I highly recommend having a chubby smiling baby around the house.

I have to say that I thought the second child would make things a lot harder.  I remember being pregnant and chasing around a one year old and thinking, "How the hell am I going to do this?!"

But I must say that having Henri around actually takes the stress away.  Holding a smiling baby in your arms makes everything seem. . .well, pretty good.  Sometimes I feel like literally pulling out all of my hair or driving my car into oncoming traffic, but when I'm looking down at this baby smiling at me and making cooing noises I feel like melting into a giant puddle on the floor.
