Google is a new mother’s best friend and worst enemy. Especially at 3 A.M. when your baby is attached to your boob for what feels like the millionth time. Here’s just a sample of the *few* things I’ve googled in my sleep-deprived state.

This post made me smile….sometimes being a new parent is like learning a new language and culture all at once….other times you just want someone on hand to tell you the answers you intrinsically know but want support on. 👍
It really is culture shock of sorts! Thank goodness for the internet (sometimes LOL)
Honestly it’s been such a long time since I had a newborn I cannot remember what I googled, I am in the preteen stages now full of searches such as ‘when do hormones kick in’ ‘what to do with puberty in boys’.. a whole new kettle of fish!
I don’t even want to think about that! lol xx
I sent this to my sister who is pregnant with her first and she said she is going to add to this list! Hehe
