How have you changed since DCs?

Since having my DD:
I can go for hours without peeing
Staying up til midnight is a really late one
My breasts are entirely functional
I can do everything one handed
The thought of going to a nightclub terrifies me
I worry constantly about DD
I feel guilty a lot but I can't pinpoint why exactly
I take about ten photos a day on average
I sway when I hear music
I no longer set an alarm clock
I can't stomach violence on tv/news/films
I find my love for her overwhelming
Three hours sleep is enough to get by.
I'm closer than ever to DP
I have no time for people who have no interest in my pfb!

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I thought I was more patient but I'm not

I'm about 8 kg heavier but my tits are much bigger so I'll take it

Other than that I probably say darling and sweetheart more than I used to and I'm more touchy feely than I was pre kids

I take life a lot more seriously
I live in the present much more
I consider waking at 8am to be a big lie in
I get upset over sad news stories around children and tend to dwell on them for days after
I can do more in a day than I thought possible pre dcs
I watch more cbeebies
I have no waist
My boobs are ruined
I am much happier Grin

My bottom enters a room about six seconds after my boobs do. Sad

On a plus note, I am more chilled out about life - I know now what's really important and what isn't so much.

I'm less lazy than I was pre-DD, I can get loads more done in spare time than I used, I'm so much happier than I've ever been in my life, 4hrs continuous sleep has me feeling like I can take on the world and I find the minutae of her achievements never bore me (e.g. was very happy when she was banging a metal eggcup on the door yesterday because she enjoyed it). And sometimes, when she's slept for a longer period, I want her to wake up so she can babble to me about her dreams (she's 8 months). I think I might be slightly obsessed :)
