arms while you try try try to straighten your hair and make the bed at the same time. Ok so maybe that was an exaggeration but that is what it feels like! But the point of the article rang true to me. I look different, I have no idea where my time goes, I am overwhelmed by love, I hate being a parent sometimes, my friendships have changed, and my relationship with my husband has changed but...I am stronger than I ever imagined. I use to bitch when I was woken up at 2 am from the neighbors. Now I can push through the day with minimal sleep. Any one who knows me knows I have a weak stomach. Cares can tell you about snot and licorice LOL! Now changing extremely poopy diapers and plunging snotty noises has no effect one me. I wear clothes with spit up on them and I smell like breast milk but my husband still thinks I am beautiful and makes sure to tell me so. I can do my makeup while putting baby girl down for her morning snooze. I can ease the pain of another being even when their cry is making my heart break. I am capable of so much more than I ever thought. Crazy how much your life can change in just 2 months!
