5 Common Mistakes - First Time Moms

Over the years, I have noticed common mistakes that mothers-to-be make while waiting for their first child. Becoming a mother is such an overwhelming experience that it's easy to lose track of some realities, and you may end up with a few false expectations about your child, his future, the problems you might encounter and how to manage it all.

I wanted the best but I was sensible. I knew my baby would be perfect for us no matter what flaws she had, though. I didn't buy everything new. We got tons of hand-me-downs and i bought her bassinet and more off of craigslist. I also when to pregnancy centers and they helped out with maternity clothes, baby clothes, toys, diapers, and more! I thought it would take forever to get back into shape and it is :(

I do think i am a super mom lol. I have my quirks but by, golly, am i SUPER! and I am a bit of a control freak.
Not sure if I passes the test. LOL ^_^
