Men can't tell the difference. LOL!<BR/><BR/>And no, two is not *that* hard. I'll be honest, it is an adjustment, but you'll get into a routine just like you did when WB joined the fam. It'll be great. Plus, I have to agree with the previous commenters about the sibling relationship. It will be absolutely amazing to watch WB & littlest WB or WG together. Amazing.

Too funny. Mine would also wonder if in fact I'd told the entire internet before telling him.<BR/><BR/>Just for the sake of clarity, my ambivalence is about going from 2 to 3. I went to two pretty easily, but growing up one of two, with nearly everyone else I know also one of two, I'm having a very hard time even imagining how three kids would work. Now that a few of our friends have had their third already the pressure is mounting.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409530202277375625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1784983287671772472007-03-24T10:55:00.000-04:002007-03-24T10:55:00.000-04:00This all helps IMMENSELY.

Oh sure, I say that now, but then she gets all sweet and easy going one day and I think, hmmmm, maybe a third wouldn't be so bad. And oh how I love babies! But then, she gets cranky and whines and cries and climbs up onto the windowsill and dances. Thank god for hair dye!
