Then & Now

Before I was a mother I took long showers everyday. Now I am lucky to get a 5 minute shower!

Before I was a mother I slept in complete darkness. Now I sleep with the bathroom light on so that I don't trip over myself going to the nursery at 3am.

Before I was a mother I read novels. Now I read Dr. Seuss and The Little Engine that Could.

Before I was a mother I listened to all kinds of music. Now I listen to nursery rhymes and lullabies.

Before I was a mother I slept through the night. I haven't sleep longer then 5 hours at a time since April 3!

Before I was a mother I was entertained by my TV shows. Now my daughter's smiles and squeals keep me entertained for hours on end!

Before I was a mother it was all about me. Now I would do ANYTHING for her if it means she is happy.

Before I was a mother I did whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Now I live my life in 3 hour increments!

Before I was a mother I could be out of the house in 5 minutes. Now it takes me 30 minutes to get out plus another 10 to go back in to get what I forgot the first time!!

Before I was a mother I cared about all those things and worried about more. Now, I have learned to take every in stride...spit up on my shirt, no big deal, the spot isn't that big and it's probably going to happen again.

Now I am a mother and I wouldn't have it any other way!!
