A mom’s google search history is proof enough that motherhood is a tough job. Raise your hand if you’ve ever googled any of the following:

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 12.43.49 PMI totally googled this because I was anxious for my husband to feel what I was feeling.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 12.45.56 PMI really tried not to obsess over weight gain while pregnant, but I found it difficult not to compare my stats to other women, which sometimes left me bummed out. I gained a total of 35 lbs during my first pregnancy. We’ll see what happens this time around!

Screen Shot 2016-03-16 at 1.18.27 PMDo yourself a favor and DON’T google this one if you haven’t. Don’t get me wrong, I totally appreciate the miracle of birth, but some images are left better to the imagination in my opinion.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 12.51.08 PMI never fully figured this one out. I became dependent on the SwaddleMe.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 12.52.53 PMIt happens to the best of us.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 12.53.46 PMSeriously…WHEN?

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 12.54.27 PMOr, green, or blue? The amount I talk about poop is a little ridiculous.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.32.57 PMIs this why she’s fussy? Please, answers!

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.34.12 PMI never got a straight answer on this one, but I think yes.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.35.17 PMIn those early months when my babe just wanted boob, I seriously wondered if she had something against her dad. Luckily, that was not the case. She just always wanted to eat.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.35.53 PMCould this be what it is? Dr. Google is a mom’s best friend.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.37.37 PMI could never remember this.

Screen Shot 2016-03-15 at 2.38.37 PMIs it milk? Gluten? What could be making my child feel icky?!

Screen Shot 2016-03-16 at 1.09.58 PMPssttt: I’ll let you in on a little secret. Nine months on, at least nine months for it to come off.

Screen Shot 2016-03-16 at 1.11.58 PMMine did not go away until about 6 months postpartum. It drove me CRAZY.

Big ouch.

Screen Shot 2016-03-16 at 1.14.14 PMI had an overacted letdown, so my little one would not be able to keep up with all of the milk. It eventually all worked out, but it was not a fun time.

Screen Shot 2016-03-16 at 1.15.28 PMWe had sleep issues in the beginning, and received the advice to cry it out. We tried it, and no one got more sleep. But…it did work. Still always wondered if I was damaging her.
