3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in. 

Diapering: 

1st baby: You change your baby's diapers every hour, whether they need it or not. 

2nd baby: You change their diaper every two to three hours, if needed. 

3rd baby: You try to change their diaper before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees. 

Activities: 

1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour. 

2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics. 

3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner. 

Going Out:

2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached. 

3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood. 

At Home: 

1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby. 

2nd baby: You spend a bit of everyday watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby. 

3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children. 

Swallowing Coins: 

1st child: When first child swallows a coin, you rush the child to the hospital and demand x-rays.
