I never thought...
*It would be so tempting to just wear pajamas or yoga pants all day long and not get ready for the day
*I'd forget to brush my teeth in the morning so many times! (while I was on maternity leave...not now!)
*Losing weight would be so hard...maybe I'm one of those that lose weight only AFTER she stops breastfeeding? Or I might have to lay off the chocolate. Either way...
*I would be a PRO at sleeping while sitting UP! I could never do it on the plane (and believe me, I've been on a lot of LONG flights!) Guess when it's 4am and you're feeding the baby, you're just so tired, it just happens. And for me...ALL THE TIME. I need to rethink how to stay awake, because I'll wake up 2 hours later and I've got her on my lap still, and we're both sleeping! Glad the crick in my neck goes away by mid morning though :)
*I'd be so paranoid about SIDS and RSV. I'm always checking her to make sure she's breathing!
*I'd wish every day that my child...remains a child...a baby preferrably!
*It would be so much harder to resist buying clothes for HER than it is to buy stuff for ME (although, I've totally resisted. My mother-in-law, on the other hand...she has a problem. Claire already has 3 swimsuits...)
*That even though I have to make "sacrifices" because now I have a baby... (can't do certain things, go certain places as often, accept invitations to do things, etc.) I couldn't care less. Nothing is a sacrifice really. Having her is better than anything she makes more difficult for me to do.
*That I'd be paranoid about my milk supply and CONSTANTLY thinking about it and thinking about the next feeding, etc.
Motherhood definitelychanges things!

Did you get the invite to my baby shower? It was sabado, I was hoping to see you and Claire there, we need to see each other, minha filha!!
beijus beijus, te amo!!
You are such a cute mom, Janessa! Claire is beautiful! :) I'll have to come meet her sometime soon. :)
Love the poem! It is amazing how you can't fully comprehend how you or your life will change with a new baby! Isn't it the best! And by the way you look Fabulous! You won’t lose the weight overnight – I didn’t lose it over 3 years and I’m prego again! You don’t have much to lose just give it a few more months and you will be back in tip top shape!
So, so true. Love all your "never thoughts".
