It also helped to know exactly what happens after delivery (stitches, adult diapers, witch hazel pads, etc) so that i wasn't freaking out about taking care of myself. Maybe I should write a post about that?! Thanks for commenting, Amy!

I had several women who were honest and upfront about what having a baby really entails, rather than the rainbows and unicorns view we get fed from birth. So glad you liked it!

For some reason before I had kids I thought that babies ate like 5 times a day. Then when Emma was born I was a bit shocked when they told me I had to nurse her every TWO hours. I wish someone had told me how hard breastfeeding is at first, that way I would have been a bit more mentally prepared for those early weeks. I was really bad at the competition thing when Emma was a baby. Then #2 came along and she didn't start babbling or teething until 2-3 months later than her sister did, but she walked 4 months earlier. I really saw how completely different babies can be, and they really go at their own pace. And it's interesting now because their infant development completely matches their personalities now. I have my sweet, cautious girl and my crazy wild-child!Amy https://www.blogger.com/profile/03852705329593940388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113954743642907280.post-45093592092752772452012-04-27T18:41:44.779-04:002012-04-27T18:41:44.779-04:00Jenn, I love the way you write these posts honestl...Jenn, I love the way you write these posts honestly but with class. :) And it's so nice that you cover the topics no one talks about, because if/when this is applicable to me, I'll consider myself warned. :)LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142660393950428133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113954743642907280.post-25683429061682205732012-04-27T11:53:05.817-04:002012-04-27T11:53:05.817-04:00Great point!

You could do a trade during a visit - they come to visit the baby, but bring dinner or help with dishes, or you take a nap! Win win for everyone :) <br /><br />And it was difficult to write about sex because it's such a touchy (haha) issue, but it's very important. Sorry if it was too much information for any of my family members! :)Hot Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127762343372548937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113954743642907280.post-36935738012983184612012-04-27T11:50:26.882-04:002012-04-27T11:50:26.882-04:00We will have to see you more often so G doesn'...We will have to see you more often so G doesn't give you that scrutinizing look! i tend to hold back a little because I know one constant topic can get boring, but glad someone likes hearing about it!

I was like, uh..... okay - you're breastfeeding your hubby now??<br /><br />Sorry, it made me laugh. But love the openness and keep up the blog!<br /><br />xoKendallnoreply@blogger.com
