BIRTH ORDER OF CHILDREN 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. 2nd child: When second child swallows a coin, you carefully watch for the coin to pass. 3rd child: When third child swallows a coin, you deduct it from his pocket money. __________________________________________ 20 Likes 2 Shares |

My mother First daughter: had a special bicycle flown in from the UK Second daughter: had a pretty pink bicycle from Mothercare in Lagos Me: "abeg use the bicycles your other ones used, I know it doesn't have seat, it's rusted and it has no brakes. Ride into the gate if you want to stop" 11 Likes |

babygirlfl: You'll use them for the second baby. Baby E's newborn clothes are all unisex colours for that reason. I went even more gangster and inherited baby clothes, a carrier and some stuff second-hand from others and bought a gym and other things from a second-hand shop. She's using cloth diapers which the second child will also use as well. I didn't go overboard buying stuff for her, her father ok the other hand (thank goodness I stopped him) |
Re: Moms Get In Here by babygirlfl: 7:42am On Nov 05, 2015 |
Onegai: Thank ma'am. I am learning from you. Mine is not unisex but now I know to buy unisex clothes next time. Could you kindly expand more on the clothes diapers. Heard about it but have really not done much research on it or used it. |
Re: Moms Get In Here by Onegai(f): 8:59am On Nov 05, 2015 |
babygirlfl: Cloth diapers are awesome. They save quite a bit of money for you and neither i nor my friends ever have diaper rash (due to the fact that you change them more often). But I probably won't buy them here in Nigeria: you won't get a lot of variety and you need to get the right fit and absorbency. The ones I've seen here are really cheap Chinese stuff or just one brand. Types: They have All in one's (which are like disposable), complete diaper, just change and wash them. These are convenient but dry longer. All in two, made up of a diaper cover and an insert. Like the ones your parents used but much better. So if the baby is wet, you can change the insert but still keep using the cover all day. These are usually cheaper but don't get microfiber inserts, get cotton or bamboo or hemp inserts or prefold cloth made of those fabrics. I haven't seen any very absorbent inserts sold here in Nigeria but if you can shop off Amazon, you'll get everything you need. Maybe I'll write everything down and add pictures as well later, so you can see. There are a lot of options on the market and truly the best options are a mix and match, not one system (please don't let anyone convince you otherwise) you will buy easily off Amazon and be happier in the long run. 2 Likes |

When I was expecting my first baby, was hoping for a boy but she turned out to be a cute Lil girl. She had to wear all the boys stuff until she outgrew them. |

Re: Moms Get In Here by GHoJes: 8:26pm On Nov 05, 2015 |
Hahahaha ...You spend a little bit of everyday hidding from the children. ...when third child swallows a coin, you deduct it from his pocket money. Onegai, your mum told you to apply brake by riding into the gate. The gate must have been so strong to withstand a bicycle that have survived two kids or she was tired of the gate, bicycle or both..lolz. 3 Likes |
Re: Moms Get In Here by Onegai(f): 9:25pm On Nov 05, 2015 |
GHoJes: This was in the era of armed robbers so that gate was nice and strong, she cared for the gate and knew it could survive impact. It was the bicycle and me that were expendable |
Re: Moms Get In Here by GHoJes: 10:43pm On Nov 05, 2015 |
Onegai:Hahaha...i think she knew you, bicycle and gate had thesame ability to withstand impact. |
Re: Moms Get In Here by Nobody: 11:34pm On Nov 05, 2015 |
Onegai: . Omg u cray It's true. I know how I obsess about how my kids are doing in school. If they have friends. Anyone bullying them . I thought to myself I don't remember my parents doing all this close marking. I'm a fourth child so I guess by then all the phereren has passed. I was pretty much left to it. Nobody asked who is my friend. OYO 3 Likes |

These are the contents of my diaper bag, you can see the cloth diapers at the far right corner. That's about 5 diapers there (I picked blue ones for Baby E to wear because her outfit today is blue and white). That white flowery bag is the wet bag to store dirty diapers and any wet clothes. They come in different colours and patterns and you can use them (if you take care of them well) for multiple kids. Red diaper bag with everything packed to go.

Onegai: Momma is good to go.... Nice one... Pls what's the price range of the cloth diapers seems I would want it now. Btw that your diaper bag is fine oo... Not conventional at all... |
Re: Moms Get In Here by Onegai(f): 5:27pm On Nov 08, 2015 |
BleSSedMee: Thanks the diapers (depending on which you get) are not cheap upfront but pay in the long run. If you buy online from the US or UK, you'll get either a free diaper or some other nice gift. Plus they can help. you make choices from a wide variety of styles of diaper (AIO, AI2, pocket, fitted, prefold). |
Re: Moms Get In Here by babygirlfl: 5:33pm On Nov 08, 2015 |
Onegai: Thanks for the information ma'am. What shops online do you buy them from in the uk? |
