Post your unrealistic expectations here...

[banana87]

Before I had DD I was convinced that:

1. She would sleep...alot...from birth.
2. I would go to the gym everyday from 4 weeks post-birth!
3. She would function on my schedule, not hers.
4. I would not love her any more than any of the kids I have worked with (I used to be a SN nanny).

A friend of mine (expecting her first) thinks that:

1. Baby will sleep in a cradle until 6 months then move to a SINGLE BED.
2. Baby will take a dummy, and be on a schedule, from birth.
3. She will not love her baby more than her goddaughter.

Next...

I had a DS already and assumed that if DC2 was a boy he would look exactly like him. I couldn't see how they would not (DS1 is my husbands double) but strangely they couldn't be more different!

They are now 6 and 4 and personality, looks, food likes and dislikes are all so different. Now expecting DC3, a girl, and have no expectations!
