31 for 21: Things to come

I get weekly emails and updates from the website babycenter.com and i love it. It has all kinds of info and being a first time mom i love to read it all. This week one of the topics is 42 things that change when you have a baby, curious, i read on and here are some of my favorite things i read and am looking forward to. Have a mentioned i can't wait to have this baby girl and i am allready obbessed with her, just saying! The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices. You respect your body ... finally. You respect your parents and love them in a new way. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day. Every day is a surprise. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!) You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself. You become a morning person. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power. And from our readers...
