I've learned that I have the best miracle of all.
That time flies by & to capture every moment you can.
That my life has changed so much & I love every minute of it.
I've learned I don't want to go out and party, I want to stay at home with my kids.
I've learned people change.
I've learned how to truly love.

Number 11 is the one that I've had to learn how to live with. That being a mommy means that Me time is something worth sacrificing in order for my son to have "mommy and me" time. This is a good list.

Ps-I agree totally about the baby smell thing;)

True true... "Mommy and me" time is very important.:)
