Thoughts on momness

Being a Mom is so weird. I expected to change my values and beliefs as soon as I saw my daughter, but I haven't. I thought it would be easy to live my life the same but with a new friend, but my life is nothing like what it was before she got here. It's impossible to get anywhere fast, it's impossible to get anywhere in the morning, because that is when I get the bulk of my sleep. It's impossible to go on a date with Ben without calling home to check on the baby. It is so weird. BUT...it is all worth it because it's her, all she has to do is be herself and my life before her is just a lame memory. It is so weird how fast all that changed. I do miss stuff, like wearing normal bras, being able to be away from home for more than 3 hours, being able to do what I want when I want, sleeping for 8 hours in a row. For those that are contemplating having a baby, which is probably not many of my readers, I say go for it, just be ready to fall in love so hard that you will be willing to give everything, all of it, more than you would ever sanely give to another human being ever.
Oh and by the way, she is the most fun friend I have ever had, no offense to my buds, but Evelyn is the COOL-EST person ever! She makes me happier than anybody I know, and in a way that is so different than anyone I know. It is definitely weird... but awesome.
