20 WAYS LIFE CHANGES AFTER YOUR 20's

The 30's pre-baby

 

1. You have fewer and better friends.

 

2. You can give advice based on your "experience."

 

3. You don't give a f*** about what people say.

 

4. You won't party as hard as you did before.

 

5. And you'll realize that staying at home doesn't make you a "loser."

 

6. You're so over drama.

 

7. You dress better.

 

8. You've begun to have a serious love for wine.

 

9. You learn that some things and/or  people can't be changed, and you have to accept that.

 

10. Nostalgia also becomes an important part of your life...

The 30's post-baby 

1. See the Big Picture

You become much more patient. Not just with day-to day-things, but with your future. Before kids, we would see something we wanted to buy, and we had to have it. Now, we're learning the joys of taking our time, saving up, and budgeting for the really important things in life, like college funds and 401(k)s. Makes you find the joy and see that all the material things that run the lives of most people really mean nothing at all.

 

2.  Babies Makes Your Day

Seeing those little faces light up when I walk in the door. At that exact moment I realize that I must be doing something right. You finally stop to smell the roses, because your baby is in your arms.

  

3. Priorities change

 I would much rather watch Saturday morning cartoons snuggled on the couch with my kids

 

4.  New Perspective

You see the world in a different way. It's much scarier and more dangerous now, yet at the same time you get to see things through the eyes of an innocent child, with wonder and amazement.

 

5. Healthy living becomes a lifestyle

I started healthier eating habits, to lead by example. Exercise is as important as other activities.

 

6. You learn to better love your body

I just feel like being a mom gives you the confidence to not care so much what other people think.

 

7. You realize that everything is temporary

 

8. Life is too short to worry about things that are not worth it

 

9. Your spouse becomes your hero

I've relied on my husband more than ever, from the moment I announced our pregnancy, through pregnancy, delivery which he helped me every step of they way, and he yelled out the gender of the babies when they were born. And those first few days home with your new baby. Watching the man you love shift into a new role as a daddy. It has been a wonderful journey, especially when he holds baby for the first time. Priceless! I feel so blessed!

 

10. Everyday is a surprise
