5. The sacrifices you thought you made to have a child no longer seem like sacrifices.

6. You respect your body … finally. (Hooray for baby-making!)

7. You have stronger opinions and are stronger willed.

8. You find that your baby’s pain feels much worse than your own.

9. You believe once again in the things you believed in as a child.

10. You lose touch with the people in your life that you should have banished years ago.

11. Your heart breaks much more easily.

12. Every day is a surprise.
