Hi fellow Mylotters!
I recently gave birth last March and I can say I love being a new parent despite of the lack of sleep. I can say I enjoyed it so much now because even my baby's smile is so rewarding, my sleepiness gone for a moment. What have you discovered about being a parent? Mine is that I no longer feel that I think of my wants and needs anymore. All I think about are "baby's gonna need this, baby's gonna need that," you know, every time I window-shop and I see a bag or shoe that I like, I go "I'll buy those next time because baby's going to need this, etc, etc." Also, the internet is now a handy tool for researching how to take care of a baby and I've learned a lot of things from it.
There are a many other countless things I've learned along the way and I want to hear about yours. What are those?

Motherhood is a divine blessing,suddenly your vision to look at the world changes.baby is pure joy and adds a new meaning to your life.Even i am a first time mother and can understand your feeling in a better manner friend.If your country provide the privilege of first time mother group ,i'll suggest you to join that because its very helpful and will be a learning experience for you .

As a mom, my point of view in life change massively! I learned to be more focused, more patient and I tend to persevere more in everything I do. Before I was an easy go lucky girl, but now that I'm a mom, my life seems to have a direction. I tend to have goals before but.. they are JUST goal and not really trying that hard to achieve it but right now its different.
As for my daily routine... I love reading books I would stay all night and sleep all day when I was still single but right now I don't think it would still work. I read mostly during my free time and with all the stuff that I mother could be busy with my priority is always my child. ^___^
