My life hasn't altered much really. I never went out, never spent time on my hair, it used to drive me mad. I don't drink. She's now someone to talk to. Not quite so lonely anymore.

1) What have you given up since your LO was born?

Not alot really - getting dressed properly, if im not going out then its joggers and a t-shirt as I know im just gonna get thrown up on. Getting a full nights sleep. Drinking, hangover and a baby dont sound like a good idea to me.

2) What are you doing less of since your LO was born?

Going out, but when I was preggers I did less of that to, as I couldnt not be bothered, and didnt want to take bump to a club to get pushed around and have to pee every 5 mins. Sex, must have had time twice in the last 3 months. Poor OH (my hearts bleeding, it really is!!).

3) What are you doing more of?

Shopping, its all the free time not being at work. Walking, taking him out for fresh air, wandering around the park etc. Seeing my mum, she cant get enough of the lil man. Cleaning/tidying, was usually out from 7am til 7pm working and traveling two and from, but now I have loads of time to clean etc. Cooking more too.

Oh yes, I don't buy as many nice clothes for myself either. But it's great to be able to be a shopaholic for LO - as they DO need new clothes all the time. I am currently buying clothes for 12 - 18 months as she is fully kitted for the next few sizes...

I have gone completely bonkers though as I want LO's and my clothes to match - silly or what????
