I have been a Mother for over 10 weeks now, so I thought it was a good time to reflect on the things I have done, the situations I have been in and the new reality of what my life has become. So with that, I bring you my"Top Ten Things I Never Thought I'd Do Before I Became A Mother"
(in no particular order)
1. I narrate my shower activities to keep Addison company, while she is in her bouncer in the bathroom with me.
2. I get spit-up on me several times a day and don't bother cleaning up since I know it's just gonna happen again when I least expect it.
3. I spend hours a day with bare breasts all around the condo and think nothing of it.
4. I wear cloth diapers in my tops to absorb all the leaking.
5. I breastfed in a Brookfield Zoo's bathroom handicap stall, sitting on a toilet.
6. I sing the National Anthem and other patriotic tunes to Addison since my repetoire of lullabies is lacking.
7. I blast static non-channels on my car radio while driving around with a crying Addison, and it doesn't phase me one bit.
8. I am obsessed with cleaning out eye goo.
9. I walk around the neighborhood, Target, Dominicks, etc. speaking "Motherese".
10. I have never been this excited and proud to make someone smile. :)
