[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just one daughter named Naomi [/quote]

Naomi's baby naming ceremony turned out to be a circus. The rabbi was late, the divorced grandparents were bickering, the lox was rubbery, and your c-section scar was irritated, but in the midst of all that chaos and strife you were cool as a cucumber and totally enamored with your beautiful baby girl. You couldn't believe how much you loved her, her dark hair, her piercing eyes, her little baby grunts. All of it was so intoxicating. And then toddlerhood hit like a tsunami. Suddenly, your sweet baby girl was a mini maniac with torrential tantrums and exhausting negotiations. You kept reassuring yourself that these traits would serve her well in later life, perhaps she will grow up to become a trial lawyer. Thankfully, things settled down when she turned four and school was a true blessing. You had been a single, working mom when you had Naomi (thanks to a sperm donor), but soon after her 1st birthday you met and fell in love with an amazing man, Matt, who eventually became your husband and Naomi's father. Matt really helped you weather those intense toddler years and you continue to marvel at what an amazing and patient man he is. You have been trying to get pregnant for the past year and are now resigned to having to seek out professional help, but you are really hopeful about having a baby with Matt. Naomi has also been begging for a baby sister since that seems to have been a popular event in kindergarten....celebrate the arrival of a new baby sibling, but you do worry that it will be a huge adjustment for her. She'll be fine. Really, she will.

In fact, she will thrive in her role as big sis. You on the other hand will struggle with the differences....the challenging pregnancy, the difficult first year, the colic that Naomi never had, and the baby weight that just won't disappear like it did last time. But Matt will be a trooper and he will change diapers, feed you chocolate ice cream, and take the late night feedings. In fact, his stoicism will drive you a bit batty which will prompt you to pull out your favorite Dolly Pardon cds and play them at loud volumes throughout the house. This will be around the time Naomi starts to develop an addiction to audio books and she will spend long hours in her room listening to Harry Potter and Anne of Green Gables while blocking out newborn screams and Dolly's songs. To eventually celebrate emergence from that intense period and Matt's new promotion, you all make the spontaneous but wise decision to buy a second home in Cape Charles, Virginia. You would never imagine that you, a NYC Jew would love the Eastern shore, especially the twangy Virginia side as much as you do. But those sunsets are spectacular and the crabs are divine (thank goodness you gave up eating Kosher long before kids arrived). [/quote]
