I thought this would be kinda fun to talk about awkward moments that have happened since your baby came.
I'll go first.. The other night a coworker asked me why there were no pictures on Facebook of my daughter in the outfits she bought us. Umm honestly it's cuz they look like Grandma clothes and I don't want her looking like a grandma. Lols
During LO's 2 month wellness check, the pediatrician checked her diaper area and found a dirty diaper. The look of surprise of the MD's face was comical. I'm sure it's pretty common in their business, though.

I always find it kind of awkward when she gets referred to as "he". I'm more than happy to let it go, but sometimes they're asking a question (like, what's his name, and of course when I say Julie they realize they guessed her sex wrong) or one of the other kids will correct them or I'll refer to her as a pretty girl or something without thinking about it (not being passive aggressive, but just because that's how I talk to her). I almost feel like I'm faking people out sometimes because her blankets are blue (hand me downs from my oldest) and some of her sleepers have a lot of blue in them, so people tend to assume she's a boy based on that, I think, but it's still pretty awkward at times.

@ sweetmelissa5 my best friend had a baby girl in July. She came over to visit shortly after with her baby and my husband pointed to a baby boy on a box we had and said her daughter looked like that baby.. I was like um that's a boy! She has a girl! My friend brushed it off but I'm sure she felt awkward
sweetmelissa5 - DD gets addressed as a boy if she wears blue. I'm not a fan of pink so LO wears yellows, greens, and blues. Also no head bands or bows for her.

My most awkward moment was when someone asked me if I was pregnant again while I was holding lo ... Who was 2 weeks at the time! I wanted to throat punch the lady!
DH had an acquaintance over, an older gentleman whom I've met several times but not spent much time around. We were small-talking before they left, when LO passed some major gas as I was holding her. But no, it wasn't just gas. It was a blowout, and I hadn't noticed the stream of poo all down my shirt. The guy was pointing like, "Um..."
I take LO into our church service with me. Every week he has a super loud poop while we are there. Of course, it always happens during prayers or the sermon, never when the band is playing. Everyone around us laughs, but it is awkward!
Our neighbors/friends had a baby a month after us. For some reason we were talking about wipes and he said, "we hardly use wipes because he doesn't poop all that often!" I was like, uh, I wipe him even if it's just pee....then I felt bad because he got a semi-panicked look on his face. But seriously, am I crazy? Do other people not wipe pee?

Uh, I do! I am pretty sure it's normal to wipe pee

My dad wanted me to show him the breast pump that our insurance company paid for. Thought that was an odd request. he was impressed with the fact it is a double boober

When I went in for LO's 1 month appointment the Pedi was checking on his circumcision. There was a little sticking that I had missed. He told me that the penis head is like Darth Vader's helmet and shouldn't touch all the way around.
I don't know if it's awkward or just annoying but my IL's keep asking if I'm "still breastfeeding". Like they would prefer if I wasn't.
LO is 12 weeks. I'm running out of things to answer them with.
People kept asking me if I was still "doing that breast feeding thing" until DD stopped nursing during the day. She is two and still nursing to go to sleep and when she needs comfort. When people find out they give me the side eye. I'm "that" mom.
