Mommyhood: Stage 3

The other day I came to the realization: I'm in stage 3 of Mommyhood.

Stage 1: Survival.
Ohmygod what hit me? Adjusting to no sleep, puke and diapers. All concentration is on keeping new baby alive.

Stage 2: Keeping it real
As long as I give this baby food and water he/she seems to be okay. Now I need to worry that s/he won't develop into monster child.

Stage 3: Referee
Repeat stage 1 & 2 as new child is added into the mix. Stage 3 is all about blowing the whistle on the fights. B will want her Dora coloring book which means now K must desperately have Dora book right now. Or K will say "MY mommy!" and lunge at me and not to miss out B will join in "NOO! MY Mommy!"

And on and on it goes, pretty much all day long. I'm wondering what Stage 4 will bring.
