Baby Sayings about First, Second, and Third Babies

I found this and it had me laughing. I hope all you mothers enjoy.

Having a new baby changes everything. But the way you handle being a parent also changes with each new baby. Here are some new baby sayings about the ways having a second and third child is different from having your first.

Preparing for Birth
FIRST BABY: She practices breathing religiously.
SECOND BABY: She doesn’t bother practicing because she remembers the last time, breathing didn’t do a thing.
THIRD BABY: She asks for an epidural in the 8th month.

Clothes of the Mom-to-Be
FIRST BABY: She begins wearing maternity clothes as soon as the OB/GYN confirms the pregnancy.
SECOND BABY: She wears her regular clothes for as long as possible.
THIRD BABY: Maternity clothes ARE her regular clothes.

Worries
FIRST BABY: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown – the parents pick up the baby.
SECOND BABY: They pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake the firstborn.
THIRD BABY: They teach the 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

The Layette
FIRST BABY: The newborn’s clothes are carefully pre-washed with special delicate detergent, color-coordinated, and folded neatly in the baby’s little bureau.
SECOND BABY: She checks to make sure that the clothes are clean and discards only the ones with the darkest stains.
THIRD BABY: Boys can wear pink, can’t they?

Diapering
FIRST BABY: The baby’s diapers are changed every hour, whether they need it or not.
SECOND BABY: The diaper is changed every 2 to 3 hours, if needed.
THIRD BABY: The parents try to time the changing of diapers before others start to complain about the smell or it starts sagging to the knees.

Pacifier
FIRST BABY: If the pacifier falls on the floor, they put it away until they can go home and wash and boil it.
SECOND BABY: When the pacifier falls on the floor, they squirt it off with some juice from the baby’s bottle.
THIRD BABY: A quick wipe off on the shirt and just pop it back in.

Happy Birthday

We wanted to wish our BIL Chuck a Happy Birthday Today. He is married to James' older sister and has 4 beautiful daughters. He is a really great husband and father. We hope you have a great birthday.

Halloween Fun Early

We had are ward party yesterday. And the superhero's made an appearance. Jakob was so excited to be Batman this year and since Kaeden is his sidekick we thought it only fitting for him to be Robin. We had a lot of fun and the boys are more excited for Halloween now that they've worn their costumes in public.

A nice getaway......

James won a gift certificate to Sundance last Christmas, and the certificate expired at the end of November. So we decided to use it this last weekend. Thanks to my mother for watching the boys overnight.

James and I were able to enjoy an overnight stay at Sundance it was nice to have dinner together and be able to have an uninterrupted conversation and to be able to sleep in.

Sometimes I miss those days. But then I come home and I get to see them and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

It's a BIG one..........

Jakob went fishing with James today and he caught his first fish and reeled it in all by himself. James recorded this video of him reeling it in. It had me laughing.

Reminiscing.....

With all the talk of Hurricane Ike, I have been thinking about all my friends in Houston. And how I miss them (yes Lyn you were right) I made some really good friends in Houston and I'm grateful for the opportunity that I had to live there and get to know all of them including these amazing ladies.

Also including Jean who wasn't present that day. You guys made my Wed. nights. Miss you all...........................................
