What a sweetheart!<br />Secondly, I read this post late at night last night while I was nursing our new little gal (she'll be two weeks on Monday) and the end just made me smile. I know that the Bible says not to worry, but that's hard to do as a mom. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and check to make sure she's breathing. I'll rush to google just to double check that something is normal. It's just all out of love. I think the only thing that keeps me from turning into a worrysome crazy pants is knowing that God is watching over her and he will protect her. I just have to do the best job I can do.Faulkner's Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15535100965512595004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-30266452079719643662013-02-01T16:11:00.821-05:002013-02-01T16:11:00.821-05:00Every one gets easier.

My nine year old drives me batty at the sound of his crying because I'm not fast enough at picking him up. I don't think the child's whimpered for more than 30 seconds!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13793339385629426888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-18258624898861614092013-02-01T15:20:05.237-05:002013-02-01T15:20:05.237-05:00This reminds me of a Luv's commercial I just s...This reminds me of a Luv's commercial I just saw on TV about first time and second time moms. One thing I know about the next time around is I WILL NOT let my husband change our second's diaper every time that stupid yellow line turns the slightest bit blue. I swear we used a box of diapers a day because of him. Also, I will not pack my entire house to take to the hospital. My poor husband looked like a pack mule leaving the hospital with about four bags filled with items I didn't use.

Our daughter was full-term and at her big brother's bowling birthday party at 2 weeks old, his preschool valentines party at a 3 weeks old. Now I am due in about 3.5 weeks with our third and I have some onesies washed and just found the baby socks. No hospital bag packed, still looking for receiving blankets, car seat not in the car. It all works out though.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108413751603857326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-26341193220477721452013-02-01T13:30:23.055-05:002013-02-01T13:30:23.055-05:00I understand this!!!

I did exactly as you did, track everything. Who is going to have time for that with baby #2? A co-worker told me Russian tradition is to not leave for 30 days, Indian is 60! YES, 60!! I went out here and there after 30 days, but Noah didn't leave the house (except doc appointments) for 60 days. I def won't be doing that the next time around. You can still take them out, and protect them. Seriously, Becky, reading your posts and watching your kids interact has totally brought on baby fever. Your blog and another one that I read just have me going crazy! hehe! But I'll wait. I need at least 2 years between the kiddos.
