I totally could have written this, though I have NO patience for walking/rocking/bopping, so you are actually a better parent than I am. ;)    On the upside, they're probably not going to remember this. Really, if how we...

All I can think is, "Wow. That is going to be SO EASY." ;)

Well, just because your husband wouldn't choose to do the dishes until they piled up, doesn't mean he won't actually do them. I'd guess that if you talked to him and he was willing to help (as he should be!), you'd be able to let him...

I didn't hesitate to have twins at home. In my mind, twins are just another aspect of normal birth. They're not *that* unusual in the grand scheme of things (1 in 80 pregnancies is spontaneous twins, I remember reading). I wasn't...
