" Everyone tells you about the sleepless nights and the infinite joy that come with having a baby. Here are four lifestyle changes that I wish someone had told be about! Your Laundry Will Never, Ever Be Done Even if I spend a full weekend washing, drying, and folding, we always inexplicably have a hamper full of dirty dish towels or food-encrusted baby clothes. But You&amp;#039;ll Have Fewer &amp;quot;Delicates&amp;quot; I used to air-dry all (all!) of my underwear. If I calculated the amount of time I spent hanging damp underwear in my 20s, I&amp;#039;d probably start smacking myself in the head. I still take the time to air-dry bras and workout tops, but my underwear all goes in the dryer now. And it doesn&amp;#039;t seem any worse for the wear. Your Beauty Routine Will Suffer\u2014Big Time Unless I have nighttime plans, I rarely bother to put on makeup during the day now. (Coming from a girl who never, ever left the house without eyeliner and mascara, this is a big deal!) Also, if my nighttime plans go later than expected, I&amp;#039;ve been known to commit the ultimate beauty sin: falling asleep with an unwashed face. Yes, my pores have suffered. You&amp;#039;ll Have Takeout for Dinner WAY More Yes, parents expect this in the beginning, but Emmett sleeps 12 hours a night now and we&amp;#039;re still eating takeout for dinner more often than not. I&amp;#039;ve found it impossible to cook and work and keep him entertained. Plus, even if I wanted to get a home-cooked dinner on the table, it&amp;#039;s damn near impossible to navigate a Brooklyn grocery store with dinner ingredients and a baby stroller. How has having a baby unexpectedly changed your life? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
