before I had kids

1.  I didn't imagine myself being the type of mom to wear a robe and slippers when I dropped my kids off at school.  (In my own defense, they have to be there at 7:40 and I don't actually have to get out of the car so what's the point?) 

2.  I didn't take baths with random toys floating around me...heck, I actually took baths regularly back then!

3.  I figured I would give natural childbirth a try.
  
4.  I didn't know I would have such mad, crazy love for my kids that it would give me a stomach ache if I really thought about it.
