"Everyday I wake up and my entire existence is consumed by him. My body moves for him, my mind thinks of him, my heart loves him. The air I breathe is his air. It's not a conscious thing that happens. It's in your fingers, your toes. The blood that courses through your veins.
"It's within you. You'd do anything for them. And you do exactly that, every day.
"Nothing else really matters anymore. And I don't mean that in the way that you think. I don't mean you lose yourself entirely to them. I just mean that you really understand what is and isn't important to you. What you are happy to spend your time on because your hours, minutes and seconds have become so precious.
"Time is your most valuable asset now. And everyday you only have so much of it, so of course you're not going to spend it fretting over a bad hair day and a shirt with a few stains on it."

"Your messy house is not your priority and the people who love you won't ever care if they have to step over a toy to get to you. Having a baby changes your life," Tunchy continued.
"No, you don't become a different person. You just spend your time being the person who's most important to your family.
