...halfway through brushing your teeth you realize you're using your 2-year-old's toothbrush.
...you have never been more thankful for your parents.
...doing your hair and getting dressed in something besides sweats warrants a special occasion.
...drinking a glass of milk brings about a new emotion toward dairy cows: deep gratitude.
...an uninterrupted shower is your 10 minutes of sanity each day.
...sleep...I don't even know what to say...
...you can't post a blog without at least 14 spelling errors.
...normally you can change a diaper in about 10 seconds, but in the middle of the night, you can hardly see straight, so it takes a good 3 minutes.
...if you don't count nursing as something on your to-do list, you wouldn't have crossed off a thing on most days.
...you've logged about 5 miles in the last 3 weeks pacing the floor in your house trying to quiet those middle of the night cries.
...you genuinely wish you could spend a couple hours tidying up your house.
...you get excited when you think about what this new little one will be like in 2 months, 6 months, and a year.
...you wonder how your family will be different with this new personality in it.
...as soon as you see those first smiles, you feel awake, beautiful, and hopeful again.
