I enjoy playing devil's advocate. I'm a really bad diet buddy. I'm usually the one enabling my friends to eat the giant piece of chocolate cake. Ha! I enjoy playing devil’s advocate.

Except for you oldwestmom, you were not helping, after my baby smelling intoxication I would've taken any newborn, not just one I made myself. Thanks to all for being the voice of reason.

I've had one of those nights where every ounce of my patience has been tested and I've wanted briefly to run screaming from my house...where four children are already running around screaming. Ugh. Throw a newborn in to the mix? Heck to the nah. Maybe my sister will get knocked up and I can borrow hers for a few hours at a time...Get crackin' scary mime.

They are incredibly sweet. Here's some mental help. Imagine that you've plucked that sweet child out of its bed in the middle of the night and taken it in bed with you. Imagine that it's still sucking up huge breaths from crying, so you've tucked it between the covers and your stomach, and it's laying on it's stomach near your heart. You hope to comfort it and still snooze a little. Imagine that sweet child taking a deep breath and puking all over you, and the bed, and your sleeping husband. I hope this helps. It happened to me and it helped to remember it. Marilynne http://womenoverfifty.Today.com I know what you’re saying. They are incredibly sweet.
