Signs of a Newborn Mommy - Beyond Mommying

You know you’re a mom of a newborn when:

Your shirt is almost always wet from spit up, leaky boobs or explosive diapers (or a combination of the three)
Three hours of uninterrupted sleep is considered a good rest
Any meal where you don’t have to breastfeed, hold baby or listen to baby cry is a good meal
One bicep is bigger than the other from lugging baby around in the car seat
You do laundry at least every other day
Taking a long, interrupted shower is just a dream
You frequently leave the house without even thinking about looking in the mirror
Exposing yourself to breastfeed everywhere and anywhere is no big deal
Every task you set out to complete gets interrupted at least once
You become a pro at doing everything one handed while you hold baby in the other
Running errands requires more preparation and luggage than a week long beach vacation used to
Your bed is used more often for feeding and diaper changing than sleeping
You don’t even THINK about using your bed for anything other than sleeping, feeding and diaper changing
Pee and poop become a part of normal dinner time conversation
Despite being more tired than you’ve ever been in your life, you stay awake staring in awe at baby while s/he sleeps
No matter how tired, sore, frustrated or overwhelmed you get, you still love that tiny little being more than you ever thought would be possible.
