How Do Women Have More Than One Kid?
Watching Wife go through the suffering of "morning" sickness, I've often wondered what possesses women to get pregnant a second time. As wife is curled up in a ball, unable to move or keep food down, she also ponders how a woman could possibly go through this again. Countless friends (including not only mothers, but also childless women and men) have explained that as soon as the baby is born, all the misery will be forgotten. Don't worry, Wife is taking notes. She's writing it all down, so she will never forget. If this kid is a girl, Wife is convinced that she'll keep a daughter chaste until she's forty by sharing tales of the last month.

The misery is not "forgotten," merely deemed worthwhile. The trick is to wait until the baby is 12. Right about there, "worthwhile" flies right out the freakin' window.
I did that with my first, every detail I wrote out in her scrapbook. Did the same thing for her delivery! I wanted her to know my sufferings! Yet I didn't do that with any of the others....is it that with the first it is such a shock of the new experiences?! I remember my friends husband's one word to sum up the delivery of their first TRAUMATIC (now they are on their fourth, in four and a half years lol)
