Things that no one told you about being a new mom
This is my little observation of the things someone could've told me about being a new mom. This isn't all baby stuff either, it's about the mommys too!
- Showers become VERY limited, I haven't showered since Sunday! LOL (i don't stink I promise!!!) To counter the smell from lack of showering....use baby wipes. Baby's consume your time and energy, when I'm not taking care of Shaniya, I'm sleeping or trying to eat!
- An attached baby means no more meals by yourself! Yes it's true, they have some kind of little device planted in them at birth that goes off when you're either cooking and about to sit down to eat. This device in turn, goes off and makes baby's mouth open really wide and let out wild cries, the device is reset once the baby is safely tucked between you and you nice plate of food. Hmmm so much for 4 play! (for those of us with relationships with our food)
- "Wow mom you look HAWT....NOT!!! I'm taking my braids down so my hair is really wild looking right, well Shaniya doesn't really focus on my face now, she stares at the odd shapes sticking up from my head and amuses herself until she falls asleep!
- Every part of your house that you throw away a diaper will stink for either hours or even days!!! My room permanently (sp?) smells of pee.. how wonderful huh!
- If you find time to clean DO IT!!! My room is packed with so much crap that I don't know where to begin cleaning it at. Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake, don't let things pile up to the point where you're piling things on top of exisiting piles of baby crap!
- Sex....haaa even self pleasuring is GONE!!! No more alone time!!!!
- A sleeping baby + family members = 1 wide awake baby And no hiding in your room under the blankets doesn't work anymore.
- LAST BUT SO NOT LEAST....the smell of spoiled milk is everywhere, no matter how much you wash and clean it's still there, make friends with it and embrace it because from what I've been told, it lasts for a LONG while!
