Reminds me of a theory I read somewhere about why colic generally doesn't kick in until the baby is about 3 weeks old.

Babies who started howling like that at birth or shortly thereafter got put on mountain-tops. But by the time they hit three weeks, you've bonded, and they're safe. goofy



Count me in the "probably mostly hormonal" camp on theories regarding the why of pregnancy nausea and such. (Although no one has definitively proven any of the currently popular theories.) The only pregnancy I didn't have severe "morning" sickness with before the sixth week was over was the one I miscarried a couple weeks later.

Absolutely. And after the millionth or so, they don't taste quite as much like blackboard chalk, either. wink

It's funny how many people tell me that once you have two, three and four is no big deal.
I have three. They LIE. Two hands, three kids. You do the math. :p


Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

No joke, rivka. Same for the lap: two legs, three kids. My oldest was heartbroken when he had to jump off my lap the month before his third birthday to make room for his little brother. And I agree with everyone else--morning sickness (all-day-long-sickness with my first one) is different not only for each woman but for each pregnancy as well.

I also have to disagree with the theory that after two, three is no big deal. With two, I had it all together. Held down a job, kept my house clean (not spotless but decently clean) had meals on time -- then #3 came along. Wow. Total chaos. My schedule was shot. I worked on weekends while hubby took care of the kids and washed the mountain of dishes that collected while I was working when I got home (hubby claimed he couldn't do that and keep track of the ankle-biters at the same time. I pointed out that I did it all week while he was at work, but he claimed it wasn't the same). Meals were eaten when I got around to it, there was always a backlog of laundry ... you get the picture. Explain to me why I went through 3 more pregnancies that produced 4 more kids. I did, and I can only claim complete insanity. Now I'm down to the twins who will be 17 in August and I wonder how I lived through it. They claim children are the grandparents' revenge. I'm watching my older kids have kids of their own now and snickering to myself ...

So, if I do the math right, you had 7 children total! jawdrop

I am impressed and happy for you! Elisabeth and I are planning on having as many as we can have which looks to be about 5 or 6, but then again, twins can always change that.
