At work today I was talking to a pregnant colleague and she said it will be so strange taking a baby home and what do you actually do with a baby when you get home from hospital and I said with mine I took them on a tour of the house to show themwhere everything is and where they would be sleeping. By this point other colleagues had joined the conversation and thought it was funny and weird that I did this. I assumed most people would do this when they bring their babies home. Am i weird or is this normal 🙈🤣🤣

Not weird at all, treating your newborn as a valued member of the family. You'd show an older child around a new home why not an infant?

Because an older child can see further than right to twelve inches?

So what if it's weird 😂
Bringing your newborn home is just the best thing ever!

You've reminded me that I knew I was supposed to talk to my baby but didn’t know what about it so I explained the difference between verbs, nouns and adjectives!
