And now a word from an experienced parent...

As if I wasn't scared enough about being a parent, every now and again I'll get little blurbs like this sent to me:

"Once you have 2 kids, you will NEVER sleep again. Think carefully about this before you decide to have a second. My proof – Kid 2 has now slept through the night the last 3 nights in a row. After 9.5 months, this is very, very, very exciting news. Except guess who has decided to wake up in the middle of the night the last 3 nights just to torture me? (Kid 1). The first 2 nights she had nightmares and it was sad b/c she was so scared so it took awhile to calm her down and get her back to sleep so I don’t mind being there for her. Last night however, she woke up because she wanted water. And then she woke up because she wanted to call Uncle 1. The next time, it was to call Uncle 2. And the next time, it was because she DIDN’T want a banana for breakfast. If you decide to have 2, you can never say I didn’t warn you."

  1. Yes.. and I'll save my comments until you're back to feeling a little more confident. Let me know when that is and I'll recount the story of how (Number1) threw-up in my mouth over the weekend and (Number 2) aptly named, had a number 2 explosion in my bed!!
