As soon as you think it won't happen to you, it does. Children are unpredictable especially when you think you're in control. There will always be surprises just around the corner.
Your child may scream in a restaurant and cause you to leave without eating. They may have a poopy diaper in public and you don't have any clean ones. You may have a planned day out with a friend and you wake up to a fever of 100 degrees. Unexpected and embarassing moments are in your future with children. The best thing to tell yourself is "it's all going to be okay."
Some of the memories I have are trying to cope with exploding newborn diapers and dare I say vomit in the crib. Cleaning up messes can be nerve racking and gross at the same time. After it was all over I felt as though I had accomplished a big task, and hopefully ready for more in the future.
I have learned that as soon as I say "that won't happen to me"... it does. I hear comments from other experienced moms who tell me what to expect. I hope and pray sometimes that my little girl won't do those things, but if she does I will tell myself "it's all going to be okay."
