One of the big stressors with two kids is the constant monitoring of "fairness." Someone always feels like the unfavored child. Christmas is a nightmare of parity-calculation.

Michael, STOP, don't make me doubt. ;-) I know what you mean, though, even though I'm not experiencing it yet. It scares me a little but I know that it'll only last two years... I think. Hope. :-)

I'll be 35 this summer

Hell, I'll be 34 when the second will be born. Do I care? Hell no, I wanted two and that's what I'll have. Hopefully. :-)

Yes, but O. is also wee herself as opposed to the 9.5 year old I have, and um, you're married. Hi.
