You know you've officially become a parent when...


1. Arriving "On Time" has a whole new meaning. If you arrive plus or minus one hour from when you were supposed to be someplace, that is considered "On Time".
2. You can no longer walk through your living room in the dark because you know you will trip over toys.
3. You realize that your reflexes and coordination aren't nearly as sharp at 3 AM.
4. Poop conversation is no longer limited to jokes, in fact poop seems intertwined in all conversation.
5. Packing for a weekend no longer consists of one bag, it consists of one adult bag, a swing, a stroller, two diaper bags, another swing, another stroller, a baby bag with approximately 18 outfits, feeding supplies, a car seat and if you remember one ten pound bundle of joy.
6. Dinner used to be a relaxing time for conversation, now it turns into an all out race to the finish where with every bite you glance over at your child knowing that at any moment all hell could break loose.
7. A spit-up stain on you shirt is considered a badge of honor or wound from a great battle.
8. All of a sudden, pig latin may not be the most ridiculous language you speak.
9. Instead of constantly asking where is the TV controller or the portable phone, you're constantly serching for new treasure; a pacifier.
10. You no longer need an alarm clock, you are always up on time in the morning.
11. The highlight of your Saturday night is bath time.
