If you're a glutton for punishment, then ...LOL. If you're a glutton for punishment, then I'm one two times over! I have to say, the first baby was by far the most difficult. I had no clue what I was doing and I bet he picked up on my stress. My other two were more laidback (they had to be!) and while they went through their own rough patches, I rolled with it a lot better.Rabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304609757116192709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450712706274635827.post-32708987581889642632010-02-25T22:17:53.604-05:002010-02-25T22:17:53.604-05:00Too true.

But now, I sleep a full 8 hours most nights. <br /><br />Guess I'm a glutton for punishment. Or I just like cute, cuddly little babies :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673008115756142503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450712706274635827.post-80156749279231395482010-02-25T21:42:49.628-05:002010-02-25T21:42:49.628-05:00I think the best advice I can give is, This too sh...I think the best advice I can give is, This too shall pass! It's easy to think that you will always be pregnant and uncomfortable; that your baby will never sleep through the night; that your toddler will never learn to play by herself without interrupting you every five minutes. But you do get through those stages and things do get better. :)Rabiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304609757116192709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450712706274635827.post-87073926981856518202010-02-22T17:02:31.415-05:002010-02-22T17:02:31.415-05:00Don't you love the writing community?

Writers really are a different breed.)<br /><br />I'd happily take any tips from a more experienced writer mom. :) Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08673008115756142503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450712706274635827.post-18299725905913336532010-02-22T16:13:45.019-05:002010-02-22T16:13:45.019-05:00Yes!

I have 3 small ones (5 years old and under) and it was hard for me to get used to the fact that I couldn't just go into The Zone for hours and hours to write. I still have evenings and afternoon Quiet Times, but I've also learned to use smaller blocks of time. I brainstorm while doing dishes, I map out stories while watching the kids play in the yard.<br /><br />(Btw, I'm in HTTS and HTRYN and found your blog through there. It's always lovely to meet other mom writers.
