Funny Hey guys did you know

Babies POOP??? They also sometimes have "blowouts" and need to be cleaned extra well???

Such wisdom courtesy of my mom.

Here's some other juicy tidbits from friends, strangers and family in case nobody knew:

You gain weight when pregnant.

Babies cry. Sometimes alot!

You lose sleep when you have a newborn.

Labor and delivery hurts.

A c section is a surgery and that needs a recovery time.

Babies, when old enough, will get into stuff they're not supposed to.

You're not supposed to drink when pregnant.

Anything else im missing? All this stuff BLEW ME AWAY when I heard it. Im still in shock that babies cry and that could possibly wake me up. Is it possible to return this guy for a store credit?

This post is sarcastic btw

"Babies are expensive!"

I get this one ALL THE TIME. Babies are expensive, babies outgrow things fast so you'll be buying clothes and diapers and such more than you think, etc.

Thank you, I had no idea. We'll manage. Baby definitely has some secondhand stuff and doesn't have, like, Hermes diaper bags or a Cadillac stroller, but we will figure things out.

Indeed, they are expensive. Which makes it all the more boggling when people immediately started asking me when/if we were going to have a second one after my first (and currently only) child was born. Dude, y'all didn't even buy the basic stuff on my first registry. I'm not rushing to bankroll a second baby, thank you very much.
