How has being a parent changed you?

For me- I was always a happy person- but now I am JOYOUS!! I really don't sweat the small stuff (only when it comes to Jordana's daycare- then I sweat the teeny tiney stuff ) I just look at a picture of my little girl and I just want to scream and sing. It just showed me what is truly important in life- family.

Oh god, let me count the ways! Definitely more laid back when it comes to other things (i.e. problems with work, family, friends) because I know at the end of the day, the most important thing is my immediate family. But, at the same time, I became OCD about being clean. I never cared before but now I HAVE to have a clean house. It's scary almost. Last, I'm amazed at myself - I'm amazed that I, unlike my mother, DO have maternal instincts, and am proud of my mothering skills, and I'm amazed at how strong I really am, dealing with a child like Alex

I am joyous too but I still sweat the small stuff but in terms like Liam's health and safety. I'm more diligent about cleaning and organizing and routine and scheduling too. And MORE TIRED!
