Being a new mom is almost like a new title- it becomes your introduction till one day it dawns on you that you can’t say I am new mom anymore.

Some milestones that hit me:


When you stop counting baby’s age in weeks and move to months
When you forget how many weeks it is because you have stopped checking your apps
When you start winging it- from measuring bath temperature with thermometer to elbow, filling a recipe to getting creative
When your baby moves dress sizes: newborn to 3-6, 6-9… each bucket move is a new wave of

realization

When baby food and your food start looking and tasting more alike

When your baby doesn’t want to cuddle and wiggles around because the world is far too interesting
When your cozy home suddenly feels like a death trap and you have nightmares about baby proofing

When your changing bag moves from sterilized bottles and nursing cover to rice cakes, bibs, and more
When there is no good excuse for cake (no sleep sugar fix, feeding carb loading) 🙂
When people start asking you about the next one
