Post Partum Humor

You don’t have to be a parent to know that becoming one is a journey unlike any other – one filled with laughs, cries, and the occasional projectile poo. Every hour can be full of new experiences that bring with them many lessons. We’ve compiled some of these good, the bad, and the outright smelliest new parenting experiences in hopes of sharing a giggle or two!

Sure, giving birth and taking care of my baby was super relaxing and refreshing, like a vacation at the spa…. ? #newmom #backtowork #notfromvacation

If you don’t poke your peacefully sleeping child at a red light to make sure they’re still alive, do you really even care? ?? #areyoubreathing #sorryimparanoid #butreallyareyoubreathing #momma #newmom

Mom’s holding Harvey above her head and roughing him up, what’s the worst that could happen? ?? **Kinda gross, but hilarious! Also, we call him “Dent” for short, after Harvey Two Face Dent from Batman, who he’s named after. #HarveyFerguson

I really want to be back in shape after this baby but I swear I’m still having these pregnancy cravings and need all things chocolate right now. Thank god for the person who dipped a strawberry in chocolate. That’s like a healthy indulgence right? ?? . . And the best ones I’ve ever had are from @sharisberries Seriously y’all, I wanted them for Valentine’s Day and the husband didn’t listen but the collab gods heard my cries and now I get them and get to #sharetheberries with you.
