Something I admit openly is that I'm a selfish person. I mean come on, I'm the youngest of 7 kids and I was spoiled. I am a friend and I'm considerate and I love my husband, but can I honestly say I'm selfless. No. I'm half and half.
One thing I hear about having a new baby is that I will become completely selfless. That everything in my life will revolve around my baby, everything I do, say, buy, make plans for, etc will all be with the baby first in mind. Juan and I had a conversation, me turning completely selfless? We both agreed that maybe that change wouldn't occur in me.
Then today I made this statement to Juan:
"You know what is proof that I am becoming selfless?
I am still using this purse."
That's right. I've had the same purse since August. That is 6 months people! 6 months for a purse fanatic is a long time. It will soon be changed over to a purse/diaper bag, which has a story of its own.
But really, if that isn't selfless, what is?

That is great - cracks me up. You go on with your selfless self. :)
AMAZING!!! :)
I can't handle you! You are so funny!!
i love it! seriously though, after having owen i realized my life really revolved around me (obviously, but you know what i mean). suddenly i had to do what he needed and wanted me to do. i wasn't used to it. it's definitely a change, but a good change.
Ha! Well, good for you!
I don't think of you as selfish. But way to go!
I was actually really surprised when I came out to visit for Christmas and you had that same purse. I am so proud.
Hahaha! Brian and I have similar conversations. He'll walk around the house singing, "It's all about Amanda." I think the youngest child thing has a lot to do with it... But, I don't think you're selfish. And that purse still looks fabulous. Also, being sick and uncomfortable with the pregnancy is total proof of unselfishness. Take that Juan. jk!:)
enjoy the purse while you can. i can't believe you are down to single digit weeks; how exciting!!!
Enjoy your last weeks of being spoiled! The baby will start to get all of the attention. If you show up without her everyone will say "Where's Amelia?" You will definitely stop shopping for you and mostly for her. But it is so worth it! Luckily being selfless is very rewarding.
