  I didn't think I'd sleep with a kid in my bed either. I was always giving my oldest brother shit for bed sharing with my nephew and his wife would sleep on the floor, lol! Like I said yesterday it'd probably be picking someone else's nose. Then the icing on the cake was telling DH about the massive booger I pulled out of his daughters tiny nose. I'm so gross now!

  5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional.  5 BFPs.  My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.

  I never thought I would be so happy to see poop diapers and the poop diapers could make such stimulating conversation for my DH and I.

  Also..I never thought I would work so hard to get even a flicker of a smile. I know it is early but when his facell lights up it is amazing.

  I also never thought I'd bed share. I never thought I'd be so against letting my baby cry for even a second. Basically I never thought I'd be such a softie.

  Have a preference to walk around top less. I'm pretty conservative in terms of covering up, but having the boobs just hang out is way more comfortable.

  I totally agree with this.

  Wait!  I have a real one!  

  
  

  Hold up someone's legs and cheer for the poop coming out!

  NIP without a cover.  I was at Target and the baby went nuts, so I whipped my breast out and carried the baby around nursing.  The only person in the whole store who gave a shit was DH who kept offering me a receiving blanket.

  I never thought I'd have this much new mom anxiousness... Like is her belly button healing ok? Should I be pumping more? Is she too warm in pjs and her sleep sack? Pre-baby me totally would have thought I was ridiculous.

  I never knew it was the older kid who would make this STM thing so hard! The newborn is cake!

  I never thought I would let my MIL see my boobs.
  
  I never thought I would be that mom who can't talk about anything but her newborn. I am working on it. I have serious admiration for the moms who don't discuss poop, sleep and tummy time all day long!

  Never thought I would laugh hysterically after having projectile poop fly at me during a diaper change.

  I never thought I would actually have kids, so there's that. But I'll probably go with being excited about poop.

  I never thought I would be this emotional. I cried no less than 300 times since delivery, 13 days ago. I was so calm during pregnancy and never was all that hormonal, but post
  Partum I was a wreck.

  I never thought I would openly discuss my breasts and nipples with so many different people. I also never thought I would have to sleep on the couch bc LO projectile pooped all over the sheets, dust ruffle, mattress pad, and carpet during a nighttime diaper change.

  I never thought I would have so much anxiety about parenting. I helped raise my sisters and have always been around kids. I wanted to be a mom so badly, and it really never crossed my mind that all of these little things make me worry. Being a mom is hard.

  Never thought a baby would make me want to pull myself away from some people. For example... I just deleted FB because I have no desire to share all of LOs special moments with a bunch of people I couldn't care less about. If you're included in my child's life, consider yourself blessed because I'm choosing to make you a part of it!

  Most of this! I didn't think I'd ever want to have a child, much less actually do it. I never saw myself as maternal. And breastfeeding seemed like such a weird thing to do. But here I am.

  My biggest thing is the emotional thing. I was never an emotional type of person, even during pregnancy. Today I bawled thinking that DD is going to be 1 month old tomorrow. Then an hour later I cried because she doesn't fit into most of her newborn clothes anymore. (

  I never thought I'd be the parent making up silly lullabies to get the baby to calm down or sleep. I do this all the time- it's pretty ridiculous the stupidity of the songs I sing.

  Losing so much modesty due to BF. I've never felt so exposed but you have to do what you have to do.

  Bed sharing, babywearing, breastfeed, cloth diaper, have 4 kids 4 and under, be a SAHM, by daughter number 3 we thought we were only going to have daughters, have serious conversations about my fear of hurting my son's penis/testicles....
  
  Love anyone more than I love my husband... I love him so fully and truly but these kids own my heart. The funny thing is he feels the same way! I swear he split himself into pieces to live around those little pinkies!!!
