My son Rhett was just born at 12:01. He is 8lbs 7oz and 20 1/4". This is the best way to start the year.

we have 3 boys age 7,6 and 4.75, all about 15-16 months apart.
how many snakes do you have? reason being is that i figured the kids' care to be somewhat like collection management so to speak, lol. at least in the early stages, everyone gets the same thing at the same time. this is what ya get and this is when ya get it. food, bath, bed. obviously some variation with changing #1 and #2 (so glad no more diapers....). the king and pine collection was a great help to me in family prep hahaha. we've been blessed with 3 good guys. best of luck and health to you and your family.

..about kids so close together is that they will entertain each other, and you don't have to repeat all the kid stuff later on.
The bad thing is when they are all in college around the same time. Ouch! $$$$$$ lol
GerardS
Jan 04, 2012 03:02 PM
That was the reasoning. We want to travel, so with them being close in age it will be a lot easier.

It's weird because I never thought about having kids and now I can't think about not having them. My daughter love snakes and turtles. She freaks out when she see them. It's going to be fun.
