Up until approx. 35 seconds ago, today was a joke. One of those days that matches the weather to a T. Incidentally, the weather today has been  grey, sopping wet, cold, overall miserable. Bleck! Let me go back to sleep and wake up tomorrow when life looks a little brighter, a little warmer.  Well that is until Evan sent me an article about things that change once you have a baby. I must admit, I've been in panic mode with this baby and what changes will happen to my life and how I won't potentially be me any more and my, my, my, me, me, me, I, I, I. Nothing I'm proud of and already experiencing mom guilt about, but nevertheless, it's been riding sidecar with me the past few days. That is until I was reminded by the list below what our little bee will bring to us...

1. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.
2. Where you once believed you were fearless, you now find yourself afraid.
3. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.
4. You respect your body ... finally.
5. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.
6. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.
7. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.
8. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.
9. Your heart breaks much more easily.
10. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.
11. Every day is a surprise.
12. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)
13. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
14. You become a morning person.
15. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.
