February 2014 Moms

You know you're a First Time Mom when...(PIP!)

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!

  • This made me giggle.  I love the PIP.  I don't have any of these yet, but I am sure I will be the same way once LO gets here :)

  • Too funny.  I don't have any stories to share because my pregnancy brain is causing me to forget being a FTM.  I just wanted to say that I love your pics.  She is SO CUTE!!!!

    Omg I love that picture! Any Kids In The Hall fans here? "Cabbage Head" skits come to mind, lol
  • Daily bath? Um, that's not happening! I don't imagine her winter newborn skin would like that very much either!!

    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!

  • Lol that hat is priceless!!

    I panicking because he is so still when he sleeps. I have to touch him to be sure he is still breathing. It startles him and I experience a whole different kind of fear that I might wake him up.

    I feel the same way!! Every so often I'll hear her make a noise but I freak out thinking she can't breathe...she's of course completely fine...LOL
