You know you're a Mum..

When you have been in your pyjama’s for three days running, have greasy hair, unshaven legs but your baby has been bathed every day and is in clean clothes.

When every outfit has a splash of food, dribble or baby sick on it – honestly no outfit is completely without it.

When people no longer use your name but refer to you as ‘Joshua’s Mummy’ or just ‘Mummy’

When you hear your baby snore you think it’s cute, but when you other half snores you want to punch them in the face

When you reach out to catch baby sick in your hand – I did this when we were at mother and baby group, it was pure instinct and a lady who works there actually said ‘Only a Mum would do that.’

When you wipe snot with your hand because you don’t have any tissues to hand.

When you can do everything one handed and continue to do it one handed even when you aren’t holding your baby because you are so used to it.

When every cup of tea you drink is cold – well near enough every one

When you are not embarrassed at singing some ridiculous song such as ‘five little speckled frogs’ loudly in the supermarket, doctors etc

When you know your baby is awake even when they haven’t made a sound

When all you do is talk about your baby

When you get excited and have a conversation with your husband about the contents of your baby nappies – yes really!

When you have toys/dummies in all your coat pockets – I went on my works Christmas party, all dressed up with a rattle in my pocket!

When you know longer have a handbag, but a giant changing bag with everything you can possible think of in it.

When having a lie in is now getting to sleep till 9am

When you refer to your husband as ‘Daddy’ more often than not

I could go on and on... but I think I will stop now before I bore you all to death!
