Yes, parenthood changes everything. But parenthood 
  also changes with each baby. Here, some of the ways 
  having a second and third child differs from having your 
  first: 

  Your Clothes 
  -1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN
  confirms your pregnancy. 
  -2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible. 
  -3rd baby: Your maternity clothes ARE your regular clothes. 

  The Baby's Name 
  -1st baby: You pore over baby-name books and practice 
  pronouncing and writing combinations of all your favorites. 
  -2nd baby: Someone has to name his or her kid after your 
  great-aunt Mavis, right? It might as well be you. 
  -3rd baby: You open a name book, close your eyes, and 
  see where your finger points. 

  Preparing for the Birth 
  -1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously. 
  -2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you 
  remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing. 
  -3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month. 

  The Layette 
  -1st baby: You pre-wash your newborn's clothes, color- 
  coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's 
  little bureau. 
  -2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are 
  clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains. 
  -3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they? 

  Worries 
  -1st baby: At the first sign of distress--a whimper, a frown--you pick up the 
  baby. 
  -2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your 
  firstborn. 
  -3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing. 

  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 
  -1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 
  times. 
  -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 every day 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.
