Sorry we're a day late on these. Both Cara and I were celebrating birthdays this weekend. My youngest turned 4 on Saturday. Her middle son turned 4 on Sunday. How is that for friendship?! Best friends in the hospital having babies at the same time.
As a side note . . . are we the ONLY ones not going to BlogHer this week? Boo hoo hoo!
Jen over at Sabbatical Mom writes about one of the dangers of Baby Bunching at the doctor. Sympathy crying for brother's 5-year old shots? Nope, her daughter is upset about being 5 because of the shots.
Miche over at Coordinating Chaos provides a great morale booster for all moms. This is your baby and you're doing a great job whether you breast or bottle feed; co-sleep or not.
Jen over at Oscarelli writes about how lonely motherhood can be. So many friendships are based on motherhood, but we often lose other friends when the babies come. Not to mention when the babies start coming in rapid succession. I thought this was a very poignant post.
Karen over at Mommy Needs a Time Out has some wonderful mommy tricks she can do, like making a bottle (from start to finish) during a red light--impressive! What can you do?
Susan over at One Year Apart is featuring other moms with kids who are one year apart. Click over there and read about Super Ninja Mom (who is about to have her fifth baby) and a few others heroes in my mind.
Not going to BlogHer either. There's always next year but I got use a break from the babies NOW.

One of my readers just recommended your site and I'm loving it! My first just turned one last week and I'm having #2 this week. I've decided to live in some sort of dreamworld that everything will be fine, but I am LOVING all the advice you have on here! Thank you so much for everything. I'm resisting the urge to print out your ENTIRE BLOG and read everything all at once!
BTW, for obvious reasons, I feel like I'm the only one not going to BlogHer, too!
