I was feeding Connor the other day and it dawned on me how much things change when you have a baby, here are a few of my new momma signs...
- I don't cut my finger nails because they make the perfect baby nose booger grabber.
- I hover over his bed for 10 minutes to make sure he is still breathing, then poke him just to be sure.
- Being peed, pooed or spewed on no longer bother us.
- We get a big goofy smile every time we are out in public and someone talks about Connor.
- Our conversations all involve how much Connor eats, sleeps or poos.
- Nothing melts your heart faster then when he smiles.
- We take at least 30 pictures a day.
- I already want another one (don't worry its a few years down the road!!!lol)
- When Connor is crying or dirty he is Tyson's baby, any other time, he is mine.
- We cant go out with out buying something for the little man, rephrase that, TYSON can't go out with out buying something for the little man. :)
- We have tons of places we want to take him and things to do with him even though he wont remember any of them, we still don't care.
- I can stare at him sleeping forever.
- My new favorite smell is baby formula breath.
That's it for now, I will have to come up with more later.
