Does pregnancy really change people?

So I have heard through and around the grapevine that I've changed...normally this would upset me a tad, but it doesn't..I mean no s*** my whole life has changed, how would I possibly stay the same?
For those of you who know us (I am not saying just me, cause my husband has of course changed as well) you know that we are a pretty layed back, go with the flow kinda couple. I personally hate confrontation and stress. If you burn your bridge with me, its very hard to build it back. T.j. is Mr. nice guy, he is every ones friend..and he does things for people, even when these people haven't lifted a finger for him in years..and that's what I truly love about him. He is dependable...and will pretty much drop anything to help pretty much anyone.
So apart from priorities my personality has changed, not ALL of it..I'm not saying that ALL of myself has changed..I didn't become a mean, cranky, monster..But what I have noticed is that I care alot less about what other people think, I stand up for myself and speak my mind alot more often, and I'm a stronger person in general..and honestly its been great. If you want to be my friend you can call me, you can write me, I'm not moving mountains to talk to you...quite frankly I'm making a baby, and truly nothing else matters.
T.J. and I have realized many of our true friends through this process (not only this pregnancy, but the pregnancy lose we also encountered this year.) You see, who is truly happy for you and who isn't has become very clear....and the best part is, it doesn't matter. we don't have time for it. We have a baby to worry about now, not who our friends are and who saying what about this and that.
We are however, extremely grateful to have the close friends and family that have been here and they have been great. They are appreciated 100% and quite frankly we could not imagine starting our family without you all.
So yea I guess I have changed, and I like it..If you don't...well it doesn't matter. Of course having a child is going to change people, if it doesn't their may be a problem with you. So to anwser the question "have I changed?" I anwser "yes!!" I grew up...I'm somebody mother now, and that's all that matters.

P.S. I really REALLY love peanut butter m&m's!!!!
