BIRTH ORDER OF CHILDREN

breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your eighth month.

The Layette:
1st baby: You pre-wash newborns clothes, color-coordinate them,
and fold
them neatly in the baby's little bureau.

discard only
the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?

pick up the baby

your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your three-year-old how to rewind the
mechanical swing.
______________________________________________________
Pacifier:
1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away
until you can go home and wash and boil it.

with some juice from the baby's bottle.

need it or not.

Is is bad that I skipped step 1? I'm already at 2 in most areas, 3 in some. I totally thought I'd be the overprotective mom and I'm totally the opposite! Ha!
