They try and prepare you for a lot during your 9 months of pregnancy. But a few things I've found the hardest that they don't prepare you for.

1) dealing with a sick baby when your sick yourself- the days of lying in bed with the hottest cup of lemsip (a hot drink for colds) possible a box of tissues and your favourite chick flick are long gone and are replaced with an equally snotty and grumpy baby.

2) the sleepless nights- your consistently telling yourself "maybe he'll sleep all night tonight" at 6 months old I'm STILL up twice a night...walking around life like

3) greasy hair don't care- those days of soft silky hair always clean and tidy...dry shampoo gets used ALOT in this household hair in never out of a very scraped back high bun.

4) the baby grumps- how can something so small and cute have an attitude that puts your pms moodswings to the test...

And finally

5) your dislike for the modern world...
