You know you've become a mother when...

1. Your child is not even two weeks old and you have already told off your sixteen year old neighbor for speeding in your cul-de-sac and playing his rap music too loud.
2. Your baby's umbilical cord falls off and your husband has to talk you out of saving it.
3. You find yourself driving under the speed limit while being fully prepared to attack any vehicle that dares to put your safety at risk.
4. You buy your antibacterial soap in bulk at Costco and when visitors come to meet your new babe you greet them at the door with, "please go wash your hands."
5. You start referring to your man as "Daddy" even though you swore that would never happen.
6. You tear up when your infant outgrows his first set of newborn clothes.
7. You come up with the oddest love names that make perfect sense to you.. such as..Mink Mink (mine) and Googi(Jay's).
8. You can text your sister, breastfeed, check your email, and eat your breakfast all at the same time.
9. You have completely forgotten every ache and pain that occurred with pregnancy and childbirth because every ounce of it was sooo stinkin' worth it.
10. You look into his eyes and you are completely overwhelmed with emotion as you realize... I. am. your. mother.
