We need to laugh....

We have been pretty serious the last couple of weeks.  The current events and our daily responsibilities as excellent parents can weigh us down.  Let's take a moment to laugh.

Yes, parenthood changes everything. But parenthood also changes with each baby. Here are some of the ways having a second and third child differs from having your first:

Your Clothes

1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy. 
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible. 
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes.

Preparing for the Birth

1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously. 
2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing. 
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.

Pacifier

1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it. 
2nd baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby's bottle. 
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.

Sleeping

1st baby: Sleeps in your bedroom for the first six - eight weeks 
2nd baby: Sleeps in your bedroom for the first two weeks 
3rd baby: Goes right from the hospital nursery into their own room.
