So Chris and I went and had ourselves a little baby! Now that Baby Jackson is here, we begin our adventures in parenthood. The good, the not-so-good, and the just plain dirty diapers – all for you to enjoy!

I go to this site called BabyCenter a lot. It's basically a baby book on the web, but there is also a message board where moms-to-be post their thoughts and questions. Believe me, a lot of them are really stupid, but every now and then, someone posts something interesting. The other day this girl posted something about how her pregnancies determined the attitudes of her children. She said with her first, she cried all the time and her son is now an emotional kid. He's five and she said he cries at the drop of a hat. Her second pregnancy, she was fussy and tired. Her three year old daughter is, in her words, a brat. This is her third pregnancy and she said she is very calm and this pregnancy is very easy, so she's hoping that this son will be more easygoing.

Well, that got me thinking - based on my pregnancy, what will Jackson be like? I do have my moments of crying, but they are few and far between. In fact, I find myself laughing a lot at things that are supposed to make me cry (like that ASPCA commercial with all the homeless dogs - yes, I know, since I laugh at that, I'm evil) and crying at things that are supposed to make me laugh (like the movie Fred Claus that I watched over Christmas. I cried like a baby). But mostly laughing. So I hope that means Jack will be a happy baby. I think he will be, because he has us for parents. You have to laugh at that! :)
