Thought I'd list some of the things that I have been completely unprepared for, - for others to add to if they wish.......may help those going through their early weeks.
Newborns:
They don't just throw up in their moses baskets, - but rub their heads in it too!
You'll sleep in a bed with milk, sick and wee stains!
Lack of sleep is made worse by your constant checking if they are still breathing!
You'll brush your teeth whilst sitting on the loo at least once!
Even if you dress your LO in complete blue or pink outfits, people will still ask you whether it is a girl or a boy!
Every sofa, table and bedside cabinet in your house will be home to a muslin!
HVs will be useless (okay - I was warned about that one)!
Very big men will get emotional at the sight of your LO and you'll get followed around Tescos by old women.
Your strong views on dummies, formula, BF etc will disappear out of sight!
You'll forget to say 'hello' to your DP/DH when they return from work.
