5 funny things that happen after your baby arrives.

You become a master of contortion (kind of)!

After months of being unable to bend and having simultaneously developed an unfortunate case of the butter fingers your immediate reaction to dropping anything on the floor will still be to sigh/grunt/roll eyes, until you remember the bump barricade no longer exists and you are free to bend, in fact once you realise this you may find yourself purposely dropping things just so you can demonstrate your kick ass bending skills!

You will pick up ultra cool new nicknames.

Top of this list will more than likely be 'Silly Mummy/Daddy.' As you try and navigate your way around a cycle of feed, change, play, repeat, complicated instructions for baby equipment and welcoming visitors all while keeping your own basic needs met on less sleep than you are used to, you will more than likely become understandably scatterbrained. 

In our case the nicknames are perfectly justified!

"OMG I'm in labour"

 I think this one might depend on how far past your due date/how anxious you were about giving birth (for me it was 3 days/very!!) but any little twinge in your tummy will have you thinking "its go time! Then you will have a labour flashback, call yourself "silly Mummy" and feel grateful that it's all over.

The TV will become redundant.

Bob and I didn't switch the TV on for 5 days after we bought Finn home, the overwhelming love and amazement that he was finally here made it almost impossible to take our eyes off him, we eventually dusted off the remote to show willing, and we may be biased but we still think our little man is much more entertaining than an episode of extras! 

Finn vs Ricky
Hands up if you are the King of comedy!

You identify with Rachel...

...soooo much in this episode of Friends! 

and I'm sure your husbands/boyfriends completely understand Ross' point as well!
