You know you're a mom of 2 when...

1) You know you have baby poop on your pants and it takes you a couple of hours to change them.
2) With baby number two you aren't *too* concerned when breakfast is smeared all over her shirt...all day long
3) Make up is applied only for a date.
4) Taking a shower becomes a luxury and shaving your legs in peace happens only on your birthday and Mother's Day.
5) Suckers for breakfast are no longer the end of the world.
6) A queen size bed feels like a twin with 4 people in it.
7) Deciphering between real cries and fake cries has become a real talent.
8) You wish you were pregnant again only to have clear skin.
9) Multi-tasking takes on a new meaning as you can do *just about* anything while nursing.
10) An extra 15 minutes of sleep is worth allowing the oldest to go to school with daddy done hair (and no bow).
11) Doing the laundry means cycling it through the washer and dryer, simply to ensure that clean underwear can be fished from a bucket (though usually from the bottom of said bucket)
12) Having a good day means you didn't have to put yourself in timeout a single time.
13) You have memorized the lines to every Barbie movie.
14) It doesn't hurt your feelings when the oldest says "my tummy is getting bigger like yours mom!"
15) You are the recipient of endless hugs, giggles, kisses, smiles, snuggles, laughs and I LOVE YOUs from two perfect angels.
