You know you're a FTM when you smell something sour...and sniff around awhile before you realize the smell is coming from your own baby. Because you've forgotten about the whole daily sponge bath suggestion.
You know you're a FTM when you call your pediatrician in a full blown crying fit...because your baby started breathing fast and snorting a lot, and you convinced yourself she was going into cardiac arrest.
You know you're a FTM when instead of stuffing cabbage leaves in your bra, you make your child wear them as a hat:
Ok, maybe that one has nothing to do with being a FTM. But it makes me laugh.
Anyone else have any FTM moments?? I can't be the only one making ridiculous mistakes!
Re: You know you're a First Time Mom when...(PIP!)
You know you're an FTM when it takes you 5 diapers to make it through one diaper change and poop ends up on the wall and carpet.
You know you're an FTM when you forget to cover your son's penis and he pees in his own ear.
You know you're an FTM when you decide to use the baby bath instead of a sponge bath for the first time and make the water too hot so your baby screams when his tiny tushy hit the water and then you freaked out and made it too cool and he was shivering.
I think my shining FTM moment was standing on the regular scale with and then w/o DD1 to check her weight gain, and the OMG, just like the nurse said it freaked me out because it wasn't accurate enough. Cue crying and an unnecessary pedi visit!
