For my friend Alita,
Mommies of three, at least new ones, don't:
-sleep very much
- get to read their friends blogs much less write in their own
- have clean houses, my little niece Sage finds all kinds of treats under my table
- fit into their pants, they have to wear their husbands
- keep up on laundry, gardens, dishes, housekeeping, mail, or keep up with their children
Mommies of three do:
- put in movies for their kids so they can take naps
- feed their families diets of cereal, sandwiches, hot dogs and whatever you can find in the freezer section at Winco
- take 3 hours to get out the door in the morning and then only have 1 hour to run errands before the baby wakes up
- neglect their older children because they are nursing or sleeping all day
- neglect their husbands for the same reasons
- wear a ponytail or put their hair in a clip every day but Sunday
- find that they love number 3 every bit as much as they did number one
- find that maybe they cherish number 3 even more because it has been such a long wait
To all of the moms out there. You are amazing and I salute what you do every day.

Good to know! Still hoping that someday we can join the ranks. Trying fertility drugs now. Maybe...
Good luck with the new busy life. ;)
Thinking of you and sending good vibes and lots of love.
Too True....Ahhh the joys and reality of motherhood.
What a great post, Donalee! I think you are a great mom and I KNOW it won't be long before you have a handle on everything (heck it already seems like you do) - and are back in your own pants!
yeah - it's so good to see baby #3 here! She is a cutie. Hope you can at least read your comments and see who's checking in on you!
