Whirligig Bug

Now that I'm a mom, I notice a few things...

Burp/Spit Up cloths are all over my house. I have 2 in the diaper bag, one that sits on the car seat, one next to my bed, a few in the living room, on the ottoman, or side table, and a few floating around in Rachel's room.

If I cannot locate a burp/spit up cloth, I simply use a dish towel, paper towel, napkin, baby wipe or my shirt sleeve.

I smell weird. I not only have my own smell, I smell like breast milk and nipple butter. I can't get the smell to go away. It's everywhere, on my clothes, in my hair, on my pillow case. Thankfully no one else seems to smell it.

I always know where a pacifier can be found. In her bedroom, in the kitchen just after being washed, in her car seat, in my nursing pillow pocket. I'm always on top of where the soothing plastic pieces are.

Strangers notice me and talk to me. No matter where I am or what I am doing, a baby carrier with a pink princess cover brings lots of attention to me. I don't enjoy it, especially on days I am trying to "fly under the radar" and zip to the store without showering or without getting out of my lounge pants, I am all of the sudden drawing all sorts of attention from people!
