Before I had a baby I never thought I would....

[octanegirl]

Come on, this will be fun! Before I had a baby I never thought I would:

Pick another human being's nose for them.....for example

Come on girls! Let's 'av em! :)

Catch baby sneezes ( usually with a mouth full of porridge) nd count myself lucky to have averted the kitchen being sprayed in it again.

Already said up thread, but mine is deff catching vomit in my hand! Or catching semi chewed food in my hand also. And not really caring that my clothes are dirty. And wiping a little snotty nose with my hand & wiping on my clothes if nothing else to hand

think 10.30 was a late night on a Friday

YY to swaying without actually having hold of DS
YY to not remembering if I brushed my teeth

Sniff a nappy. I hated seeing people do this. Ha!!

Haha these are great. I also get poo on my fingers and don't retch....

Get SO much unbelievable pleasure out of sniffing another persons head/hair. (Newly bathed baby)

This actually sooths my soul.

Go out the house wearing zero make up !

Say 'good boy' to a work mate for burping. (when on a rare night out because I was so used to winding DS1 for hours trying to pat out every single burp or else he'd scream).

Do the sniff test as mentioned.

Actually rub snot into my clothes thinking 'ahh that's fine, you can hardly see it' rather than change clothing or even attempting to wipe it off.

Be so bored yet so in love all at the same time.

Be pleased DS2 shat in the bath mat (because it wasn't the floor).

Caught sick in my hands.

Calmly squat and have a wee behind a skip in wickes car park as I just couldn't hold on any longer.

Consider 7am a lie in.

Be showered in poop at 5am whilst changing a very shitty nappy!!!

Pick someone else's nose and then eat it (surreptitiously) because there's nowhere to put it.
Pick up a raisin off the change mat only to find out it's a teeny piece of poo.
Spend an entire morning cleaning poo off 100 plastic balls after a ball pool nappy leak.
Utter the words "is your bottom sore? No? Well leave it alone then!"
Get a tear in my eye when dd swam 5 metres without armbands or indeed for any of her amazing achievements :)

Have someone else urinate into my mouth.....

Haha these have made me laugh so much!

Totally agree about 7am being a (super super) long lie! 6am is acceptable in our house these days!

One night my dh came back to bed with his t-shirt soaked with dd's pee - he had been so tired that he forgot to change himself!

I lost count of the amount of times I went back to bed after a night feed covered in sick or dried in breastmilk!

And yy to having poo on you and thinking "I'll get that on a minute"!!!! Oh how standards slip haha!

I didn't think it was possible to love someone so much - I though I couldn't love anyone as much as I loved my dh but nothing compares to know much I love my dd.

What I will never do though is suck snot from my child's nose which is what a friend of mine did when her dd's nose was blocked

Feel strange working along without a pram.

Publicly announce it every time I go for a wee

Get up the bus from work and run because I miss my daughter so much

Feed them half my shopping whilst walking round Tescos. I hate myself when I do it. I hated myself as DD2 chomped on a stolen hot cross bun this morning, but it kept her happy and I paid at the end.

say "would you pleasd stop beating me up?" to averysmall person.

I love threads like this !

Get so much enjoyment from picking a bogey out of someone else's nose. Especially when it has been hanging in there for a few days.

Have a whole iTunes section dedicated to white noise... Lakeside waves anyone?

... Be doing one load of washing a day.

And I can relate to being pretty nonchalent about poo under my fingernails!! (Not mine)

TotesAmaze, mine are the same as yours - iTunes is no longer for me, it's white noise and lullabies. And I cannot believe how much washing I do (or should do!) in a day.

Rocking a supermarket trolley, I noticed I did this every time we stopped in Ikea when it was the first time we left PFB.

Sniff baby's bum - I PROMISED myself I wouldn't do it, I do it all the time.

Join a baby music group

Wipe puke off my clothes with a baby wipe instead if getting changed

Park in the P&C spaces - I used to consider that ridiculous! As bad as they are, they are so convenient :/.

Consider purchasing a people carrier when I have one child, there is sooooo much stuff!

And the fingernail poo...

Lick my finger or a tissue and clean DS's face - promised myself I'd never do that remembering so vividly my mum doing it to me and hating it.
Make a song out of every single activity/bodily function.
Have everything made better by a baby's proper giggle.

Ever have another baby, funnily enough

Have someone vomit all over my face and immediately smile and give them a kiss

Sleep (or more correctly not sleep)in a chair beside a hospital bed
Hold tiny hands while doctors do unspeakable things to the wide awake child
Hand child over for surgery more times than you can remember
