“You can pretend to be serious; you can't pretend to be witty.” – Sacha Guitry

The Difference Between a 1st Time Mom and 2nd or 3rd Time Mom






Phone conversation of a 1st time Mom: Sorry, I think I hear the baby. I better go.

Phone conversation of a 2nd or 3rd time mom: Sorry, Haddie took a toy from Jenna and Jackson is hungry.  I can't hear you. Can you speak up?

**********

Diaper check of a 1st time mom: 1st time mom gingerly checks to see if it's a poopy diaper.

Diaper check of a 2nd or 3rd time mom: 2nd or 3rd time mom leans forward as daddy brings diaper up to mom's nose to check if any offending odors are being emitted.

 **********

Transport of a newborn of a 1st time mom: The whole car seat along with blanket, a car seat cover, and the visor attached and up.
 
Transport of a newborn of a 2nd or 3rd time mom: The infant

**********

Diaper bag of a 1st time mom: A cute, large diaper bag full to the brim of ANY possible item that we MIGHT need.

Diaper bag of a 2nd or 3rd time mom: Her purse with a few diapers thrown in...and hopefully baby wipes.

**********

The putting away of baby clothes by 1st time mom: Folded neatly with all matching pieces together. Each drawer perfectly organized according to pants, shorts, shirts, long sleeve and short sleeve, socks...etc...

The putting away of baby clothes by a 2nd or 3rd time mom: Stuffed in the drawer that once was the designated place for such items, but is now a jammed mess of random articles of clothing. (The drawer is just going to be emptied AGAIN in a day or two by older siblings anyway)

**********

Handling of a crying newborn by a 1st time mom: Comforting words lovingly whispered as 1st time mom gently soothes baby while worriedly going through a mental check list of any possible reasons as to why the tears.

Handling of a crying newborn by a 2nd or 3rd time mom: Comforting words lovingly whispered as 2nd or 3rd time mom gently soothes baby.
