Aunt B can’t wait, but I don’t want to be great Aunt, lets come up with something way cooler than Great Aunt B! You and Chris will be great parents and kids are totally worth all that stuff you mentioned. I love every minute of being a Mom, ok, well most minutes considering Hilary is still on the payroll! Watch out for the Best gene, its a doosy!

Robert (my new baby) turns two months old tomorrow, so I can verify with relatively fresh recall that it is all true! The icepack inside the granny panties, while disturbing before birth, will feel like the best thing that ever happened to you. Sadly, the pooping is true too, and I ALMOST didn’t care by that point. But they are right, the memory kinda fades away and it is totally worth it. Besides, it is your responsibility to the world to make sure that awesome hair gets passed on to the next generation.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one with babies on the brain. I’m going to try to make it through my honeymoon without getting knocked up (because how cliche is that) but once we get back, all bets are off.

Also, I read this shiznit earlier today: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/22/AR2010022203639.html?nav=rss_email/components

And although you’re younger than me, it almost scared my pants off. Which is why I’m now researching ways to make my uterus a more open and welcoming place.

Yes, I’m crazy.

You forget all that “stuff” after you give birth and see that wonderful baby. Of course, the second time around you think “I remember now – what the hell was I thinking!” You three kids were worth every single thing your dad and I went through. And a.eye is right – you will be an awesome mom. And I plan on being an awesome grandma (however, I do prefer not to be 85 by time it happens). And don’t forget – twins run in the family. What do you think I was thinking after Jake was born (oh crap – I have to do this again!)

I have had the same thoughts when some one close to me gets pregnant or has a little baby. Then I go back to teaching and it is like more birth control than I am already on. If only I could have a baby when it is able to interact with people and keep it under the age of maybe 4-5 forever, I would be cool.

Though I do want to pop out a shorty some time soon. I think you will be a great mom! And that you will make some killa school lunches and sleep over food for your children, too.

As a first time pregnant lady, I can verify the bad gas and need for granny panties, even before the baby comes. Errr, and, uh…discharge. Yeah. Moving on. However, I haven’t puked once, and have really not been very sick at all. Which only proves that every pregnancy is different, so you can’t really assume that being pregnant=puking your guts out.

Oh, and the tearing thing has me a bit wigged out, even though several new moms who did tear during delivery tell me it’s not that bad. Bascuse me?!?! C-section sounds preferable! (Though I am going to try to go au natural. GULP.) Oh, and I was mighty disturbed when I learned that most women POOP during delivery. Oh yeah. Can you imagine dropping a deuce while your nether regions are on full display to every nurse, doctor and family member that happens to be there??? Again, my friends tell me by that point, you really don’t care. I’ll have to take their word for it. Yikes!

I think babies are so cute and I occasionally want one. Then I realize they’re like kittens – they grow up.

In junior high they made us watch a video of a live birth. After that every girl in the class vowed they’d never have sex. Sex education – it WORKS.

OhMyJeebus… the taint-ripping has made my legs permanently cross.

I tell ya, it really helps to have a close pal or relative knock out a MiniMe. Addison kept us in BabyMakin’-Pause mode for a long time. Now that she sings songs about poop and goes on the Big Girl Potty, that BabyCrazy is beginning to take over once more…
