  1. After we got home from our family's Easter gathering, my 3 y/o came to me with her Easter basket in-hand and asked me to hide all her eggs around the house.  She wanted to play.................."Easter CUNT!"

  2. We did the same, but our increments were much more spread out and the initial check-in/soothing didn't take place until the 15 minute mark and then 20, 30, 45 (never made it to 45).  Rarely did she cry for more than 20 minutes and it worked.  So much so that she prefers sleeping in her own bed to the point that she won't even take a nap with me in our bed, so I feel like we screwed up and missed out in that aspect.  The only way I can get her to nap with me/us is if she falls asleep on the ride home from some place and we lay her in our bed to finish off her nap.

    In on Dad thread for a second time here in about 7 weeks with baby girl no. 2 joining the fray.

    I'm already wrapped around the finger of girl no. 1, so girl no. 2 pretty much means I've said to hell with retiring.

    Right there with ya.  Girl no. 1 has me wrapped up so badly that that's the sole reason I kind of wanted a boy this time around.  It's difficult to imagine right now having time and room for two Daddy's girls, but I'm certain I'll figure it out.  

    As far as having help with baby no. 2 goes, we are pretty lucky on that front.  We have her parents 10 miles down the road who are absolutely bonkers about our kid(s).  I suppose a big reason for it is we are the only source for grandchildren as my SIL is not able to have kids, so they are always more than willing to help out.  My parents on the other hand, live a bit further out and it takes a hell of a lot more effort on our part to get them involved.  Unlike my in-laws, my parents have had the pleasure of being blessed with 6 grandchildren thus far, so maybe that has something to do with it as well. 

  4. Baby number 2 is arriving in mid October.  Also just found out this past weekend that it is another girl.  My first daughter is pretty kick-ass so maybe it won't be as bad as it sounds.  I'll keep you guys posted.
