5 Hilarious and Absurd Moments from My First Month Postpartum

Hey there, new mamas!

Welcome to the wild ride of motherhood! Your life is now devoted to a tiny human, and that first month postpartum is like a rollercoaster with all its thrilling highs and gut-wrenching lows. One minute you’re melting into blissful snuggles, inhaling that heavenly baby scent, and the next, you’re locked in a fierce battle for a nap that you’re destined to lose. Buckle up, because it’s going to be a bumpy journey!

To remind you that you’re not alone, I’ve put together a list of five ridiculously funny things that happened to me during the first month with my second son. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe feel a little better about your own chaotic experiences. With a newborn and a wild 13-month-old, let’s just say, “this is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!”

1. The Most Embarrassing Incident

Picture this: I’m at Babies “R” Us, and a sneeze sneaks up on me with zero warning. You guessed it—I peed my pants. Mortified? Yes. But did I leave the store? Nope! I had two kids and a mission for formula. Sorry, world, I just had to own it.

2. The Meanest Mom Award Goes To Me

Late-night diaper changes on our bed were a routine. One night, my baby peed without a diaper on, and it hit my husband’s eye, waking him up in pure bewilderment. I stifled my laughter while telling him it was just a bad dream. Ten minutes of giggles ensued—sorry, not sorry!

3. The Queen of Clumsiness

My legs looked like they were in a bruising competition from bumping into everything while on my nighttime quest for bottles. It felt like I was on a misguided episode of The Amazing Race, racing against the backdrop of a screaming baby. Formula spills? Who cares! I just needed to keep moving.

4. The Most Stupidly Lucky Moment Ever

During a renovation frenzy, I found myself alone one morning while both boys were napping. I decided to sneak into the unfinished room to daydream about Pinterest-worthy plans. But when I turned too quickly to check on the baby, I stepped right off the plywood and landed in the garage below. Thankfully, my extra weight cushioned the fall—who knew my postpartum body would come in handy!

5. The Epic ‘Poopcident’

One day, my adorable 1-year-old was fresh out of the tub and decided to play hide-and-seek in his closet. Just as I felt proud of my little genius, he turned beet red and pooped on the carpet—while looking me dead in the eye. What followed was a chaotic wrestling match to clean him up, resulting in a full-on poop disaster. I had no choice but to unleash my inner superhero to get him into clean clothes while he giggled through the madness.

So, to all my fellow mamas, don’t worry—there’s a bright side amidst the chaos! Between these outrageous days, you’ll find some of the best moments of your life. Just remember, you have to let the crazy happen, laugh it off, and keep moving forward.
