It only takes about a month and a half for you to see your boobs as breakfast, lunch, and dinner for your baby. Consequently, you become much more open about nursing in company.

I bet that transition time is longer for my father-in-law.

Do not go in the kiddie pool

Is it a secret only mum's know? A friend told us that swimmimg diapers are NOT leak proof and in fact that was the point. A diaper doesn't need to soak up all that pool water, so the pee just passes through. She learned this the hard way but getting her daughter ready for the pool at home.

A day later my husband says, "If newborn poo is mostly liquid, what happens to that in the pool?" Two things, why did it take us a day to think of that and will I ever take my daughter to the kiddie pool?

Wendy's junior cheeseburger deluxe

While scraping an excessive amount of mustard off a Wendy's junior cheeseburger deluxe, my husband commented "It's really disturbing how similar mustard is to poo". He then handed me the burger....Bon Appetite

Picture perfect

Trying to take a photograph of your newborn smiling is similar to...
- successfully taking a photograph of lightning
- capturing the lone snow leopard in a safari park in Trenton NJ
- taking a photograph of the countryside from a bullet train in Japan

...all require $1000's of dollars of equipment or at least 5 people

True happiness

An old wives tale says that newborns only smile because they have gas. As they get older, they start to smile at you and there's truly nothing sweeter, nothing better to melt away the tiredness, frustration, and aching back.

(just forget that they still smile when they have gas)

Nursing etiquette?

If you're staying with your best friend who's also a mum, can you whip out your boob in front of the man of the house?
We decided, "No".
