-Because I sing lullabies in the shower, either to entertain our 6 month old who sits in her bouncer staring at me while I lather up, or because I'm actually singing them to myself even when she is not there with me.
-Because I still don't have the courage to take driving lessons let alone the driving test. I never took a lesson on parenting and no one felt the need to quiz me on being a mom.
-Because when your baby has had two surgeries within the first 6 weeks of life, you just don't know what normal ever was or what it's supposed to feel like. So you find the new normal and laugh as much and whenever you can.
-Because the highlight of my day is watching my baby watch me and realizing she kind of likes what she sees.
-Because I care more about her wardrobe than my own when I never thought that was even a remote possibility.
-Because I thought I would be a zen mama goddess who wouldn't need any baby bouncers, baby jumperoos, or any baby accessory to keep my baby happy. But now I'm basically like, give me everything because I will try anything.
-Because even when I am thoroughly exhausted, not making any sense, crying for no apparent reason and feeling like I will never know what experiencing balance in my life feels like again, I can still gaze at any part of my baby's body and feel better.
