a few things have changed since em was born, aside from the regular things like not sleeping, having giant veiny boobs, living on a 3 hour schedule and feeling the pressure of caring for a tiny human.
1 i cut up all of my food before consuming. i eat dinner pretty close to her mealtime so i end up trying to eat as quickly and efficiently as possible. i feel a little embarrassed but by that time i am also likely exposing a boob or attached to a pump. what's bite sized food?
2 i sometimes have to carry her with one arm and end up holding her like women do in third world countries, sort of slung on the hip but supporting her head at the same time. it's very national geographic but not in a good way.
3 i have always loved maria, who cleans our house, but love her with elevendy billion times the passion and attachment than i did before. i try to keep her here longer with snacks and baby tricks (weird faces em makes when she is gassy).
4 i have become the girl who wears workout clothes but does not work out. this has become a necessity as i don't fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes yet, but it's still embarrassing. i don't remember people asking me if i had just worked out before when wearing workout gear. maybe the difference is that now i look like i need to work out so people ask in hopeful optimism. i have never been more jealous of buttons and zippers.
