How becoming a mom has changed me!

They are so many cliches about the moment they place your baby in your arms, how everything changes, how you will never be more in love than will you see s/he. It's true, I have never been in love more with anyone and I think about that moment every day. My daughter will be 4 mos and boy has she brought about changes. Here is my list on how becoming a mom has changed me.

• I am always TIRED! I don't think I have had a solid night's sleep since being pregnant. Sure, she sleeps through the night but I am so busy trying to get caught up on housework that I don't sleep.
• I have become more domesticated. Before Baby, I liked to cook but cleaning, finding things for the home were not my forte. Now, I am constantly looking at things for the home that keep it clean, organized or smelling great.
• I CLEAN daily. Like I said, I don't enjoy cleaning at all besides for the Kitchen, bathroom etc...Well having this baby I clean daily and have a routine. I must say I get satisfaction out of sweeping the tile daily.
• I MULTITASK. Yeah, I've heard it you can't really multitask but seriously I do. In the morning, my husband watches baby, I put bottle in warmer, walk the dog, feed the dog, take bottle out, change baby diaper and feed. 
• I HAVE DONE WHAT I SAID I WASN'T. Prior to baby, I had grandiose unrealistic expectations ideas of what I would never do. For Example, I was against COSLEEPING, guess who cosleeps sometimes...ME!
• I am searching for MOM FRIENDS. Again, I have always been shy and somewhat of a loner but since having baby, I have had a quest to find moms with babies. I feel that by making friends, I can bounce ideas, the babies can get together.
• DISORGANIZATION to ORGANIZING CHAOS. Before Baby, clutter and papers littered the house, bills got paid but not efficiently. Because spending time together as a family is so important, we have been streamlining our papers, filing away mail and trying to de-clutter our house one day at a time.

These are just a few ways that being a MOM has changed me. I do know that each day, I strive for better and I have a motivation so strong. I look forward to seeing the evolution of me, a year out, 2 years out and 18 years out.
