You Might Have Just Given Birth If...

…you still look like you are pregnant.

…you look like you just leaked breastmilk through your shirt. Because you did.

…there are itty bitty wet diapers, all wrapped up in itty bitty bundles, laying on the floor by your bed. And they don’t bother you at all.

…you tried so hard to keep your new baby’s name a secret while you were pregnant, that now that you are allowed to say it, it gets stuck on your lips…or another of your children’s names comes out.

…you are very, very tired. Very.

…even though you are very, very tired, you also have more energy than you did when you were pregnant. Which is weird.

…you’re so glad someone came up with the notion of “pelvic rest” so that you don’t have to be the bad guy.

…you hear soft grunting while typing this.

…if you were to chart your emotional state over the past number of days, the resulting graph would resemble the Killer Snake rollercoaster at Six Flags.

…your heart is bursting with an amazing, new love you can’t believe you ever lived without.

…you’re finally starting to fit back into your maternity clothes again.

…you have forgotten to eat because you were too busy stroking soft baby fluff on top of a sweet smelling little head.

…there are miniature socks in your laundry that don’t even fit the tiny newborn feet they belong to yet.

…when you walk by people in the store as you’re carrying your baby in a wrap, 37 people whisper “Oh, look! A tiny baby!” during your 14 minute trip.

…the question of whether or not it would be acceptable to store homemade pesto in breastmilk storage bags actually crosses your mind.

…a sitz bath sounds really good.

…people ask, “How old?” without using a pronoun, because it’s hard to tell if your adorably squishy baby is a boy or a girl.

…laughing hurts. Coughing hurts.

…you are still enjoying the Superwoman complex that giving birth gave you. And rightly so.

…your can see your ankle bones better every day.

…the person you just gave birth to has only been awake for a total of 27 minutes today.

…you bought the value-sized tube of Lanolin. And you’re not afraid to use it.

…you are beaming with pride at having been able to collaborate with God in the creation of another human being, an achievement you will long consider one of your crowning moments.

I know that my baby is already a month old so I'm a little late with this, but I got it sent to me and I found it kind of funny. I thought I would go ahead and share it. For those of you that have children maybe you will remember back to that time and laugh. For those of you that have not, well hopefully you will get a little chuckle out of it as well :)
