There is one thing that I can honestly say, and that is “Nothing can fully prepare you for motherhood”! No one can explain how your heart will softly sigh when you hold your baby for the first time or the fact that a few sleepless nights will make you into a crazy woman. While every second is absolutely worth it, I think we can all admit that we have been surprised a time of two.
In honor of Mother’s Day and the release of the much anticipated movie “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”, Baby Magic conducted a survey of moms that reveals that the reality of motherhood is very different than the expectation. Here are a few of their findings:
Regardless of how prepared moms were for motherhood, more than half (51%) still found themselves in surprising situations they hadn’t anticipated. Unexpected curveballs and situations provided the biggest surprises (and embarrassments!). The moms surveyed had no shortage of examples, including:
· Water, water everywhere – all over the bathroom floor (57%)
· A poop explosion covering baby’s clothes (42%)
· “Unidentified” diaper smells (34%)
I can admit to having a few of these surprises myself and many more! Baby Magic helped me clean up many of those crazy embarrassing moments and their gift baskets are the perfect way to help new moms cope with their unexpected moments.
Here is some information about Baby Magic Gift Baskets from their site: Baby Magic Gift Baskets are the perfect welcome home gift for a new baby and mommy. The soothing effects of lavender in the Calming Baby Bath will help relax a stressed-out new mommy, and the familiar scent of Baby Magic Gentle Baby Lotion in Original Scent rubbed on baby’s legs will send a new grandmommy over the moon with sweet memories.
