This morning, as I nursed my one-month-old, ate a bowl of cereal, and spoon-fed my toddler breakfast all at the same time, it occurred to me that if I blogged the way I talk then it would read something like this: Having two young daughters is a lot of – don’t touch that – that fun.

Seven things to never, EVER say to a pregnant woman: “Sleep now! You won’t be able to once the baby is here!” OK, you try sleeping with a watermelon sized tummy, an aching body, and a baby kicking you in the bladder, ribs, and lungs every night between midnight and 5AM.
