Mommie fearest

I'm due in four weeks and if the predictions of my mother friends are accurate, I should feel like a total impostor, a crappy mom, a complete failure.

Hey, me too!

Due in a month, that is. This is kid #2, and your friends are not wrong about the newborn period. It is not fun. It's, like, the total opposite of fun. But once you get through that they start to have a personality and then it starts to be the opposite of the opposite of fun. Plus, you're sleeping more which makes everything better.

You should come hang out at Table Talk, especially if you have questions or problems. TT got me through the newborn period with kid #1. A lot of smart, cool, experienced people hang out there and will be happy to help you get through the rough parts. Just don't call them your chickens.
