One of the things I love to do is take a peek at New Mom's baby registries. There is a HUGE difference from those who have never had kids before and those expecting their second or third.
I will be the first to admit to all these things so don't take offense.
With a New Mama you will see about 10,000 items on her list.
With an "old timer" you will see 4: diapers, wipes, pacifiers and socks.
New Mama will put things like Angel Care monitor (to tell you if the baby stops breathing), a video monitor (to spy on baby), AND a regular monitor (to hear baby).
Old timers will be lucky if they even remember to plug in a monitor and laugh at all those other items b/c most of the time you will get false alarms or the video is so blurry you can't tell if that is your baby or the stuffed animal in the crib.
New Mama will put a Tide Stain stick on their registry.
Old Timers will secretly chuckle and think "like you'll ever have THE TIME to remember to use that thing." You will be up to your eyeballs in diaper changes, walking around like a zombie from the 3 hours of sleep you are getting at night, and the last thing you will care about is whether or not you pre-treated that onesie!
New Mama will put baby clothes on her registry.
Sorry but guests won't buy you clothes off of a registry. You will get clothes but you will get clothes THEY think are cute.
New Mama will put 7 truckloads of only one sized diaper: Newborn. ALERT: Newborn diapers will only fit for 1.2 days!!!! Or if your children are like mine they would have only fit while they were still in the womb.
