Go ahead, puke on me :S

Elamsmoms, choking is another story!

Even though I have 1st Aid and CPR, I freak out about choking.

Charnenay, I must say I got better. I realised they are much stronger than we think and me breaking down is not helping the situation. So now I can handle a fever of 39.6 with a smile. I don't hyperventilate anymore if she throws up or has a cold. That's the great thing about motherhood- you really learn with time.

Girly, that's if blush, mascara and eyebrow pencil counts as make-up.

Also, she has been on my hip for 19 months. She wants to be carried and be with me 24/7.

So, we both brush teeth, she has a blusher brush when I am busy, she sits in her bumbo seat when I straighten my hair or I do it the night before.
She takes out shoes for me to wear (although I hardly go with her choice ) and sometimes it's a struggle if she wants to be picked up and I have to get ready. Also, I just take my hair up in a bun if I don't have time.

I must say, I also pray constantly that my second baby will also be easy.

I also don't think it's a case of Nienke being really easy. I think it might be more my perspective on it. I find it easy. She cries and screams and throws tantrums, but I don't let it phase me.
It doesn't "stress" me so to speak.

For instance, if I cook, she hates not getting attention. So I'll make her "cook" as well. I put her on a chair, then give her flour, cooked rice, uncooked pasta, bowls etc and she makes a MASSIVE mess.

My hubby FREAKS out, my MOM would freak out but I let her do it because she enjoys it. I have to clean the whole kitchen if she's done but I don't really mind.

I admire how amazing you are, Girly, how you kept yourself composed throughout everything with Kaylee. When Nienke was six weeks old she had flu and they took x-rays of her chest by holding her by her arms. I was in a STATE. I cried so much I couldn't dress her. My dad actually got quite impatient with me over the phone cause I couldn't even talk. And I suppose if you are a mother, you need to be able to handle things like that, whereas I failed spectacularly.
