… you do preschool drop-off in your PJs, sans underwear of any kind.
The Poo and I woke up together in my bed at about, oh, 8:45 this morning. And we’re supposed to be in the car for drop-off at, oh, 8:45.
I tossed and turned during another restless night, complete with alternating bouts of hunger, nausea and heartburn. This kid is trying to kill me already.
I’m busy preparing for the big karmic kick in the ass I am about to get. The Poo was such a good baby, and I was too stupid at the time to realize just how easy I had it.
I just have a feeling that, this time, I’m really going to get my comeuppance.

I’m feeling the same way, sort of. The tree-hugger has always been a very low maintenance baby, but now that she’s a toddler the real parenting starts. I’m not ready! Add another baby to the mix and I’m starting to panic. What if baby number 2 isn’t so easy?
I had trouble sleeping last night too. Headache, neck ache, back ache. Good times.
My first was relatively easy. The second even more laid back. Plus I was more comfortable the second time around, which probably made the 2nd even more easy.
I’ve noticed lately that kids are getting to school later and later. But the annoying thing is that “A” parents are showing up at 9:20 or even 9:30! They are supposed to be there at 10 till. Come on people. At least show up on time when you are working parent.
But pregnant ladies totally have an excuse!
I was amazed during summer school when I got mine there on time with a new baby in tow and I was actually showered.
You are going to do fine and I am sure you looked cute in your PJ’s!
If you only knew how many moms drop-off in their jammies . . . only to return 2 hours later dressed and groomed! Yup, I am one of them too!
I have gone to the school many times in my pj’s! Pregnant woman have that right!! I practiced this myself.
You are in for a whole new world that words can not describe! You are going to be amazed with yourself when Henry comes into the world!
Sleep in jeans!
My 2nd pregnancy kicked my ass but the baby? Good as gold. Super mellow. I wish the same for you!
I don’t think I’d judge the baby by the pregnancy. I thought of my son as “the parasite” when he was still on the inside. I don’t think my system appreciated the extra testosterone, and he kicked me…constantly and painfully. But on the outside, he was mellow, charming, and easy going. Don’t count yourself out yet.
Damn day light savings time. Getting out on time was hard enough already.
I thought my first baby was pretty good so I worried about the same thing. Turns out the second was even easier. She is sweet and easy going which helps, but the second time is just easier. You know what you are doing and you just don’t worry. All the worrying is still saved for the firstborn.
Or maybe you just make flawless babies!!
Oh, don’t count out that perfect baby yet. Cordy was a pain in the ass as a baby, and so I thought I’d get an easier baby the second time around.
Nope. Karma has a sick sense of humor.
THAT’S how you spell comeuppance!! thank you!!
I think it’s the time change too. We’ve all been sleeping a lot later than usual this week.
You never know, lots of times second babies are even easier!
I think sometimes the universe tricks us into thinking we’re good parents, then gives us a challenge.
After our first child my husband and I thought we were the best parents EVER. We would look at our perfectly behaved child and scoff and the parents wrestling with their child at the mall to stay in the stroller. Then along came our second. While in the hospital my husband commented that she cried a lot more that the first. I reminded him sweetly, “oh honey, don’t you remember…babies cry”. The problem was she never stopped. EVER! Then she started to move. EVERYWHERE! She is almost 7 and she still keeps us on our toes.
I bet you looked adorable in your pajamas.
Besides, I’m not pregnant anymore, and I’m still going out in my pj’s. You make it sound like it’s a bad thing
… preschool only starts at 8:45? O.o Wow, I wish I worked there… I work at a preschool and have to be up at 5:30 to get to there by 7:00! Class starts at 8:00!
Though at least I don’t work at a school. Class starts at 7:30 in most of them. -_-
That aside…
I’m sure the new baby will be easy to handle. Boys are easier than girls for starters, and you’re a pro at this by now! ^_^
And even if he IS a bit of a handful at birth, if Karma works like it should, you should have a doddle when it comes to potty training and temper tantrums!!!
You just wait, your world is going to be rocked by how you really can experience it for the first time again. He is going to be amazing, just like his mama.
