1. Grandma is the most excited at the news:
Grandma thinks it is her moment and that it’s bigger than mom’s.
2. This was how Daddy drove when mommy was in labor in the backseat.
What if she gave birth in the car!
3. This is how daddy drives while carrying his baby home for the first time.
It’s called an ‘emotional journey.’

Papa is totally paranoid about this one.
5. The time when your baby farts in front of guests…
And you go like hope they know it’s the baby!
6. When you see a seven year old carry a newborn!
And you are surprised she carefully hands him over to you.
7. The moment when mama freaks out at everybody when you are loud enough to wake the newborn.
You’d rather sulk.
8. You have begun to receive unsolicited advice much ahead of time.
Long way to go before your baby gets there and you figure something out.
9. And grandpa isn’t far behind in asking a visitor to shut up, even though the baby is asleep yards away in a cozy room.
Obsessed, isn’t he?
10. But then it’s your baby who goes mysteriously quiet, and you wonder if everything is okay!
11. That heart-stopping moment when the newborn is all curled up in the sheets and you cannot spot him.
The entire family runs amok.
12. It takes some courage to change the blowout diaper for the first time.
Gets easier over time.
13. The trick to make diaper change easier…just look over the umbilical stump.
14. But when the stump eventually falls off, you must pick it, and dump it in the trashcan.
And sometimes you end up searching for it.
15. The first time you step out of the house leaving your baby under someone else’s care.
You just can’t do it, can you?
16. When someone approaches your baby without using a hand sanitizer.
You remind him of the code of conduct at once.
17. Expect the unexpected at diaper changing sessions
“I gotta towel handy!”
18. When everyone leaves you alone with your baby…
You don’t know what to do!
19. When you accidentally have your baby hit himself against the handrails.
Mommies will be mommies after all.
20. And you never realize when the newborn begins to sit upright and do this…
(inadvertently though)
