    OMG, I have completely turned into a mom

    Well before I was pregnant I was totally about myself- tanning almost every day, spending hundreds of dollars on getting my hair colored, exercising every day, watching what I ate all the time, shopping EVERY weekend (not expensive stuff but still had to have a new outfit every week), you get the idea. Now don't get me wrong, I still wake every morning to put make-up on and try to look cute (as best as I can these days) but my priorities are sooooo different now. I went to the mall yesterday (to gett DD' s ears pierced) and I did not even have the slightest urge to shop for myself!! I guess I am so practical now, I mean, really, where do I go anyway these days besides the grocery store! Yep, I walked right by Bebe store and yes, the clothes looked so beautiful in the window but now I can think of so many other ways to spend money. Even DH skipped fishing so he could work on his life insurance and investing for the baby and future. Hopefully I won't totally start dorking out and wear mom jeans or anything but I have changed so much in these past 8 weeks since my baby was born. I know this is not something unique but it just amazes me how such a tiny baby can steal your heart (and mind!)

    Welcome to mommyhood! My DH actually told me that my chore for the weekend was to spend some money on myself. I can drop all kinds of money on the kids without batting an eye, but when it comes to me I just can't do it anymore. They'll totally turn your priorities around!

    Dang... I was lucky before the baby was born to get a new outfit every six months. but I totally know what you mean, my total focus is on the little one.

    yeah I totally know what you mean.... It's been 5 1/2 years since I had my first, and I'm almost 29. It's funny how different your life is. We moved 9 hours  away from "home" when I was 37 weeks pregnant with my first.... it was a whole new life Maine. I don't have much in common with all my friends who are still living the single kid free life, we're lucky if we get together a few times a year- and exchange an e-mail every couple months. After we fill each other in on what we're up to, it's like we run out of things to talk about.... and we end up talking about the good 'ole times, lol. Life is so much richer now.

    My life is just COMPLETE now. All that other stuff was filling up something that was missing in my life, I never knew I needed a baby, lol.
