Motherhood is the most lovely as well as proud feeling in the
world for any woman. There is little doubt that the motherhood
changes everything in fact the entire world of the women. But
motherhood itself changes every time a new baby is born. Here
are certain ways, which can help you discover the truth in this
fact. Check it out yourself how having a second and third child
differs from having the first one!
Your Clothes
First Baby:
You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN
confirms your pregnancy.
Second Baby:
You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
Third Baby:
Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes.
The Baby's Name
First Baby:
You pore over baby-name books and practice pronouncing and
writing combinations of all your favorites.
Second Baby:
Someone has to name his or her kid after your great-aunt Mavis,
right? It might as well be you.
Third Baby:
You open a name book, close your eyes, and see where your finger
falls. Bimaldo? Perfect!
Preparing for the Birth
First Baby:
You practice your breathing religiously.
Second Baby:
You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time,
breathing didn't do a thing.
Third Baby:
You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.
The Layette
First Baby:
You prewash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and
fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
Second Baby:
You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard
only the ones with the darkest stains.
Third Baby:
Boys can wear pink, can't they?
Worries
First Baby:
At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown - you pick up
the baby.
Second Baby:
You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your
firstborn.
Third Baby:
You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
Activities
First Baby:
You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby
Story Hour.
Second Baby:
You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
Third Baby:
You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.
Going Out
First Baby:
The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home
5 times.
Second Baby:
Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a
number where you can be reached.
Third Baby:
You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees
blood.
At Home
First Baby:
You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
Second Baby:
You spend a bit of every day watching to be sure your older
child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
Third Baby:
You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children. |
