Giggles and Coos From You!
50 Ways to Know You've Adjusted to Life with Baby
By I.J. Schecter
11. You're able to complete an entire visit to the bathroom without feeling on edge the entire time.
12. In a spare moment, you find yourself thinking about considering whether to maybe ponder the possibility of perhaps resuming your exercise regimen.
13. You take a bath.
14. You glance in the mirror to find your eyes are more than one-eighth open.
15. You find yourself able to perform simple arithmetic and operate small appliances without having to concentrate intensely.
16. You and your partner are able to get through the movie you rented from the video store in only four installments over two evenings. You can even remember what it was about, mostly.
17. When someone asks you the baby's name, you get it right on the first try.
18. You're able to enjoy your bowl of cereal properly, taking a full 30 seconds to down it.
19. The e-mails you send are down to, on average, only a handful of spelling errors, and some of them are even semi-coherent.
20. The alleged out-of-the-house sightings of you over the past few weeks are actually legitimate.
21. When you start humming "Piano Man" to yourself, you get all the way to the second verse before slipping into "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."
22. You can walk 10 feet without accidentally kicking a pacifier, stepping on a rattle or knocking over a stack of diapers.
23. You and your partner have dinner plans – at a restaurant. True, they're for six months in the future, but they're still plans.
