"First Time Mom"




"You know you're a first time mom when...."

******
1) I usually sterilize, not sanitize, -sterilize each pacifier that falls on the floor, even if it's just the carpet. I sometimes go as far as wanting to throw them away.

******
2) I check on the girls while they're sleeping at least 5 times a night.

******
3) I have hand sanitizer in every room of my house and go through it like water. I even order the very kind the hospitals use and I think it's worth every pretty penny.

******
4) I think everyone who I allow to come visit is carrying a disease.

******
5) I always think Shane is going to die when he leaves for work in the mornings.

******
6) I'm very particular about who holds my girls and how they hold them.

******
7) I wash baby blankets after a one time use.

******
8) I've eliminated caffeine, carbination, chocolate, freakin all DAIRY!, onions, beans, garlic, butter, anything remotely spicey in hopes of making them sleep better and helping Lindsey be less fussy. My diet sucks right now.

******
9) I actually change my shirt after I hold my cats. These are very healthy indoor cats who get rediculously regular checkups with the vet too.

******
10) I buy anything I see that has to do with babies; useful or not.



Yes, I've decided I'm most definitely the epitomy a first time mom!!

I definitely remember those days... especially when I did have time to sleep, I couldn't because I was too worried that Drew might stop breathing or something. It will get better :)

Your 25 random things were great! Some things have not changed about you, namely your love of cats (oh, Beauf), nail biting, and Titanic! I miss you!

And I will start working on my 25 things too...

Oh you little first time mom! I definitely appreciate it though, and I still find myself doing those same things with the second one! They're just so innocent you want to do everything you can to protect them!

This is so funny!And true but you worked so hard getting those girls here so do what you want.I was the same way in some areas.I hated when complete strangers came up and touched my babies while I was a the store.I about want to slap them.One time a saw a sign on a babies carseat that said something about germs and please dont touch.I loved it!Anyway, after a while you will relax a little.You will look back and laugh.
