Everyone said, “once you have a kid, your life will never be the same,” or some variation thereof. Of course they’re right. However, it’s an understatement if not a misnomer. Yes, my life is different, and I do feel different. However more accurately, I feel as if I’m in an alternate version of my previous reality.
I still live in the same place, but the furniture is arranged quite differently. I still sleep, but in a different bed, at different times, for different periods of times. I still eat, but I eat smaller quantities, and simpler meals, within shorter timeframes. I also drink much more water than I used to. I still wear earplugs, expect in one ear now so I can hear the baby. I also watch much, much less television than I did, which wasn’t much in the first place.
I’ve been fortunately that I have enough of life behind me that I feel I’ve arrived right on time to parenthood. And oh…between you
and me, although I sleep less, I sleep better.
