Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I was catching up on my favorite reality show, Home Sweet Hollywood, (Tori Spellings show) and while she cries a lot in general, she cried a lot during this episode but I understood why. She was talking about her third baby (Now Hattie) and how she was going to be born into so much love. That is how I felt about my son (my third baby) being born. When you have your first, you don’t know what to expect. I don’t think anything prepares you for the emotions that overcome you when you meet your baby for the first time. You cant explain it to someone, you really need to experience it to get it. Then your second comes and you feel like “Oh I got this” but then the second ends up not being like the first and you feel like a rookie all over again. Then the third, ahhh the third….you have been through it all..twice…and you feel like you can handle anything. Then you realize how much love your baby will be born into. Not that your first and second weren’t, but the third is just different. You have 4 people all anxiously awaiting their arrival and then all of the extended family and friends as well. Every baby is such a gift and by the third you are relaxed enough to thoroughly understand just how lucky you are. That Tori Spelling is just as smart as can be! She cries a little too much but pure genius nonetheless. I feel like absolutely nothing I wrote makes any sense but maybe the mommies of three might understand what I am trying to say!! All in all, each baby is a gift and the more the merrier
