What I do to avoid them is this: "I have WONDERFUL news. We didn't want to say anything until we were sure, but we were hoping so much....." Pause here with sparkling, ideally brimming eyes. Then say, "We're due in [month]!" It doesn't TOTALLY work, but it cues SOME people that (1) this is good news and they should respond accordingly, and (2) it was planned (even if it wasn't).<BR/><BR/>I am not fond of bathtime either. The two older kids are 6 and 8 and can take showers, which helps hugely. The littles, what I do is I put the twins in the tub and have Paul watch them. Then I come in, dip Henry in the water and wash him quick, then go dress him. Then I come wash the twins. Do it fast, like ripping off a bandaid.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-79495375281357055802007-12-14T13:04:00.000-05:002007-12-14T13:04:00.000-05:00Scott said that he was going to start saying, "No,...Scott said that he was going to start saying, "No, we don't know how this happens.

I guess I was getting pretty mean about it. *blush*<BR/><BR/>Don't worry, we'll put up with you.<BR/><BR/>I can understand not wanting to tell your family yet. But you are right, you are the ones dealing with it and they have no right to say anything.<BR/><BR/>Yikes, I hope the week in Sept alone goes well. That is precisely why I'm waiting a few more months to even THINK about triyng to get pregnant. My husband will be in Africa for 2 WHOLE WEEKS in October. I fear having a newborn (and a toddler) alone for that whole time. Or being REALLY pregnant with my husband that far away (and the closest family over an hour drive from here). So, we'll try to wait. ;)<BR/><BR/>As far as bathing 3 kids, maybe you can put them on a rotation. Then you don't have to worry about ALL of them in the same night. COuld work, but what do I know.Mommy Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272248293460562006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304408055161689399.post-52790233271541567552007-12-13T14:43:00.000-05:002007-12-13T14:43:00.000-05:00i had to make a follow-up doctor's appointment for...i had to make a follow-up doctor's appointment for O the other day and I'm still getting a sick stomach over it - it will be a month after the baby is born and I don't know how I can get 2 kids in my car because I am a scared little wuss right now.<BR/>I'm bitchy when pregnant and take no shit - people high-fived when they found out I was having another and they're been throwing their bosses in my path left and right to see if I'll start a fight. I've been much better behaved so far this time thoughbananafanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14705721816298945413noreply@blogger.com
