I thought it would be fun to start a thread on what I expect having a baby to be like.
It will be a silly way to publicly admit how wrong I am, and all you parents out there will hopefully get some good laughs at my naivety.
I& #39;m 34 weeks pregnant today. Let& #39;s do it.

Childbirth seems scary. It& #39;s like someone saying to you, "In a month, you& #39;ll be kicked in the balls hard 6 times, but then someone will give you a million dollars."
I know I& #39;ll be happy about that second part, but could we maybe avoid the most excruciating pain of my life part?

I think this baby is going to be early. I have no idea why. But I think she& #39;ll be somewhere from a few days to 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
Maybe this is because I can& #39;t bear the idea of being pregnant MORE than another 6 weeks.

Every first time parent seems afraid to blink for the first few weeks, watching the baby CONSTANTLY.
That definitely won& #39;t be me. Obviously she& #39;ll be fine, and I don& #39;t have to stare at her to make sure she keeps breathing.

People say breastfeeding is really hard. 2 million years of ancestors + evolution wouldn& #39;t let us survive if it was truly that difficult. Literally, a monkey can do it. AND did you know pigeons feed their babies with milk? Male and female! And those are some dumb birds.
How many diapers a day does a newborn need? Sure I could go Google it, but I like a little mystery in my world. The pack of diapers we have says "12-hour dry" but NO WAY is that how long a diaper lasts.
I& #39;m gonna guess 4-6 diapers a day. Only time will tell!
