Personally, I have always believed I was ready for motherhood. I was ready to be selfless, sleepless and hot-body-less long before I actually had my daughter. Every now and then, though, I catch myself doing something and thinking " I really never thought I'd do that":
So here are some of my cringe-worthy, cute (?) & normal(??)
..I really never thought I'd...
- Get super pissed that Sesame Street doesn't make new episodes frequently
- Wish that leaving your kid in the car while running into 7-11 for snacks wasn't dangerous, illegal and stupid
- Feel that stores without drive-thrus ruin everything (ok..that's a blatant lie, I've thought about this for as long as I've been lazy)
- Drink from a sippy cup or bottle
- Let my kid watch an hour of Sesame Street just so I could get a little extra sleep
- Eat food that has been sucked on by my child, fallen out of her mouth or been found stuck to her or her clothing
- Melt into a puddle of love every.single.time my daughter rests her head on my shoulder
- Not shower/change clothes immediately following a "vomit shower"
- Wish that forward facing car seats were safer
- Have my shirt double as a baby tissue (only when nothing appropriate is available...for the most part)
- Co-sleep (it may be the only reason I didn't experience severe sleep deprivation those first few months)
- Inspect a poopy diaper that "just looks weird"
- Try pureed meat
Just to name a few. I'm sure plenty more will come to me..probably enough to write another post.
So stay tuned!
The day the person that would have me do things "I never thought I'd do" was brought into my life
