4. Cry Me a River: Decoding Tears

Babies have an extensive vocabulary dedicated solely to crying. Hungry? Cry. Tired? Cry. Bored at a social function? Double Cry. While they can't communicate like we do, you're slowly becoming fluent in this new language. Grab a cozy corner, sip some herbal tea, and channel your inner detective because you're about to crack the case of the mysterious wails.

Channel your inner Sherlock—without the deer-stalker hat.

5. To Swaddle or Not to Swaddle

Swaddle like a pro or let those tiny hands roam free? It’s the debate that packs a punch. Swaddling is like that snug burrito wrap—comforting and terrifyingly tight. Your baby might love it or prefer to power stretch like a mini-yogi. Either way, you're doing great!

Swaddling: The baby wrap that doubles as an Olympic sport.

6. Daytime Pajamas, Nighttime L oungewear

Your middle section is a badge of honor, a testament to a job well done. And just like those posh celebrities, you're rocking it in your Mum Tum leggings. Because honestly, who has time to suck in their stomach when you're this fabulous?

"Bump, tumor, womb—whatever you call it, rock it."

8. Spit-Up Couture: Trend of the Season

Some call it a hazard, but we call spit-up chic. There's nothing quite like adding a splash of milky white to your black tee. But girl, rock it like it’s runway-worthy! Toss on a statement necklace and your best "I woke up like this" hair and you're unstoppable.

The only white you're slaying is spit-up. Own it.

9. Baby Naming: Hurry It Up, Intern!

Deciding on the perfect baby name is so last trimester. But if you're still test-driving different names, don't worry—babies respond to "Cute One" and "Little Bean" just as enthusiastically as their given name.

If Beyoncé can name her baby Blue, you're golden to name yours Lime.

10. Remember: You're Enough

Even amid the chaos of burp cloths and lullabies, remember you're doing more than okay. While it's easy to forget priorities when your schedule is baby-driven, know you’re acing the test of time, love, and care. You're rocking motherhood, one happy tear, and tantrum at a time.

Just breathe and remember, you are an uncredited Marvel superhero.
