new born when i cant even take care of a 3
year old for one day!!!!

all kids are a handful, if u met me
before i had my daughter with just my son
youd wonder why in the heck i was pregnant
again lmao. Its not as bad as i thought
though, but babysitting does wear ya out.
Yesterday i had my friends 2 yr old and 9
mth old , and then i have my 2 yr old and
6 mth old but my daughter slept most of
the time. the other 3 were up.

oh i just hope i can handle this!!!
Maybe its because i'm just not used to
being around and entertaining toddlers!?
Once this baby is born i dont think a
sibling will be coming along any time
soon. I'm only 26 after all, got a few
more years left in me to think about more
children.

daughter when i had her, but we made it
out ok  She's now 6

Children have this interesting way of
"breaking you in". they start out as
squally little newborns who cry quitely
and sleep all the time. Very gradually,
almost without you realizing it, they get
bigger, heavier, and louder. All of a
sudden you wake up one day and your five
year old is yelling at the top of her
lungs with the decibel strength enough to
shake your bowels. They lull you into
this little sense of ease and security
when you need it most-as a new parent-and
then they shatter your spinal column after
you have grown strong and stoic.

yeah that's why babies sleep so much. i
definitely need breaking in. i had a 2
year old to babysit a while back and i was
a bundle of nerves. but there aren't a
lot of things on the list of what babies
need. just warmth and comfort and food
and love. they get more complicated as
they get older, lol. even the diaper
changing thing. if i had to start on a 2
year old i would be gagging all the time
 but
baby poop is supposed to be a little less
smelly to start out with if you
breastfeed. they've thought of
everything!

I don't think Alyvia got the "take it easy
on Mommy at first" memo.
She's a bit of a firecracker.

I think doctors call that "spirited" LOL
She should team up with Hannah. They
could re-take Omaha Beach. Two bald girls
conquering the world together! Look Out!

true: "No matter how much washing you do,
children are always inherrently sticky"
