Mommy Modification

When I became pregnant, I knew everything would change: My life and my body.
I read a lot and talked to people who wanted to prepare me.

In the end:
I knew I would get bigger because of the growing baby inside of me and I knew that might cause me to get stretchmarks.
I knew pregnancy in general can leave you behind with wider hips and even a total different body shape.
I knew breastfeeding could be a hard job since it is a skill that needs to be learned.
I knew I had to expect sleepless nights from teething or just because..
Well, there are so many more things I could list here...

So now, 10 months later, I look at those things and hey, I guess I can't complain.
I did not get any stretchmarks.
I lost all the baby weight and 10 pounds more and I easily fit in my pre-pregnancy clothes.
Breastfeeding came to us naturally. It worked from day 1.
I have learned to run on 3 hour of broken up sleep if needed and still be able to function at work the next day.

There are couple of things that are still on my mind though.

What I am wondering is why people did not tell me about things like mommy brain.
I now have to write everything down or I will forget it. And I mean: Everything.
I guess, they probably forgot it. Lol

And what I am truly not understanding is why nature did not give us moms a third arm.
I mean since I had Ace I am able to multi-task somewhat. ME! I can now breastfeed, surf the internet and have a conversation at the same time. Or feed the baby, clean and talk. Nature enhanced me with a new skill I never had before. Why not throwing in a third arm that would grow during the pregnancy and complement that? Heaven knows, I could use it!
