You Know You’re A New Mom When…

I've had the wonderful opportunity to talk to so many new moms. And yes, they are sleep deprived, but oh, how their eyes light up when they talk about the baby. And there is nothing better! So here are a dozen things new moms shared:.

You Know You’re A New Mom When…

• Your hair looks like oily strands of spaghetti.
• You have orange spit up on your shirt and just don't care.
• Your baby has two different colored socks on.
• You get excited when your baby\ poops, even when it's all over both of you!
• You answer the baby monitor when the phone rings.
• You wake up in bed cradling your pillow like a baby.
• You threw the pukey burp cloth in the dirty diaper pail and the dirty diaper in the washing machine – Oy Vey! 
• You use your baby’s wipes to wash your face.
• You wash out your baby’s bottle and fill it with water and take a drink because it’s too much trouble to get a glass and you’re thirsty!
• You fall asleep on the phone when your husband is talking to you.
• You order online products at the 3am feeding while you're burping the baby.
• And lastly…you can’t stop kissing your new little bundle, with more love than you ever thought possible!
