You know you're a mommy when...



1. You can size up how pregnant a woman is or how old an infant is to the week.

2. You're at postnatal yoga class, and when five babies start crying in the next room you don't have to look to tell whether one of them is yours.

3. And even when it isn't your baby crying, your breasts spout fountains.

4. Every time you see something wonderful - from a golden leaf to an airplane flying through the sky - the most pleasurable thing about it is showing it to your child.

5. Forget sex and romantice tips: You want advice on how to get more sleep.

6. You've developed the ability to talk on the phone, scan a dinner recipe, watch the news, and do the cha-cha with your baby, all at the same time.

7. You've developed the ability to change a diaper, feed your hungry child, and get yourself a drink of water, all without waking up.

8. You've memorized every item of clothing at BabyGap, but you have no clue what skirt lengths are doing these days.

9. Your favorite restaurant isn't the one with the best food or the most charming atmosphere, but the place that makes you feel welcome with the stroller.

10. You can't remember what life was like before the baby - and you don't even want to.
