- your ipod playlist includes Baby Einstein animal friends playtime classics
- your jogging buddy gets to sleep while you do all of the work
- you're shocked to find yourself discussing sleep strategies with other men
- you can't remember the days when your wife's breast were something other than baby feed bags
- you get downgraded to the old station wagon for your daily commute while the wife and carseat crooner get the newer ride
- women swarm to you like bees to honey (even if it's only because you're holding a baby)
- you read more baby gadget instruction manuals than books these days
- you find yourself showing cell phone pictures of junior to everyone you meet
- you discover that that lump under your pillow is a dirty breast pad
- your tallying the days since you last had sex like ticks on the wall of a jail cell
- sleep is something you used to remember doing
- you swear that you always have unfastened snaps on baby's onesie because they make them with "extra" snaps
- you can change a diaper one-handed, in the dark, with one eye closed faster than a speeding bullet
- you find yourself hiding the postpartum granny panties while folding laundry in hopes that they'll forever disappear
