What thing has drastically changed since having a precious baby?
My social life! Although I am enjoying raising my kids, I am looking forward to when they're older so I can go out with friends again! LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Ashley! Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking the time to leave a sweet comment! We've only been married a year, so we don't have kids yet... this post made me laugh though! We often say as we are rushing out the door at 6 AM (yes, 6!!!) to carpool to work "How would we have done this today with kids!?" I guess you just make it work... but HANG IN THERE! Looks like he is totally worth it!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I am with you on every single one! Having a baby is SUCH a huge change. Even having just had my third baby (six months ago), I found that most of these reoccurred. My favorite was wanting silence, rather than music, in the car. That is SO true for me!
ReplyDeleteUmm, yes to all of this. Motherhood changes EVERYTHING! And it's crazy how little changes for the dads...how does that work??
