30 observations of a 1st time Mom

Dear Diary, My baby will be 10 months old tomorrow (photos will be posted) and I've learned heaps about babies and parenthood during that time... I wrote down observations because I didn't want to forget them and thought I would share them on the blog because I'm sure our readers can relate to many of them (a bit of a long read, sorry). 1. You can never completely prepare, plan or know what to expect during childbirth. 2. A c-section is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. 3. After birth, hair falls out by the clumps and it’s even worse after a c-section under general anaesthetic. I wish someone told me to expect it. 4. Pooping takes a lot of energy and concentration. 5. Babies are early morning people. 6. You can never cuddle a newborn enough. 7. No matter how much stain remover you use carrot stains do not come out of clothes. 8. Little girls really are daddy’s girls. 9. You can never have enough bibs. 10. Cheerios are buoyant in the washing machine
