You know there's a newborn in the house because...

The first month with a new baby is a surreal time. There's nothing quite like it. And there are a few hallmarks of life with a newborn. See if you recognise these:

You know there's a newborn in the house when...

...your hair smells of vomit...

...you have to book a time to take a shower...

...you have been in pyjamas for the past two weeks...

...you think it's normal to eat an entire bag of Maltesers whilst nursing at 2am...

...you've read three novels this week...

...your body feels like a deflated waterbed...

...you haven't seen your shoes for days...

...you can swaddled in your sleep...

...you've got a pile of 0-3 month party dresses to return...

...you've no idea what the weather's like...

...you think the dawn chorus means it's time to go to bed...

...you walk around the house with a bottle of water, a bag of Kettle chips and a muslin...

...your laundry just quadrupled...

...you've lost your sense of humour...

...if you can't do a thing one-handed, then you can't do it...

...your boss weighs 3.3kg and has lungs like a hyena's...


That's my list. Which points do you recognise? And tell me -

How do you know there's a newborn in the house?
