I read this article on BabyCenter.com today and it really made me laugh, this is a list of things that change once you have a baby, some are from the site and some are from readers:
1. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.
2. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.
3. You respect your body ... finally.
4. You respect your parents and love them in a new way.
5. You find that your baby's pain feels much worse than your own.
6. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.
7. You lose touch with the people in your life whom you should have banished years ago.
8. Your heart breaks much more easily.
9. You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.
10. Every day is a surprise.
11. Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)
12. You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
13. Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.
14. You finally realize that true joy doesn't come from material wealth.
15. You now know where the sun comes from.
16. You'd rather buy a plastic tricycle than those shoes that you've been dying to have.
