You Know You're a First Time Parent When...

The other day at the store, I was talking to the lady behind me in line when she said, "This must be your fist baby."  What gave me away?  I like to think that I just look too young to have more than one child.  But I'm pretty sure there are some other major giveaways.

You know you're a first time parent when...

• You have 10 books on how to raise your baby and you try to simultaneously follow the advice from all of them
• Instead of just letting your baby cry in the store, you stop to sing 5 Little Ducks 
• You not only sing 5 Little Ducks, you do it in sign language, too
• You call the doctor the first time your baby sleeps 8 hours to make sure nothing's wrong
• You insist that your child will not eat any junk food until she's 5 
• You actually stop and listen when strangers offer advice
• You start every other sentence with, "The book says..."

And perhaps the most telling...you still have time to write a blog :)
