I just keep coming back to the fact that babies are people - and every person is different.<br />Harry Potter is the only movie we've seen in theaters since Brandt was born, too!<br />Now that Brandt's almost a year, I find myself dwelling a lot on the questions of how and when there will be siblings.andreajenninehttp://entrusted.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-62829416500128064082011-03-09T20:27:56.111-06:002011-03-09T20:27:56.111-06:00Thank you, Stacey, for speaking truth.

Thankfully -We've had months if not years of practice dealing with people's advice. <br /><br />So happy for your little blessing!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14426848699869302758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-33207095390452404312011-03-06T16:57:10.234-06:002011-03-06T16:57:10.234-06:00Thankyou Stacey for posting this I really enjoyed ...Thankyou Stacey for posting this I really enjoyed it. The " myths" you get told as a mum/expectant mum are the same over here is Australia as I have heard several of the ones you mentioned. I also noticed as a new mum the way it tends to be a race or a measurement of your skills as a mum that your baby is sleeping through the night. People started asking me when Xavier was only a few weeks old whether he was sleeping through yet. It makes you feel really unworthy when you have to keep saying no. As for the " never seeing another movie or reading another book again" I got told that a lot! A family member even went so far as to send out her wedding invitations, but instead of sending one to my husband and I, she sent us a note saying she did not invite us as we are expecting a baby soon and she realises "attending a wedding might be too hard". We were extremely offended and since then it is a running joke in our family that when you have a baby you also catch leprosy that makes you unable to have contact with other people anymore lol. xoxoxoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01096902250822877820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-8371868678425769122011-03-05T17:08:47.957-06:002011-03-05T17:08:47.957-06:00I'm always amused (once I have a moment to thi...I'm always amused (once I have a moment to think rationally about it) at how some people think all pregnancies or miscarriages or births or babies are like theirs. I am not exempted from this group--I've definitely fallen in the "try this, it always works" trap myself.<br /><br />Now that we have two (quite different) children, I hope I'm better about suggesting things that "might" work or have been effective "for our family"--or at least waiting until my advice is requested in the first place. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865645292824953080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-54271053556163754822011-03-04T00:23:55.937-06:002011-03-04T00:23:55.937-06:00Ah the wonders of advice, love that one about brea...Ah the wonders of advice, love that one about breastfeeding and sleeping through!!<br />Yhe only advice I'll ever give as a veteran Mum is "Don't accept advice"Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421069895155350144noreply@blogger.com
