**How has becoming a parent changed your life?**

Parenting is a life changing event, I doubt there will be anyone
that will argue with that. But each of us is different so
different things (emotionally as well as physically) change.
So how has becoming a Mummy or Daddy changed your life?

Now when people say 'being a parent changes your life' and you
are pregnant..you just kind of say "yeah yeah I know"...then it
happens..and wow!
Having my daughter 4months ago..everything has changed.
I used to be quite a shy person, who struggled to go out and
about on my own and who struggled to meet new people..but now..
I talk to everyone, go to all these new places and I'm out all
of the time, all because of her, because I don't want her to
grow up being shy and unsociable!
I wouldn't leave the house without makeup or my hair done..now I
have a shower and get dressed in 10minutes and I leave the house
covered in dribble and/or sick and I care more about what my
daughter is wearing and that she is looking nice.
When you're ill and you don't have a baby..you just sit around
feeling sorry for yourself, but with a baby you just get up and
carry on. Same when you've had no sleep(of which I don't get a
lot).
Everything is about my daughter. I don't want to go out without
her, when I go shopping I only look for things for her, I work
my schedule around her, everything I do is for her. And you
could say that when you become a mum you 'lose yourself' because
its all about your baby and not you..but truthfully..I've found
myself, I feel more like me than ever before. I've found my
reason in life..the reason I was put on this earth...and it
happened at 23.32 on 26th January 2013. :)

I think it would be lovely to have a quote section on the forum
and if Charlotte agrees, I think this would make a lovely start
for it

My life changed when I had my daughter but not as dramatically
as I thought it would (the first 6 weeks were definitely a shock
though). My focus, is of course, on her but I am also learning
how to balance my life and her needs separately and ensuring
that we are both happy. I have also learned so much about
children and babies that I never knew before and it is amazing
to be able to change my focus from work and university to
learning who my daughter is, the different types of solid foods
that she can eat and when, different parenting techniques etc.

Today I came to the conclusion that the sound of my son's
laughter is the best sound in the world.
I think that sums up how my life has changed :D

I still can't believe that my husband and I have created our
wonderful little boy. I'm currently typing this as he naps in
my arms, watching him smile in his sleep. I love his big grin
in the mornings as we get him from his cot, and even love his
little sad face when he cries.
It's also great to now have friends in Hinckley, whom I can turn
to for advice or just a coffee. My husband and I knew very few
people about a year ago and now it's absolutely fabulous to be
able attend groups that not only stimulate and help Joel
develop, but also it's great for me/us to get out of the house
and meet other mummies and daddies.
Being a parent, it's just fab ;D

Im glad that moments of "i can't believe Im a mum" are not just
in my head... certainly makes you appreciate your own parents
more...
