... some babies don't like to take naps for more than 30 minutes at a time, making it nearly imposisble to get anything of substance done?
... sneaking all sorts of bits of chocolate and other things here and there during pregnancy would indeed make it a

... making a meal plan for the week and buying the groceries accordingly actually helps you stick to the budget and eat healthier?
... your house is never quite as picked up as you'd like it to be when you have a child, no matter how old they are, I'm guessing?
... you can memorize some of those children's books pretty quickly? The sun has set not long ago, and everybody goes below... I don't even read that book anymore, I just recite it as we rock before bed. (The Going to Bed Book, by Sandra Boynton)
... figuring out how to cut your spending to find a seemingly exorbitant amount of money to pay for daycare is quite challenging?
... coming up with creative, non-mommy things to blog is also challenging, since my day is mostly mommy-ish?
