Ms. Know it All

Wednesday at work, a coworker was back in the office after her maternity leave. Still on my baby high I wanted to welcome her back. I asked the typical questions: What's his name? How much does he weigh? How is he sleeping? yada, yada, yada.

I then proceed to offer my advice on all the topics saying things like: Once he hits 12-13 pounds, he'll start sleeping much longer. Oh, 12 weeks old? He'll hit his growth spurt soon! Eating every 3 hours? Well that all changes - you just wait!

I love mommy-talk and offering my advice - makes me feel good to know that my experience may be helping someone else.

My coworker then politely tells me this is not her first child. Ooops! Insert foot in mouth.
