Since we no longer do FFFC, I figured we could start a mom confessions because I'm sure we all have a few!

    I fall asleep with Ezra in the moby wrap all the time! It's the only swaddle he'll take! He doesn't like it near his face thankfully, and at most it's been an hour.

    @ncm0328 I thought my baby looked like Mr. Magoo when I first saw her. she was super puffy.
    Y'all make me feel better. I told my husband our DS looked like a zombie baby because he was covered in gunk and blue.

    I cut my baby's finger while trimming her nails the other day. Worst moment yet. 
    Reading this made me feel better that I've left the dirt under my DS fingers for three days.

    Even though the formula directions say a bottle of formula is only good for an hour after you start feeding, I definitely stretch it out to 1.5-2 hours sometimes.

    My baby's cry is so adorable that sometimes I'll let her cry and just smile at her cuteness. 

    Shall I continue? I could probably do this all day! 

    My dad did this to me when I was little. He felt horrible about it, but I don't even remember it. No scars, physically or mentally!

    If there's only a little poo that makes it from baby's diaper to his heel and then to the inside of his onesie when I'm changing his diaper, I don't always swap out the onesie.

    Similarly, I've given up on LO and myself having clothes without any spit up on them.

    I do still end up changing his outfit 2-3 times a day when they get dirty, but am trying not to expect perfection anymore.

    @Charla1224 I'd do the diaper w/o clothes route if I could, but he seems to be extra sensitive to changes in temp when I move him sans clothes and becomes super fussy.

    I've totally picked/eaten a few crumbs off LO too!

    I take like 10 pictures of DS for one pose then post the best one, aka one where he doesn't look like a wrinkled old man and has RBF (resting B face, his trademark look, supposedly from our friend's comment). Newborns just aren't too cute.

    I sometimes mock his cries when he's crying and ask him how hard his life is, like does he have student loans, debt, house payment, car payment, a job?!

    I usually only change his onsie when it starts smelling bad or it's too wet from spit up. If it's still good, it's staying on. My kid doesn't wear jammies, he's basically in jammies all day unless we need to go out somewhere to see actual people we know.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    Cry mocking- my DH translates Ezra's cries to "nooo! Hitlers! GENEVA CONVENTION!" Cracks me up every time!

    My child is literally covered in crumbs all the time because I end up eating with her in the wrap almost every day. 

    My confession is that she's 5 weeks old and I just realized I've only bathed her 3 times in her life. Which means that when I thought I was bathing her once a week, turns out I was grossly overestimating my parental competence. 

    One more- and this is actually a horrible sleep deprived thing that I did accidentally and will NEVER do again- I had Viv in her car seat with the snap & go at the grocery store the other day, and she started crying so I unbuckled her and calmed her down, then set her back down in the seat and finished my grocery shopping. Got back in the car, took the seat off the snap & go and put it back on the base, and drove the 6 blocks home. At which point I realized I hadn't re-buckled her when I put her back in and had just driven 6 blocks without her being buckled at all! Now I check her obsessively every time I put her seat in the car.

    I totally do this. If he falls asleep while feeding I just use it for the next feeding. He's fine! No extra gas lol.

    I feel like the biggest POS ever admitting this...but I have to get it off my chest to someone and I would get mega burned mentioning it to anyone in my life...when DD was first born, I obviously thought she was the greatest miracle ever...but I found myself staring at her and thinking she wasnt very cute. She was SUPER puffed up due to her being edemic from my pre-eclampsia and water retention...and the day after she was born after she had peed out some of that puffiness I thought she was the most beautiful thing ever...but I'll always feel like the POS mom who thought her kid was "just alright" in the looks department at first glance...that's effed up. 
    I don't know, I still look at my baby and think she's pretty goofy looking. Maybe she'll be cute eventually, but she's got kind of a Walter Matthau jowls thing going on and the baby acne isn't helping either. 
    I am SO relieved that I'm not the only one who thinks their baby is weird looking. I always thought newborns looked like old men but assumed I would feel differently about my own baby...nope! DH of course thinks he is 100% adorable so I feel like a jerk for being grossed out by his acne and peeling skin.

    I call DS2 by his brother's name. All the time. And barely even realize it most of the time. And then I get sad because I'm a second child and I feel enormous guilt and have been trying to make sure he's getting enough photos of just him, attention etc.

    I've called DS by DD's name several times now. Not even the same gender.

    THIS!!!! I'm convinced I'm going to do this,  or DH will. So easy to do!

    I feel like a garbage mom sometimes because I find dog hair on my LO in strange places- her neck folds, her arm pit, and yesterday in her mouth! Gross! We work really hard to keep the level of dog hair in our apartment to a minimum but Holly seems to be a magnet for it. 
    I wouldn't worry too much. When she gets a little  bigger she'll probably lick the dog (doggy kisses! ) my mom caught my niece drinking out of the dogs water bowl lol kids and pets!

    @Bellodomani I've done it too and almost done it another handful of times. Now I'm just not undoing it...ever

    Serious confession: I am terrified of racing a mixed child. Every time I see the news or random Instagram accounts, I see so much more racism than I knew existed from all sides. It breaks my heart the conversations my DH and I will have to have with him.

    I've accidentally called my son by one of my dogs' names as often as I have used his own name. 
    I've done this so many times. It doesn't help the names start with the same letter. At least when I told DH about this he said he's done the same thing so I don't feel too bad. :neutral:

    Left my son in his bouncy seat to nap (it's noon now, he went down around 10:45am). I know the American Pediatric society says not to leave them there, yadda yadda. But he looks so peaceful.
