Since becoming a Mum I have learnt..

Since becoming a mum I have learnt many things. In fact I have become a whole new person. I am no longer number 1 priority, my daughter is and rightly so!

I have found motherhood to be the most life changing event of all. So I wanted to compile a list of a few things I have learnt along the way!

Number 1

Sleep is the new rock and roll! Seriously, anytime of the day if you have nothing that NEEDS to be done and your baby is napping. Put those feet up and take a nap yourself.

You will feel much more energetic and ready to play when they wake up! Plus you deserve it.

Number 2

It is OK to be seen in public without your hair & make up done. Some days there just isn't the time. It isn't the easiest job in the world getting two people ready ya know, then add possible crying/tantrums into the equation.

BB (before baby) I took my jolly old time getting ready and would not be seen dead without my make up on outside. But I've found motherhood let's you find an inner peace. I'm now happy enough in myself not to care of the publics opinion (for the most part). I do still love make up though which is why I take my time out of a night and do my beauty posts for Times2Style ;-)

Number 3

That baby reigns aren't as evil as they look. Yes, I'll admit that post baby I thought 'why would you put reigns on your baby, like a dog lead?!' 

I had no idea what the problem with just holding the babies hand was… naive much?! Obviously now I see the dangers everywhere and I'm currently on the look out for some cool backpack reigns for Mia! 

She is little Miss Independent and totally too cool to hold her mummy's hand walking down the road :-|

Number 4

My house is never going to be organized and mess free. I wish!

Number 5

Bodily functions no longer make me say ew! I'm immune. 

In fact nowadays I am proud when I check my daughters nappy and she has done a good one, because it tells me that I am doing a good job, she is fed well and functioning fine.

Number 6

I am brave, I can be stronger than I thought. For my daughter anything is possible! A spider on the wall? Well I better not let it get her.. Grab a glass and throw it out. I know it seems so trivial but BB I was petrified and would scream and run if I saw one. I like this change a lot and it applies on a bigger scale than the spider example above!

Number 7

Life is beautiful, wonderful, amazing but also now scarier than ever when it comes to worrying about your child.

Number 8

The moment when you and your baby just stare into each others eyes, enveloping your love for each other. Cherishing the moment fully is possibly the best feeling in the world!

I hope you enjoyed this post, these aren't the only things I have learnt since becoming a Mum. But they are what springs to mind most.

Please leave a comment if you related with any of the above and I'd love to read any additions.
