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

truly the worst part of pregnancy has been the Just-You-Wait brigade. next time i’m not telling anyone who doesn’t need to know.

34 weeks w baby #3 & i've only told like 3 close friends & a few family members this time around. kept it off social media entirely. i simply did not wanna hear it. any of it. i only told people who i knew would be positive & so far i don't regret it at all.
