you know you're a mommy when...

1. You just can't imagine your baby can get any cuter. We continually melt over Sara's smiles and giggles, repeating 'you are just so cute!'
2. You have warm spit up running down your neck and arm, or pee on your hand, and you wipe the baby first.
3. You're sitting at a day spa having a hot stone pedicure while Nana babysits, and while it's heavenly to have time for yourself, you still can't wait to scoop up your daughter and feel her cheek against yours.
4. You have held your baby's knees up, diaper open, trying to help her squeeze out a painful poo. Although you never imagined this humbling and otherwise yucky scene, you just want to help her feel better.
5. The prospect of maternity leave ending already produces much anxiety and uncertainty over what's to come next Spring... so for now you plan fun summer outings, try to squeeze in creative time to paint and craft, and hope desperately that it will all just work out!
