Totally Hilarious Ways To Tell That You’re A First-time Mom

And here you thought you were the only one that did these things, didn't you?

You probably thought all of your friends were crazy when their lives turned upside down after their first child. But you, a first-time mom, are about to see what it's all about.

You could read the following as a warning, but who are you kidding. You'll do all 15. It's part of being a first-time mom.

1. Check that the baby's alive

What was that sound? Is the baby OK? Is the baby still breathing?

We all did it. So, feel free to press your ear against your baby's lips—make sure that your baby is still breathing. Just don't wake him up!

2. Overpack the diaper bag

I don't know about you, but I was pretty excited to get a diaper bag. I made sure to buy one that had pockets for bottles, diapers, wipes, hand sanitizer, poopy diaper bags, burp cloths, muslin blankets, change of clothes … Well, you get the idea.

I totally could've written these first two. I mean, seriously. I can't even count how many times I would tiptoe into my son's room and check on him at night. And the diaper bag? Ha. Using the term over-packing was a serious understatement.
