first timers

let's give a round of applause to first-time moms.

are they nervous?

sure.

over prepared?

definitely.

but is that really a bad thing?

not. at. all.

 

i know the luvs commercial makes it seem

like first time moms are a little neurotic and

when you have your second you are easy breezy.

but this week i was wishing i was my first-time-mom self.

two years ago my diaper bag had:

diapers

wipes

 a change of clothes

lotion

 nail clippers

powder

vitamin d

vix vapor rub...

i mean, i had everything.

i don't know what i thought was going to happen,

but if brette had an emergency hang nail, a sweaty butt or

a sudden stuffy nose - -

i. was. ready.

 

now?

i have a minnie mouse doll, a swimsuit,

a diaper, change of panties, a t-shirt, a few wipes,

flip flops and a granola bar.

r a n d o m

so when reid blew out a diaper while we were out,

well lets just say i missed my old diaper bag.

poop was on her clothes, her blanket and

her burp cloth.

dammit.

luckily we had just left wal-mart and were at my brother's

so i could scrounge up extra wipes and brette's t-shirt.

 

 

thank god its not winter.

my poor second child.

its time for me to repack my diaper bag

and try to be more like a first time mom.
