You figure out how to go to the bathroom with an infant in your arms.
It's the little things that amaze me through this new adventure. What made you finally say "this is real and I'm a mom"

...(to add to Lyn's post)loving my stepchildren or my students!!!
...when you're the only one listening, you're the one making sure they get well when they're sick, you're the one leaving the cell phone on right next to your side of the bed until they are home safe, you're the one reading and signing all the papers that come home from school, you're the one laying down the law, you're the one...

...when you have the capacity to love every child that comes into your home. Whether for a season (foster child) or for a lifetime (adopted child), you love them something fierce, as if they came from your own womb.

So far Junior has not found a way to take off his diapers, but...
changing sheets becomes second nature in the middle of the night. (I've since taken care of the leaky diaper issue)

You know you're a mother when your most cathartic self performed therapy is casting maledictions on your children:
"May you have 5 children EXACTLY like YOU!"
"Take care, missy, little girls who sass their mothers live to see their best friends chalk dirty words on their tombstones."
"I hope you have identical twins three days apart!"
"If you don't put that lip away you'll trip on it!"
Things like that. >_>

You know you're a ranking mother when you sit at a baby shower of a first time mom and you get a chuckle out of the fact that she has NO idea that someday... her child will wake up from a nap, take off her own fully loaded diaper and fingerpaint with the contents EVERYWHERE. It's as inevitable as 3 am feedings.

oh my!
That was one of the only time my little one threw up and it got me and the bed at the 3 am feeding. The funny thing is that shocked me, where the accidents over the diapers and having to change everything doesn't even faze me now.

Oh yeah,
You know you're the mom the first time the big pool of vomit hits the floor (or bed) after midnight. For a short moment, you wonder who is going to clean it up. Then you know the answer.

...you end up cleaning up a large pool of vomit off the carpet on Christmas night, and you say, "well, honey, at least it wasn't on the furniture!"
Yes, this was my Christmas night!

I agree, Jen. Today I had to weigh the pros and cons, but the pros won. Yes! Please cut up all these magazines and decoupage those pictures!

I bought a 'baby sling'. LOOOOOVED it. I was able to do things with 2 hands and still hold the baby. It was my lifesaver. Hubby and I were talking about this last night. About how the first shower without children in the shower with you is the greatest feeling.
Good Luck.

You're a mother when the biggest concern is not how big a mess a project will make, but if it will be engrossing enough that you might get 20 minutes of relative peace.

When u learn how to 'properly' remove something from the nose of a child too small to use tweezers on! I would also add when you hear screaming while your in the bathroom and you don't open the door without askin if there is blood first. That's my big rule with the girls!
