Let's discuss the things they don't tell you in books about being a first time mom. Experienced moms please weigh in. I'll do my best to remember how awkward and terrifying those first weeks are.
THINGS NOBODY TELLS YOU
1) You will become a poop expert!
2) Your baby WILL have a blowout, most likely in public, so bring extra clothes or a blanket. You can torture your child with the story when they are a teenager.
I will add more as I remember them. Please feel free to add your own.
My son was taken from me yesterday only being 5 and a half months old. I will miss him so much his death is still unknown but will know more hopefully soon. RIP Michael
Seeing the Texas moms picture at their one year outing.. Made me want to try it! I'm in Northeast, Pa! Any mommies in or around the area (ny, nj, eastern pa, etc.) want to try something similar? We could meet at a zoo or state park, etc. But we would have to meet before one year or after because winters are long and cold here!
Hello everyone, I'm a ftm and we are planning a vacation trip to the ocean! It's a 14 hour drive from Chicago to Maryland! I am wondering if you have any tips or advice for a long trip or bringing baby to the beach. I've never had her in the sun for too long and so far we have an umbrella thing to keep her in the shade but I don't have anything to keep her cool.
I've seen pictures of some of your trips camping and to the beach with your lo so I'm wondering how it went!
I'll take any advice. Materials to bring, your own experiences, anything helps

We are taking a 10 hr ride to vacation in OBX next weekend. I bought a beach tent on Amazon for $35. It's called the little wonders baby hut. It's wonderful because it pops open and twists closed in two seconds and has a small little bag. Great for lo to keep in the shade and nap in. Also we are bringing a very little pool for lo and will put buckets of ocean water in to keep lo entertained because he loves to be in the pool at home. Also bought that on amazon for $6. It's tiny enough and it's called the Intex Sunset Glow baby pool. Love amazon. Great deals. Lol
