Baby Sayings about First, Second, and Third Babies

I found this and it had me laughing. I hope all you mothers enjoy.

Having a new baby changes everything. But the way you handle being a parent also changes with each new baby. Here are some new baby sayings about the ways having a second and third child is different from having your first.

Preparing for Birth
FIRST BABY: She practices breathing religiously.
SECOND BABY: She doesn’t bother practicing because she remembers the last time, breathing didn’t do a thing.
THIRD BABY: She asks for an epidural in the 8th month.

Clothes of the Mom-to-Be
FIRST BABY: She begins wearing maternity clothes as soon as the OB/GYN confirms the pregnancy.
SECOND BABY: She wears her regular clothes for as long as possible.
THIRD BABY: Maternity clothes ARE her regular clothes.

Worries
FIRST BABY: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown – the parents pick up the baby.
SECOND BABY: They pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake the firstborn.
THIRD BABY: They teach the 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

The Layette
FIRST BABY: The newborn’s clothes are carefully pre-washed with special delicate detergent, color-coordinated, and folded neatly in the baby’s little bureau.
SECOND BABY: She checks to make sure that the clothes are clean and discards only the ones with the darkest stains.
THIRD BABY: Boys can wear pink, can’t they?

Diapering
FIRST BABY: The baby’s diapers are changed every hour, whether they need it or not.
SECOND BABY: The diaper is changed every 2 to 3 hours, if needed.
THIRD BABY: The parents try to time the changing of diapers before others start to complain about the smell or it starts sagging to the knees.

Pacifier
FIRST BABY: If the pacifier falls on the floor, they put it away until they can go home and wash and boil it.
SECOND BABY: When the pacifier falls on the floor, they squirt it off with some juice from the baby’s bottle.
THIRD BABY: A quick wipe off on the shirt and just pop it back in.
