I’m not one to hold a grudge. For very long anyways. So when I heard about this virtual baby shower I was a little disheartened that I wasn’t mentioned. Because: Dude, I’m due one day before HerBadMother and two days before ChickyChickBaby and Mrs. Chicken? Long before her. As hard as it is to find love in the Blogosphere sometimes it’s even harder to have everyone notice and recognize. (For some reason I just had the urge to go all gangster “Yo, u bettah reckognize, beotch”) You just can’t win ‘em all.
Ahem.
Now that that is out of my system, I digress.
I love all three of these ladies so much there’s no way in hell I could let my petty hormonal bitchiness stop me from congratulating them and wishing them many sleepless nights and poopy diapers a slow and painful delivery wonderful memories with their newly growing family.
I wish more then anything that I had some ass-vice for you but, I don’t. I wish I could tell you that the second one was way easier, but I don’t know that just yet. And even wish I could tell you that your older children can be bribed into diaper changes and see the joy in getting everything for you as you sit in front of the television nursing your new bundle injured lady bits. But I don’t know that either. (But Lawd I pray Carter will change a shit or two for me.)
I expect that all of you will undoubtedly succeed beyond my wildest dreams and I take comfort in knowing that I will be right along side you wonderful gals learning and growing as parents to children. Plural.
Wow. More then one.
Children.
That word has never freaked me out more then it did right now.

You are due so soon! Do you have a name picked out? Not that you have to share it here, if you do,(or maybe you already have), but I am just (nosy, which I like to call) endlessly curious.

It’s been so long since I had the first two (18 months apart) that I honestly couldn’t tell you anything helpful. And this has been your useless comment of the day.

You will be fine hon. I’m more than happy to give you advice. Though I’ve never had a toddler and a newborn. Ryan was 4 when Kyle was born….and it was nice since he was old enough to do things on his own.
You will be a great mom of two!

Good luck on baby number 2! I wait 11 years before I had another one and it’s worked out great for us. It’s like having two only children who actually get along with each other beautifully! Plus I have free baby sitting service. You cracked me up with your “well wishes” to the other expecting moms so I’ll definitely be back for more.
By the way, I found your blog through DadGoneMad. I’ve posted a complete list of everyone who left their blog link in a post called Blog Rolling With My Homies over on my blog, so if you want to see it come on over and sit a spell. I don’t bite..…that hard anyway!

I really thought of commenting that they should add you too!!! I mean to leave out Sam, Pulease! Hope everything is still going nicely. Baby 2 is a pain, 3 year olds don’t do diapers. Meither do 10 and 13 year olds. Just kidding. It gets easier.

There are no two scarier words in the English language to a woman pregnant w/ her second child than “kids” and “children”.
Well, except maybe “natural childbirth.”
