3 NOs turn into the 3 Yes's

All soon to be mommies have many sleepless nights, staying up picturing in their heads how they are going to be the perfect mother. What they will DO and what they will definitely NOT DO. How they hope their child will be athletic, or have the perfect hair, or love playing outside. Whatever the mommies imagine it all goes out the window when they give birth to their beautiful baby.
I was really open to whatever my baby will want to do in life, sports or a cook it really didn’t matter to me. Though there were 3 things that I knew I wasn’t going to do or allow while my child was a baby.

1. No pacifiers
2. No running around in diapers
3. No sleeping in the bed

Simple enough right? I kind of have a theory now that the things you say NO to before your child has been born will come back a million times stronger. There are three things that I LIVE BY now…

1. Pacifier aka “binky” at all times, I have a million of them, ten in the crib, five in the diaper bag, and seven in the car. I can’t shove them into Kales mouth fast enough. Something that I was so strong about, and now I can’t remember life without these little plastic miracles! True life savers.
2. I never understood why mothers let their baby hang out in diapers. I mean after all for about 9 months I folded and refolded all the cute baby clothes that I had acquired. I couldn’t wait to dress Kale, so why would I ever let him hangout in white pampers when he can be wearing Gap jeans, and a matching t-shirt and bib. Let me tell you what I have discovered, those mommies who let their babies hang out in diapers probably had babies like Kale…throwing up EVERYWHERE all day long. And when Kale has thrown up on his third outfit of the day and I have yet to get to the laundry…he’s hanging out in the diaper!
3. This third point is really cut and dry. Haven’t slept in five months…so the baby sleeps with me in the bed. Take it or leave it, but this has become a way of life…or at least until Josh has returned from deployment.

So my basic point to the prego mommies out there, stop thinking about what will be and get some sleep!!!
