The village is there for the vibes.

Nothing says “here if you need” like rocking up unannounced, disrupting the routine, dirtying some dishes and then ducking out when the baby starts crying.'

They say it takes a village… but what they forget to tell you is that the village can kind of be annoying.

Look, we’re not being ungrateful. Mostly, we’re just really bored & tired.

Feeding is weirdly high stakes…

Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding or dare we say it bottle feeding, everyone’s got an opinion on how to do it better.

The fun thing about giving your baby nutrients is that it’s uniquely cooked for every individual.

And don’t even get us started on breast pumps.

Just because you had a baby, doesn’t mean Barbie didn’t just come out.

You know what’s a totally fun and not at all terrifying experience? Taking your first dump after giving birth.

It can basically only be topped by your first post-birth shower, which looks more like a crime scene than a shampoo commercial.

Today we’re debriefing on the many firsts that come after birthing your bub, including Jessie’s pilgrimage to the Barbie movie.

I don't mean to be rude, but who tf are you?

Let's be honest, giving birth is like the most intense first date ever.

You show up at the designated place nervously excited to meet your date, only for them to show up late and basically whinge the whole time.

And then you're obligated to be with them. For the next 18 years.

So what were our first reactions to our new babies? And maybe more importantly... what were their first impressions of us?
