I love this youtube clip and it got me thinking...

https://youtu.be/taDqKWWPDAY

I LOVE MY LIFE AS A MUM!!!!! Seriously - i don't think i'd change it one bit! I think its the most rewarding thing i've ever done!!! but if you could go back and tell yourself one thing before you were a mum what would it be???

Mine:

1. there is no such thing as a silly question or wrong answer

2. love your body for what it was in  the past so you can love it even more in the future!

    Loved that video.  It totally made me cry.

    Mine would be:

    1. Worry is wasteful

    Somedays I have to remind myself of that.  Ok.... most days.

    1. He might be tiny but he is strong.

    2. You and baby are both new at this. Its ok to make a mistake.

    3. Baby and burp cloths go together. Always have one.

    Oh, good one!

    I would tell myself something similar - to not be in such a hurry to put her down once she fell asleep those first few weeks.

    1.  STAY CALM!  baby can sense stress and anxiety!

    2. Its ok if breast feeding does not work out. (there is always pumping!)

    3. There is no such thing as too many receiving blankets, burp cloths!

    I agree. Mommyhood is the best thing ever!

    I'd tell myself during the first couple weeks that it gets better so fast...as far as sleeping.

    I would tell myself that it's ok if it takes 3x as long to do simple errands- no need to stress out when you have to stop grocery shopping and feed LO.

    Also, you will get so good at doing things 1 handed!
