I came across this article on the Baby Center website the other day.  The article discusses how your outlook on life, your perspective on yourself and the world, and many other things will change when your baby arrives.  There are 30 things listed, 15 from the author/mom and 15 from baby center readers/moms.  It is amazing to think about all the wonderful ways your life will change when your baby arrives.

Here are a few of the things that the author noted will change when you little one finally arrives.

• You will finally stop to smell the roses because your baby is now safe in your arms.
• Where you once believed you were fearless you will quickly discover that you are afraid.
• The sacrifices you thought you made to have a baby no longer seem like sacrifices.
• You respect your body.
• You find a new respect and love for your parents.
• You find that your baby’s pain feels much worse than your own.
• You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.
• You lose touch with the people in your life that you should have banished years ago.
• Your heart breaks much more easily.
• You think of someone else almost every second of the day.
• Every day is a surprise.
• Bodily functions are no longer repulsive.
• You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
• You become a morning person.
• Your love becomes limitless.

What things did you notice changing in your outlook and perspective when your baby arrived?  Was it what you expected or much more (or less) than you expected?
