Man. Oh, man. Day 21... think I'll make it to Day 30? I swear, when this NaBlo-blah, blah is over, I'm taking a BREAK!
Today's thanks is short. I'm grateful that now that a few of my friends have had or are pregnant with their second child, the parenting bar was been lowered... and I mean waaaaay low.
Gone are the days of thumbing through our dog-eared copies of Dr Sears' The Baby Book or reaching for The Happiest Baby on the Block... Anything goes, provided it gets your new baby to sleep through the night and not wake up the older kid... No judgment. No guilt. No criticism.
Your kid doesn't go to bed until 11... Rock on! You can party with my kid!
Your daughter hasn't been weened off the boob, yet... Cool.
Sleeps in your bed...
Eats M&Ms daily...
Still not potty trained...
None of you know baby sign language!?
Hey, whatever gets your through the day!
And a general sigh of relief is felt around the land.

I think John Lennon's song "Whatever Gets You Through the Night is ALRIGHT" applies here. :) only 9 more days to go until your break. :)
I hear you. What was I thinkin' signing up for Nablahblahblah? Yes, the approach changes when baby #2 comes into the picture...All bets are off!
I don't know how you nablopomo-ers are doing it...

You've been doing great for the Nablahx3.
I can't imagine what life will be like if I had another child. This one is still clinging to me all the time!
So true. So very true indeed! :)

You think stuff changes for baby number 2, shit gets REALLY blown out of the park by number 4.
I would have never dreamed to give a baby of mine some chocolate before year 1. I nearly killed my grandmother when she gave my firstborn a bite of chocolate cake before HIS first birthday.
In September we went to this little alpine village that has a great fudge factory. Can you guess what I was happily popping into Davey's face? Yup, fudge. LOL
with two, you do what you need to do to make it through the day and keep your sanity. with three, like me, you do what you need to do to make it through the day alive.
ahahahahah!
