You know you've arrived when...

[bklove]

I thought i'd post this out here for kicks. You know you've arrived to parentville when:

1. There's dried breast milk on your cell phone...and you are yet to find the time to clean it
2. Its hard to shower and brush your teeth in the same day lol

*Keep the list going ladies! I'll try to make one big running list, but we'll see between sleep and GIANT hugs to you all.

3. You have no time to keep a running list, lol.

 

[OmarsMum]

1. When u go shopping for ur self & come back with bags with cute outfits for ur LO instead
2. U spend hrs on BnB & yet u dont have time to pay ur bills on line
3. U'r soo excited about cooking as ur LO is going to try it, & food with no salt tastes so good
4. When u use baby talk all the time even with ur OH
5. When u spend a romantic night with ur hubby, all what u talk about is how cute ur LO is

1) You have spit up on your shoulder but dont notice til you bump into a friend at tesco and they tell you.
2) The highlight of your day is your LO doing a poo (baby was very grumpy when a bit constipated the other day)
3) For the first time in your life, you find yourself picking someone elses nose (he had some boogers hanging out this morning.. hah)

 

[Helabela]

you dont know whats going on in the world as the news is never on anymore yet your an expert at whos who on 'in the night garden'!!!

 

[PepsiChic]

1. when your facebook statuses are all about LO
2. when you spend all day in pj's
3. when you brush your hair with your fingers

 

[RainbowDrop_x]

*When you wake up at 6.30 but LO is now actually sleeping through till 8 Just can't shake that "normal" wake up call
*When the only "gossip" you have is that LO reached another milestone
*When you were the same outfit for nearly a week yet LO has a new outfit everyday..All cute & co-ordinating of course

 

[angel2010]

1. When you can't even enjoy a night out because all you want to do is get back to LO.
2. When you have only trimmed your lady bits twice in 12 weeks because you can't find the time (yet find the time to come on BnB).
3. When you have only shaved your legs a few more times than you trimmed your lady bits because you can't find the time and it is SUMMER!
4. "1. There's dried breast milk on your cell phone...and you are yet to find the time to clean it"..... There is dried spit up on your cell phone and you haven't found time to clean it.

- When you are standing in the queue at the bank and it becomes apparent that you either have baby poo or pureed carrot under your fingernails!!

-The dog has a new role in the home as chief floor cleaner!

- You spend an hour rearranging all the cute baby clothes and tidying the nursery, yet all your clothes are in a pile on your bedroom floor...

- The first thing you do when baby is asleep is log onto BnB so you can think and talk babies just a little bit more!

(This is just from today!!)

 

[Seity]

When your baby spits up on your clothes and you wipe it off and go to work without changing because it'll dry soon enough
When you go to sleep at 10 pm and it's hours earlier than you used to go to bed

 

[bky]

When you put the same shirt on you wore yesterday (because you aren't going anywhere today either) and realize there's baby poo on it.

You know you've arrived to parentville when:

You dont care about anything else in life except LO!

I dont care about my looks, job, bills, money, news etc! whereas before I did!

oh, and todays..

if it doesnt SMELL dirty, it isnt (my clothes) its unusual for me to go out without somesort of sick/milk/dinner/poop/spill down me lol

 

[Lara310809]

When you have sick down your clothes and you don't care. Or if you're going out, you just go over it with a wet wipe and forget all about it.

When you constantly have dribble on your arm

When your usual handbag contents are replaced by bottles, nappies and a change of clothes

When you have spare cash, you go clothes shopping... for the baby

Love all of these!!

 

[hannahR]

Think everyone has covered what i was going to say! ove this thread though! xx

 

[Susie28]

Some of these are soooo true

Great thread!

 

[ginab]

1) When you get pissed off with shops/restaurants that dont accomodate prams or babies
2) your roots are longer than your natural colour hair & your contemplating cutting it or dying it all one colour
3) your sexual apetite is non existant

 

[NG09]

When you race upstairs to bed as soon as LO has had his last bottle to get a few hours kip before the night feeds begin.

When the only chance you have of getting a shower is at the mercy of a 3 week old baby!

 

[NuKe]

getting yourself ready takes less than 5 minutes but getting lo dressed/ready/bag packed etc takes the most of an hour!

getting "dressed up" = a clean top and brushed hair

the house is in desperate need of a facelift/lick of paint but lo's room is decorated to perfection!

sleeping til 9am is a luxury!

you spend more money on Dettol each month than you do on anything for yourself!

that spare tenner goes on another new toy!
