Happy now
Remember that Friends episode where Frank, Phoebe's brother, complains to her about how harried and hectic life is with his triplets? His kids are so rowdy, he says. They're so hard to take care of.
Phoebe, without missing a beat, tells him, "Well, let me help you. Give me Frank Jr. Jr.," and Frank says, "Oh no, not him! He's my little guy!" and proceeds to list all the great things about each child (Leslie and Chandler...OK, I had to look this up! I really don't know all the kids' names offhand.)
Ah, here's a synopsis: "Frank reappears in a later season and tries to convince Phoebe to take one of the triplets, because he claims to have not slept in four years. For arguments sake, they discuss which of the children Phoebe will take. She asks for Frank Jr. Jr., but Frank decides that Frank Jr. Jr. is too funny and that she can't take him. She then asks for Leslie, but he says no, because she is the only one who knows how to burp the alphabet. Phoebe then suggests Chandler, to which Frank replies, 'Oh, no, no, you can't have Chandler, no. No, no. She's my little genius. I got big hopes for her. She's gonna be a doctor or a realtor.' He then realizes that he has run out of children to give up and that he loves his children way too much to ever give any of them away.
In the end, Frank realizes once again how good he has it.

These days, even though baby is sleeping really well, I am having more moments when it seems Wonder Boy just doesn't stop talking, it takes me raising my voice to get Firstborn Son to pick up his socks and baby wants to be held all the time. Sometimes, I remember half an hour later, "Oh yeah, I've been needing to go to the bathroom for a while!"
That's when I think of Phoebe and Frank's conversation and realize yup, oh baby, it sure is hard to live the day to day with three kids. But oh mama, how much harder would it be to live without them.
