Birth Order Of Children. Does It Apply To You? by AmenJoan(f): 11:30am On Mar 11, 2013
Got this from another forum I belong to. Couldn't help but laugh and share. some are however quite true...

1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your doctor confirms your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.
_______________ _______________ _______________ ________
Preparing for the Birth:

1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don't bother because you remember that last time breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your eighth month.
_______________ _______________ _______________ ________
The Layette:

1st baby: You pre-wash newborn's clothes, color coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?
_______________ _______________ _______________ ________
Worries:

1st baby: At the first sign of distress--a whimper, a frown--you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your three-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
_______________ _______________ _______________ ________
Dummy:

1st baby: If the dummy falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it.
2nd baby: When the dummy falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby's bottle.
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.
_______________ _______________ _______________ _________
Nappies:

1st baby: You change your baby's nappy every hour, whether they need it or not.
2nd baby: You change their nappy every two to three hours, if needed.
3rd baby: You try to change their nappy before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees.

Activities:

1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.

Going Out:

1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home five times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.
_____________ _______________ _______________ __________
At Home:

1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
_______________ _______________ _______________ _________
Swallowing Coins:

1st child: When first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays.

3rd child: When third child swallows a coin, you deduct it from his pocket money. grin

For some strange reasons I didn't experience the first baby thingy,probably because mum gave me one to care for before I actually had mine(my little brother who was 21years my junior).By the time I had mine,I was a pro at baby matters lol,though the first baby thingy happens to most people.Nice piece op.

Quite true, the worries reduce considerably with the arrival of each new baby. I use to so cover my firstbaby no matter the wheather condition and stay awake better part of the night just to make sure she is not exposed in any way but now I go to bed and even leave them in the parlour. Lol
