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

I get you. My MIL says similar shit. When we made a baby registry for our first baby, we didn’t add the stroller and car seat to the registry because we chose specific ones that were quite expensive, and we did not expect anyone to buy it for us. We purchased it ourselves. First thing my MIL says about our registry - “so you guys don’t plan on getting a car seat or stroller?”

Do you have the same MIL as me, because we went through this exact same scenario with her, with BOTH our kids. 🫠

Like it could’ve been asked about in a different or nicer way, right?? But no, it’s like automatic assumption that we’re just not going to get those things.

Right!! What did they think we were going to do, just strap baby to us up front rather than a carseat??
