I have something to share with all of you. Yeah, there's a little something special in the oven. We're expecting to eat at 6 so make sure to... What? Another baby? What're you all kinds of cookoo bananas? It's a turkey. Literally. In the oven. Bring the cranberry sauce.

What Happens When You're Pregnant
When my wife was pregnant she'd fall asleep at around 7pm. I mean, totally, totally out, like pile-things-on-her and draw-on-her-face out. So, while I can't totally predict what'll happen to you, you might expect to feel tired. And to wake up under a pile of clothes with a fake mustache.

Bringing Baby Home
We all learn by doing, and having children is no exception. Case in point: The first time my daughter got sick (11 months, stomach flu) I was beside myself with fear. I even called the doctor and had my wife come home from work. I'll probably recover from the stress of it once she's married. Let's deal with one thing at a time, however. Here's what to do once you get home with baby.

So Many Babies!
In my neighborhood I know four families with four children. Knowing how hard it is with two, I'm imagining four is at least 6,000 times harder. Despite the chaos, it often looks like fun. Mostly I'm upset I didn't get the "All the cool families have four kids" memo.

Baby-Making Troubles
I've known plenty of couples who have had some problems trying to start a family. If you want to get pregnant and it hasn't happened yet, don't worry; there's plenty of help available if you want it.
