My First Mistake I Made As A First Time Mommy

As I had much time during my recovery after surgery (still recovering) I had time to think about my blog. Dangerous right? I want my blog to start taking a specific direction...A Mommy/Parenting blog. So I started my research and planning and small overhaul on my blog design if you haven't already noticed. So I can up with the best Mommy post to start off my Mommy blog with.

My First Mistake I Made As A First Time Mommy

I have to admit I made this mistake while I was pregnant in my third trimester. I still consider it my first ever Mommy mistake though. Our Daughter was due In later September therefore I had to bare the heat of the summer. I had long hair and could no longer take it. Off to the hair stylist I went. I chopped my hair off...literally. It no longer even sat on my shoulders just a little on my neck. I was so in love with my new Mommy hair cut. I flaunted it with my pregnant belly where ever we went. As the days continued on I started to really miss my long locks of hair. One night I literally cried over my first mistake I have made as a first time Mommy; chopping my hair off. I then made a pack with myself I would not go to those extreme measures again. Good thing hair grows right? 

You would have thought I learned my lesson. Nope! Two and a half years later  after welcoming our second Daughter  into the world, I couldn't get to the hair stylist fast enough again. What was wrong with me?! I thought I knew better? The next day I cried. I kept telling myself "It's just hair, it will grow back." Again I cut it super short. My Husband was not thrilled, but failed to mention it till way after the fact. Maybe he could of saved me form destroying my hair after having our first two Daughters, Ha ha! By the time our third Daughter arrived I decided to color my hair instead of cutting. It was a much better choice for me. Although now I am thinking of going back to my original color just like in these pictures.

What is the first ever Mommy mistake you have made? Was your hair? Did you make it again like I did with your second?

Have You Ever As A Parent....

So I thought I would start a little serious once in a while about the truth of parenting.  Those moments as a parent when you draw a blank or forget something, you get my drift? 

By the time I had my third daughter I felt like my brain has disappeared. Literally like aliens came and stole it in my sleep. Of course I'm joking about the aliens! For example, back in March I had called my daughters pediatricians office to set up her yearly check up. While setting up the appointment, the scheduler asked for my child's name. No problem I gave it to her instantly. Next she asked for my daughters birth date. I start answering with March fourteen...um. As I'm thinking to myself am I seriously drawing a blank what year my daughter was born?! As there was a pause on the phone I finally answered with 2010. Wow I just gave her the wrong year that my daughter was born. I then quickly reply with the correct year. By this point I felt beyond stupid and could imagine what the lady on the other side of the phone was thinking. I proceeded to tell her that I had three daughters and it's sometimes hard to get their birthdays strait. I'm sure that didn't help either. At least she laughed after and said I totally agree with you. Ah, a sigh of relief. She doesn't think I'm a nut case after all. I couldn't help but laugh at myself once I hung up the phone. 

I have had many more of these moments than I like to admit. But lets admit it, parenting can be crazy and hectic at times. It would only make sense to have a scatter brain once in a while. 

What was something you forgot as a parent??
