You know you're the parent of a newborn when...

For those of you who already have kids out of the newborn stage, like me, I'm sure you've forgotten conveniently tucked these away in some remote portion of your brain by now. For those without kids, here's a little preview!

Here are some things that happen to your life when you have a newborn...welcome to my world!

1. You wake up and look at yourself in the mirror and realize that last night's mascara looks good enough to intentionally not scrub around your eyes when you wash your face.
2. You hear a baby crying (could be real, could be on TV) and immediately start bouncing and swaying back and forth.
3. Your maternity shorts wont stay up and your regular shorts won't stay on.  You revert to work-out gear. At all times.
4. You discover your innate ability to do all things with one-hand.  
5. You realize that you've taken a daily five minute shower and a cup of coffee for granted your entire life.
6. You've never cared so much about someone else's poop.
7. You know the exact location of every squeaky board in your house.
8. You forget what you were saying, mid sentence.
9. You find yourself singing the songs that the bouncy chair plays all day.  Except that song doesn't have any words.  So, you make them up.  "Have you seen my iPhone?  It is lost! I can't find it..." 
10. You realize that you can sleep almost anywhere.  Sitting and / or standing included.

The little bundle that makes this all possible...
