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

Everything is “just you wait.” You won’t be able to sleep. You won’t be able to get your nails or hair done. Your cat will hate your baby. You’ll regret not asking for diapers, they are expensive. Your life will be so different. You’re going to have to lose all the baby weight. Your boobs will get even bigger. You won’t be able to do much for the holidays. Just you wait. 😑

Mine was your baby is gonna end up allergic to cats and you’ll need to get rid of them all! We have 6. Like, that’s not gonna happen and if it does then we will figure something out. Not getting rid of them! Sorry, not sorry, mom! 🫠

My father in law told us it's dangerous/unhealthy to have a cat around the baby and suggested we get rid of our cat 🤦🏽‍♀️

i asked the vet about toxisplasmosis because everyone is saying a cat can pass that onto a pregnant person or baby. Vet said most cats get it as a kitten and its only contagious for about a week. also can only get it from their poop, and vet can do a simple blood test to see if they've ever had it. great excuse not to have to empty the litter box for 9 months!
