How the World Has Changed Since Having a Baby

I get excited about things that are totally ridiculous in the "real world". (i.e. Her first booger. Really, I actually got up to see it.)


I used to think the nights were too short, now I think they are too long.


I'm no longer the center of the universe.


My daughter will probably marry some day and all of a sudden I don't know any men good enough to deserve her.


The first time ever that Addie was outside the air smelled fresher, the sun was brighter and I actually thought it might be fun to just go for a walk.


I understand why soccer mom's and old people drive the speed limit. Patience is a virtue and I have to start living virtues if I hope to teach them.


The first "real food" your daughter ever smells is amazing even when it's McDonald's (breakfast even).

Ann Here: This one reminds me of bringing Joe home from the hospital. We couldn't believe the nurses were going to let us have him and that they weren't coming with us to help. As we headed out in the car (me in the back seat, Dan driving the speed limit) we decided we couldn't take the freeway. We wound around Lake Nakomis gazing at the most beautiful sunset which seemed to be just for us.
