Funny stuff!

A good friend of mine from Harding sent me the following and due to our recent findings, I am really relating to this!

BIRTH ORDER OF CHILDREN

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 because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing. 3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your eighthmonth
______________________________________________________
The Baby clothes:
1st baby: You pre-wash newborn's clothes, colour co-ordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?_____________________________________________________
Worries:
1st baby: At the first sign of distress--a whimper, a frown--you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your three-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing

Dummies: (Pacifier)
1st baby: If the dummy falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and sterilise it.

3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.

3rd child: When third child swallows a coin you deduct it from his allowance!_____________________________________________________




By the way, this baby is lucky that he is going to have a name. We came up with Toby Landon. We were at the zoo on Tuesday with the boys (looking at the ocelots) and Shawn suggested Toby. I was shocked because I have always loved that name. When I brought it up before (before Levi was born), he told me he didn't like it. So there it was - before we even got to the next animal we had our name. Since we found out, the name Landon has really been sticking in my head, but Shawn thought it sounded a little too high falutin (how on earth do you spell that?) for someone in our family. But he let me keep it for the middle name. I think it sounds really good!
We have a picture from our first ultrasound hanging in the boys playroom. Ayden talks about baby Toby all the time now - he's really excited. And Levi points to the picture every time we walk past it. We are all just so syked about him! God is good!

Well better go. Have a great weekend!
