Apparently. :lol:

So besides what you posted on the blog, are you doing ok? How are things going?

I'm more mentally shaken about this whole thing than anything else. I had TOTALLY convinced myself that it was NOT going to happen. I was completely sold on having an only child, and told myself all the benefits of being such. If I didn't do that, then if it turned out we couldn't have another kid, then I'd be okay with it. I didn't want to try, and be horribly dissappointed.

So I was floored when we found out. Just completely taken by surprise. It wasn't supposed to happen!

Now I'm remembering all the not so pleasent things about the whole first year/newborn thing that I had thought I'd never have to deal with again. The no sleep, the pumping, the no sleep, the toddling stage, the no sleep, the shoving chokable things in their mouth thing, the no sleep...:lookaroun

You are going to be wonderful! And yes, you have to do the not so fun parts to with the whole pregnancy stuff...

But I mean...I can only hope we will get another episode of Dot looking for chicken while you're in labor again...that's comedy gold!!!


Seriously....You are going to be great at having 2. Although the no sleep thing does suck. :lol:

Yeah, but I'm not as strong as you are! :cry:

Me strong? :lookaroun No, just kept working on the one-day-at-a-time approach. I felt the same away when we found out we were expecting again - we had tried for three years before Ab was conceived, and had the same outlook about trying again as you did. Two months later :shrug: It helps that Anya will have her preschool to keep her busy, it will help her with the adjustment as much as you. Plus she'll have something that's all her own, y'know? Abby was a bit older than Anya when Joel was born (getting ready to enter kindergarten), so I jumped right into the stay-at-home mom is always in the car :lol:

That's true. It will be good that Anya will have school to occupy part of your time while you're getting used to having a second one.

Of course I'll be blogging though labor. :lol: Although I would hope Dot would have learned her lesson though :lookaroun

I'm glad she's got school, and that it'll happen after the first half of the year is under her belt. That way she doesn't feel abandoned or anything at school while the little one stays home with Mommy.

I'm just sad that she's finally at the stage where I can leave her alone in a room for a few minutes and do something somewhere else.. and now I have to go through it all over again!

Yeah...not to send George out to buy chicken. :lol:



And I can understand how you'd be sad about that...but just think, in 3 years, you'll be able to do it again...:lookaroun I don't think that helped. :lol:

Bun, when are you due? :)

Somewhere mid-December. I'm praying that my "earlier" due date of the 12th is correct, and not the 21st like my doctor says. NO WAY am I going to be in the hospital over Christmas.:eek: *knocks on wood*

It's kind of a long convoluted story (and I know the thread's around here somewhere...maybe a search of chicken and labor...:lol: )

But, when Bun was in labor with Anya, that night, Dot had to cook dinner for someone...she was making some chicken dish and her hubby went and bought the wrong chicken...instead of , he got chicken strips I think...so Dot was freaking out asking how the heck to cook the chicken...

The ironic part was the person who could have told her was in the hospital...in labor. :lol:

Oh, let's see....Bun was sending updates to us during her labor with Anya, so we all kept checking in throughout the day. Dot was having company over for dinner that night and was freaking out because George brought home the wrong chicken for what she wanted to make...it made quite a humorous diversion while we were killing time. :lol::lol:

Poor Dot....:lol:


And Stephie, I can't find your post to tell you hi, because everytime I try to get it to take me back it takes me back to the top of the page. So, this is my long drawn out way of saying hi....:lol:
