Happy 18 months my sunshine โ๏ธ

Time flies way too fast.
I wouldโve never pictured my life the way it is now. โค๏ธ

For me, after my baby boy changes everything.
1. How Little I Sleep
Yes, as a parent, you learn to function on only a few hours of precious shut-eye. Gone are the days when you can sleep in on weekends and then take a nap later the same day.
2. Going Out Is Sooooo Much Harder
It used to be so easy to just get dressed, grab my purse, and go.
And now,I dread having to go out, because it means I have to dress my son, pack his diaper bag, food bag, stroller, toys, bundle all this stuff into the car, unload all this stuff at my destination, and then reload everything to go back home, usually forgetting a few items in the process. ๐คฃ
3. You See Your Body Differently
Your body goes through A LOT of changes during and after baby and itโs made me realize that Iโm a lot stronger than I used to give myself credit for and I totally appreciate having my body back to myself, thank you very much!
And letโs be honest, some things go back to pre-pregnancy form and some donโt โ something thatโs been hard for me to come to terms with. Accepting your body, changes and all, can be difficult. Right now Iโm focusing on getting leaner, stronger and healthier.
4. You Watch the Same Cartoons Every Day
Iโm not going to lie, Iโve seen every episode of Care Bears & Cousins that Netflix has made, several times each. And Cocomelon. ๐ค
Even worse, you know all the theme songs and sing them to yourself in your car, in the shower, while walking to work or when doing chores. OMG! ๐๐คญ
5. You Start Worrying About Everything
You are so in love with your child that you worry about all the things out there that you have to protect them against. Illness, accidents, bullies, predators, poor life choices, bad friends, drugs/alcohol โ the list never ends! ๐ตโ๐ซ
A BIG BUT, Changes after baby can be challenging, but they are also beautiful.
