"In Training" |

I must admit, I have seen "Cheaper by the Dozen" over five times now. That’s right. At first it was to appease my obsession with Tom “Super Boy” Welling, but that was before I became pregnant. This time, I watched it for moral support, clarity, hilarity, & Tom Welling (I still have a libido, I guess). |
If you haven’t seen this movie, I suggest that you rent it—especially when you start freaking out about first time motherhood or the second or fifth child. The likelihood that any of us are going to have our twelfth these days (unless you are a professional surrogate or something) is pretty slim. Still, I know that I had to watch it—that overload of growth, chaos, change and love—to properly and happily store all the baby info I have been gathering (from the definition of fundal height to the best foods for a baby and why). |
Every time I watch this movie it makes me feel like I, too, can be a (single) super mom; I, too, could bring into the world twelve wonderful kids and love and raise them and have a wonderful marriage to match one day! I, too, can make the best and wisest decisions and manage household affairs and that everything would be alright (or rather, more than alright). |
So, as I go back and forth over cloth diapers or plastic, “normal” ones or if I can actually import organic baby food if I choose not to make it myself (this plan is obviously still in fantasy mode), I watch one of my favorite family movies and wonder how I could have ever thought that making my own baby food would be “too hard”—especially after entertaining the thought of importing it? It’s the best I can give my couple-of-inches-little-one once in my arms next to breast milk. Plus, I know in my heart that I’m a Mrs. Baker clone somehow. I’m a Super Mom! ‘Super Sheppard: Super Mom-to-Be’… In training. |
