There is so much crappy parenting out there and it's soooo refreshing to read your updates. You get what is truly important in life!MuddyPawzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446102139449951065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-26011960719169493902008-09-05T18:16:00.000-07:002008-09-05T18:16:00.000-07:00I have 4 children -- 11, 8 and 4-year-old twins. I remember trying to capture that sacred one-on-one time before the baby(s) came. When I was pregnant with my second I always wondered -- how in the world can I love another child as much? How will I divide my love? I've learned that a mother's love isn't divided when another child comes along -- it's multiplied. Enjoy being a mother of two!Michelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09727097317003965413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-9171212508915903822008-09-05T17:53:00.000-07:002008-09-05T17:53:00.000-07:00You and me both!

Thank you.<BR/><BR/>It's so good and special that you even thought to spend some time with Archer before the baby comes. I'm sure he appreciated it as much as you did.<BR/><BR/>Is it really only 5 weeks to go?

Am envious. Also need to drop everything and go hug my kids a lot now. <BR/><BR/>Also I need to invent a time machine and dart ahead to read your equally moving and eloquent post on your baby going off to college because I'm facing that next week and ... I'm not ready. <BR/><BR/>Again, wonderful post.Normhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06547335123551743459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-58554140292546200432008-09-05T09:00:00.000-07:002008-09-05T09:00:00.000-07:00You two had so much fun!

October is the month that my niece turns three and the next niece arrives. To say that we are eagerly awaiting that month would be an understatement. <BR/><BR/>In short (less the actually being preggy thing)...I know a bit how you feel. September feels like such a preparation month...October is where the party is!Heza Hekelehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16521747190274748084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-37946934514132150592008-09-04T23:31:00.000-07:002008-09-04T23:31:00.000-07:00How wonderful that you got to spend 5 whole weeks with Archer. What memories you must have made!<BR/><BR/>I would love to be able to do something like that with my son.<BR/><BR/>He got scared on Pirates of the Caribbean too, but only during the two drops in the dark. I told him "That's it, no more drops" and he kept asking me for assurance. "All done, no more drops, Daddy?"<BR/><BR/>I love your writing. When's the next book?Daddy Danhttp://daddydan.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-25024600616639542432008-09-04T23:14:00.000-07:002008-09-04T23:14:00.000-07:00Oh my.<BR/><BR/>My son hit the 18 month mark Tuesday and we're officially trying for #2. Reading your post made me so excited, and yet so scared at the same time.<BR/><BR/>I know I'll love another baby just as much as I love him, and in new and different ways. But at the same time, I can't imagine another little person entering our partners-in-crime situation. How will I be able to love another person like I love this boy. Sometimes my heart hurts just trying to contain everything that I feel for him, ya know?<BR/><BR/>I think you sound like an amazing mother, and I think this month with Archer proves that.Stacynoreply@blogger.com
