Mother & Baby




15 things you never knew about Motherhood (Mother & Baby magazine)
01 There is no greater pleasure n life than delicately extracting a booger from baby's nose (YES! i still can feel the euphoria of twirling out the hard & soft booger..)
02 You can sniff out another baby's dirty diaper from 20m away but you're certain your own baby's poop doesn't smell at all (not true la, my girl's poop is VERY smelly)
03 You'll be a pro on hairstyles that hide the fact you havent washed your hair in a week
(yes, i cut my hair short to aviod this frm happening)
04 All these beautiful wooden toys you lovingly chose for your baby will be abandoned in favour of a mountain of plastic crap with flashing lights (i refused to buy toys until i was exhasuted from entertaining her all the time, i bought a few toys in the hope to distract her)
05 At some stage, every parent forgets to put a diaper on their baby before dessing him...and faces the consequences (YEs, she projectile sprayed shit within the first week)
06 You'll never listen to your own CDs in the car again - its nursery rhymes all the way (havent yet but i recorded all nursery & music in my ipod)
07 You'll scream at your baby for screaming - then burst into tears becos you feel guilty (yes i admit, i felt so helpless and sorry after tt)
08 Its impossible to carry an umbrella and push a stroller (yet to experience but a baby carrier is sooo useful)
09 U'll become immune to bodily fluids.Vomit on your shoulder?Just dab with towel and noone will notice (yes, i cant be bothered to change my top eventually)
10 You'll sing. All the time. From getting dressed in the morning to unloading the dishwasher at teatime, there's a ditty for every occasion. (yes i build up my songs frm young & i finally used them, but i got sore throat from singing too much one day)
11 U'll suddenly understanding why lioness kill anything tt comes near their young. (my sister witnessed my killing a mosquito in my rm with a vengence)
12 U will hv blazing row with your spouse who is more tired..(YES!!)
13 And actualy start to envy him for going out to work. An hour's lunch break and opprtunity to drink a still-hot cup of coffee? Lucky devil (i actually do look forward to working & socialising)
14 There's no such thing as socks tt stay put (single sock & mitten found on floor/bed/cot/chair, just not on her)
15 U'll understand motherhood is the most difficult, exhausting,confusing and frightening job known to womankind - but its the most fulfiling thing u'll ever do. (Cannot be any truer)
