you changed your baby WHERE?!

i was one of those "i will NEVER do that" people before I had my own baby.

It actually amuses me to think about some of the things I do/say now that I swore up and down I wouldn't. I am sure it amuses my mother even more.....
  • Change her anywhere other than a designated changing facility. I have changed her in the car and on a table.... I'm not proud.
  • come up with stupid words for things. She has a binkie and a lovie... and I am sure I call plenty of other random things around the house something stupid too - as much as I try to stop myself.
  • Be relaxed when other people hold her etc. I am not. If they aren't doing it "right", I have to correct them no matter how hard I try to let it go. I know what she likes damn it.
  • Use nicknames. Remember this post? I mean, she doesn't really have a true nickname, but we do call her Peanut or sometimes just Miss G.
  • Discuss my L&D with anyone who is expanding in the mid-section &/or holding a bay-bee. I don't do this often, but I have found myself sitting around with my girlfriends discussing the interworkings of labor. More than one time.

I am sure there are a million more, but I only think of them when I am not blogging and brushing my teeth or driving to work.....

What have you done that you were SURE you wouldn't after you had a baby? Or hell, just in general! (Um, I always said I would never have unkept eyebrows and man you should see the beasts right now....)

I have never publicly shown my feet without toenail polish since I was 18, and I never will. They don't have to be pro pedicured- it's much cheaper to do at home- but they ALWAYS will look nice.

I'll go along with nursing in public. I swear I'd never do it, but you do what you have to. I changed Kylie's diaper on the airplane floor b.c she was screaming she was wet and the door to the bathroom was locked for about 35 minutes *shudder*...give my kids mac n cheese....twice in a day, etc. etc. lol
