And I didn'...I'm honest, almost to a fault. And I didn't hold back in my new-mom stories. However, I now look at some of my new mommy friends and how they've handled the transition with ease (triplet mom about to head back to work and hasn't lost her cool once...what?!?!?!). Maybe I did share too much info. Maybe it was me that had the hard time. But we're all different and handle things as such. And now I find myself as the mom who keeps everything sweet, wonderful, and simple, yet find great comfort when someone else is just as honest as me:) I could add a few things to your list...DON'T tell them that your husband might become a complete stranger; DON'T tell them you might actually understand how someone could shake a baby. DON'T tell them that nursing/pumping isn't all wonderful and is plain HARD. DON'T tell them about the post partum stomach mashing after delivery. Good God.<br /><br />So you're expecting again I take it? CONGRATS! <br /><br />And I agree...being a mom and relishing in these days (the good, bad, and ugly) really is the best thing ever:)<br /><br />KrissyKrissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14724958461169007370noreply@blogger.com
