A little help?
I have to ask those of you out there with more than one ankle-biter child a quick question. A bleg, if you will. First, some background. For those of you that don't know, Mrs. Big Dubya and I are expecting, like, any freakin' day now. Any. Freakin'. Day. We already have one so this isn't my first time on this particular ride - I'm an expectant dad, yes, but I lost my virginity 17 months ago in a not-so gentle fashion - not even a reach-around.
My question is, if you had your children close together, did the older one have some sense that something was happening? I mean, did they start acting a little wonky as the day got closer? Maybe a little off? Little Dub seems to be a tad off-kilter as we get closer to the End of Days end. Unfortunately, it's not as if I can sit him down man-to-man and go over the whole "Mommy's carrying a little baby brother/sister in her belly so you have to be careful..." speech. I tried practicing all the signs for that and I think I gave myself carpal tunnel syndrome -- I am so out of shape.
So, good readers of DadCentric, I turn to you for your wit, wisdom and insight into this particular matter. Is this to be expected? Is it only gonna get worse? Will I be nicknaming the new baby Ike?
