motherhood changes

i have no doubt that any mother to read this will agree that motherhood changes everything. i also will say that even though becoming a mother has been the best change i could have made in my life, it has affected so many areas i may not have expected before hand.

motherhood changes...

My sleeping habits changed... well, what sleep. My eating habits changed... hello, mac&cheese. Even my voice changed... I find myself sounding more like my mother!
