So here goes! All speaking from my own personal experience.
You might be a momma if:
If you have thrown an outfit in to the church bathroom trash can because you changed a blowout diaper, only to realize that you hadn't packed a change of clothes in the diaper bag.
If after you changed the blowout diaper you explained to the lady asking if you needed help that you were, "FINE!" and then proceeded to bag the trash in the church bathroom because you realized you were in the wrong bathroom to begin with!
If you have used half and half instead of milk in your child's cereal because you refused to go to the grocery store with newborn twins.
If you have cleaned your child's pacifier by placing it in your mouth! (I validate it by telling myself that I am taking the germs off and that I will get sick instead!) Horrible, but you know you've done it too!
If you have prayed for your child to fall back asleep so you don't have to get up in the middle of the night.
If when you changed your baby in the morning you realized that at the 2am feeding you had put two diapers on your newborn baby. I guess she was double leak-proof! :)
If you have man-handled another 3 year old boy who was trying to drown your child in the baby pool.
If you have said that you aren't going to reward your child with food only to be driving through Braum's drive through after every doctor's appointment that involves a needle!
If you made a doctor's appointment because you thought your two-year old was sick, but secretly asked the nurse practitioner if she thought your daughter could be depressed because you took her sassy away. (You should have seen the look on her face, like are you serious? We just took a co-pay for this?) But, no she actually had strep throat.
If you have had to cancel a date night with friends because your baby is constipated. Sad, but nothing is worse than having a stopped up baby. Luckily we have found FIBER gummies!!! Thank goodness!
If you have let your sick baby throw up all over you, instead of holding her away and causing her to be even more traumatized. P.S. Never give Strawberry Milk to a child with fever....wait never give them milk period when they have fever. But instead, have a case of PediaLite on hand in the pantry for such an event.
If you have looked at your once cute precious belly button and thought at least I have a reason it is now deformed! (I'm working on restoring it to it's original state, but fear it may never happen) Thank you Shakeology I am now back to my pre-preggo weight! Now to lose the dreadful twin-skin and 10 lbs I put on when I knew I was gonna try to get pregnant again.
Finally,
You might be a momma if when you look at your child, you realize God has given you a gift that compares to no other, you pray first for them and their happiness, and you hope beyond all hope they will be healthy and safe for rest of their lives.
Troy sent me this today (I am unsure of who the author is)
"Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well. She's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow. She is Christmas morning. Your Mother lives inside your laughter. She's crystallized in every teardrop. A mother shows every emotion .......... happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow... and all the while, hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life. She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love; your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space...not even death!"
Isn't that the truth!
Now to go tend to my rudey-moody two-year old! She makes the twins seem easy!!!
