ditto the immunity to poo & puke.
in addition...
before:
any noise in my room while i was asleep made me clench my fists,
ready to punch whoever came close enough to try to wake me.
after:
i hear every little pitter patter & door handle click,
and respond not with a clenched fist,
but by pulling back the sheets
so the little one can climb up with me.
