It has been a little over four months in my new job as Mommy, CEO of Carly. I love my job and no matter how hard it may seem at times, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.There are a few things people neglected to tell me about what happens when you become a mom, I would however do it all again in a second for Carly.
There are many things I've learned over the past four and a half months:
- Do know you may go bald. There is nothing you can do about this. You can purchase a wig or wear many hats. You can attempt use shampoo with nioxin and make sure you take a multi-vitamin.
- You will want to purchase some As Seen on TV- Tag Away.
- Veins- You will have many more in all kinds of places.
- You will not lose weight like the movie stars do within three weeks unless you can work out all day long while someone else watches your baby.
- Things rotate and we are not talking about your tires.
- Your face may start to go through puberty again.
- The saying...."Nap when baby naps"....What if baby doesn't nap? Hello bags under thy eyes.
- Sometimes breastfed babies don't like bottles.
- Buy lots of Spray and Wash. Keep it in the nursery.
- There is no getting by Blow Outs.
- People are going to give you advice. It will sometimes annoy you. Bite your tongue. Most mean well. Only you know your child best. Do what you think is right.
I love my job and the new life Carly has given me. She has changed me in so many ways. Life is not about me. It is all about her-now and forever and always will be.
Was there anything I missed? Do share what they didn't tell you.
