You know you're a parent when...






You know you're a parent when...

... you get excited about (baby) poops.

... your dinner conversation is about poop... consistency, color and quantity...

... a burp is music to your ears.

... you sleep with one eye open.

... a good night's sleep is now 5 hours... not 8.

... there's no just getting up and going somewhere... you have to pack a suitcase.

... you talk and act like a complete weirdo trying to make your baby smile.

... you're away from the baby he's all you think about and can't wait to be with him.

... a baby's cry is no longer annoying... it makes you sad and all you want to do is fix it.

... you get sad when you see your child outgrow your favorite outfit.

... you've been peed on, spit up on and pooped on and you're not grossed out.

... little fingers and little toes absolutely amaze you.

... your dog becomes a dog.

... your definition of "watching TV" is watching your baby sleep in the video monitor.

... being on time is a thing of the past.

... your feet function as a second set of hands when holding the baby.

... someone else is holding your crying baby, you're swaying or bouncing!

... there's nothing else in the world that you love more than your child.
