Something that I recently discovered, having just had a baby, is that I no longer get any presents.
People SAY that they are giving me the gifts, when in fact, they are for the baby. Its very disappointing.
Take my mother for example - she keeps telling me that she is sending me something and gets me all excited and I look forward to the parcel arriving. Not much happens once you have had a baby so anything is exciting. The parcel arrives. I tear the paper off, my trembling fingers ripping through the layers, only to find - a small knitted jumper. Or a small pink blanket. Or a small pair of socks.
Not that I am not grateful for these generous gifts.
But it sort of ruins my buzz.
