It's Official...

I'm a mom. Well, technically I have been since 5:10 am on October 15th, 2011. But most recently, now I'm talking about the "mom" I said I would never be. You know, the kind who joins a mom's group and discusses strollers (prams here in the UK) over tea, who loses track of the last day in which she showered, who sings her daily routines to entertain "you know who" and herself and the one who wears socks with slippers all day(because it is just too darn hard to put socks AND shoes on while holding a crying baby, three pacifiers, a diaper bag, a stroller, two loads of laundry, an Ergo carrier and a bumbo simultaneously).  A year ago (pre-pregnancy) I would have been discussing the latest and greatest restaurants over a glass of wine, showering on a much-too regular basis, semi-ridiculing my friends for having actual toys in their house and wearing heels even when home alone.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being a mom. I just look forward to the day that I can leave the house without a complete stranger notifying me that I have dried spit-up cascading down my back. Or that a "big day out" included more than heading to Robert Dyas to purchase a food processor.  That being said, it dawned on me late last night that I'm actually a "mum" while living here in the UK. Sounds quite glamorous, don't you think? Noting this, maybe I'll start wearing heels around the house again...over my socks.
