You dreamed for 9 months to have a drink and now that it's here you worry about not being in control of yourself enough should something happen like the house catches on fire you can't save everyone, you become deaf from drinking alcohol (although it's never happened) and you won't hear the baby cry if you're needed, etc... Yeah I'm a control freak.

Next Saturday if I am up for it, DH and I are walking to a local restaurant with outside seating for brunch with Harper...all so I can have a glass of wine. One of the perks of your breast milk never coming in.

You see white stuff in your hair but are so tired that it's dry before you realize it's spit up. Then you leave it there because, eh, who's going to see and it will happen again anyway.
Your baby projectile vomited on your 4 hours ago and you still haven't got up to clean yourself since lo is still fast asleep in your arms
Yeah, I know the feeling. Baby threw up on our bed in the middle of the night a few nights ago and we still haven't changed the sheets.... priorities change really quickly when you after a baby.

Last night Ezra peed through his diapers and it got on the sheets on my side of the bed, but we didn't change the sheets because, in the words of DH "it's on your side and you don't really care about that" and I really don't.
When you change a diaper , lift baby off changing table only to hear the loudest rumble/ fart then set baby back down to change another diaper. Rinse repeat.

Oh my gosh! every nappy change ends up as 2 or 3 for me. Last night MH asked me to change her before he fed her because he didn't want to "squish poo against her butt while holding her" I told him she would go again in 10 minutes but he insisted. I changed and she pooped . . . I told him to wait for about 3 more fartty rumbles but he insisted I change her again. More poop followed. We are going to keep the diaper companies in business this way!
Sometimes your husband will forget to throw away two dirty diapers. You'll notice because the dog ate part of them and flung the rest of them all over the living room. This will happen just as your baby starts to cry and some people from church come by to drop off food

Haha yeah we are getting better at letting a few minutes of rumbling go by before we change again to maximize that current diaper !

HA I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does this. I feel bad for the little guy but otherwise I have to change him 3x in 10 minutes... And the way he screams during diaper changes makes me think he appreciates getting it done in one job too.

We do the same thing- if I didn't wait for a few farts before changing I'd be changing all the time!!
While asleep, you put your stuffed pink piglet in the middle of the crib thinking it's your LO (whom your DH has taken out) and when you check your breastfeeding app, you apparently fed the stuffed piglet for a few minutes as well.
You're covered in every bodily fluid your baby can make at 5am and fully planning on getting in bed immediately after LO goes back down without changing clothes because SLEEP.
Babyfmama totally get that. You are hungry, thirsty, need a shower, and need to sleep. Right when baby goes down, you attempt to figure out which choose your own adventure wins. Sleep usually wins. Doesnt matter though as baby immediately gets up because not in arms.
