I was going to do a "Wordless Wednesday" today, but I thought that after my long weekend away, I needed to get back into the swing of things.
- How in the world do these girls from "16 & Pregnant" survive? I am 27 years old, married, and what I consider to be stable... and I still find it challenging. Rewarding all the same, but I couldn't imagine doing this at 16. Or single. I have a new found respect for single mothers as well... we should all applaud you. Seriously.
- How in the world do people not know they are full term pregnant like the women on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant"? These women give birth in bathroom stalls, with no pain meds, medical attention, or PREPARATION!!!!! Are you kidding me? I couldn't imagine saying "Hey, I have to poop. No, wait, it's just a baby!" More power to you ladies...
- How in the world do Moms handle multiples?!?! Jason has triplet brothers, and I tell his mom all the time... I do not know how you did it! Grant it, they are blessings, but I lost so much sleep with 1, could you imagine that times 3, 4, 5? Just thinking about it makes me tired.
- How in the world does it cost so much to have a baby?!?! Lol. Ok, so we have great insurance, but when you see that bill from the hospital, I am pretty sure that your jaw drops, because you could have bought a car, a VERY NICE CAR! AND, if there were a running tally of all the things that we buy for our little bundle of joy... well, I think that we would be sent into heart failure. I don't want to speak for everyone, but Gwen's worth it.
- How in the world are we going to be able to send our kids to college?!?! In 18 years, I am sure that we will be paying about $100,000 a year... Holy Crap... I think I need to go make a drink. :)
- How in the world did parents function without all of these crazy gadgets that we have now? Monitors, jumpers, harnesses, sound machines, etc. I couldn't imagine ever driving with an infant without a car seat, but it happened. Nor could I imagine not being able to see Gwen's every movement while she sleeps, but it happened.
Just some food for thought.
With all that said, all I can think is...
How in the world could I love someone anymore than I love Gwen?
Answer: I can't. :)
xoxo.

I love your how in the world list!!
I really dislike 16 and Pregnant, just because....I don't know. I haven't watched it, so I really don't know much about it, but I don't know why you would make a show about being 16 and pregnant.
And YES, having a baby is $$$. Ridiculous!
Ha! Awesome post - I totally agree - I have said to my friend on multiple occasions that I cannot comprehend how young girls, single moms, or mothers of multiples do it. I was so worn out those first couple of months (well really, i still am:)) and that was with just 1 and a supportive hubs!!
Hope you guys are having a great week!
