My name is Darlene. I speak Chinese. I love music. I play the guitar and violin. I have thought about learning the cello one day. I am good at ping pong. I live in a small town. Big cities are exciting to me. My dad is an electrician. I'm not a fan of unusual names. I am a woman. I don't see myself being a mother. I am confident in my ability to be a "cool auntie". I am single. I do not have kids.  I have a sister-in-law. I have a two year old nephew.
My name is Betsy. I just bought my first home. I am a teacher. I have 2 step children. I am pregnant with triplets: two boys and one girl. They will be born in three months. I prefer traditional names for children while my husband prefers unusual ones. I am married. I just moved to the US with my husband. I live in the suburbs. I am supportive of women who choose not to have children. I think cellos have a deep mournful sound, and I'd love to learn to play one some day. I don't know how to play any musical instruments.
How is the pregnancy going? Have you been able to get enough rest? I don't think parents ever get enough rest, and carrying 3 babies can keep anyone from getting comfortable. Maybe in like 18 ish years? You're keeping a sense of humor, that's good. I want things to go well, healthy mom and kids for sure. And maybe you'll end up with a few friends who want to spoil your kids too.  Oh yeah, usually there are lots of people wanting to see new babies, but they tend to disappear after the new baby smell wears off. Maybe I will be a lucky one. If I make it through delivery, I am hoping a few of my people stick around. I am not certain how feeding three babies at once even works. I am so scared. Your feelings make sense, it's going to be a big transition. Sounds like you have a lot to consider. I prefer child free living, and support those that have kids too.  Well, you are welcome to play with the babies any time. I don't mind sharing my kids. I joked about putting them in a play pen and sitting outside walmart to auction them off haha. But I already love all three. There are probably a few parents that would love to discuss surrogate pregnancies. It's your body, your choice. Let me know about the next auction, I'll bring potluck.  Bahahahah That would be amazing. I would never want to be a surrogate. Pregnancy is not worth doing just to give up the life you hurt to grow. But I applaud those who can handle it. What would you bring to a baby auction potluck lol I was trying to figure that out hehe. At first I thought beer, but then thought that might not be good for the kids. Then thought about bring popcicles... yeah don't know yet. Cookies might do! hehe.  I guess any of those things would work. But I don't know if walmart would appreciate such a display. It is fun to joke about crazy things that I can't actually do. I am sure there will be plenty of days where I want to do just what we are discussing. Parenthood is hard enough with my step kids. Sounds like it gives you plenty to be aware of, I hear you. Sometimes jokes help people cope with tough stuff. I love a good comedian, making me laugh. Some comedians too, like Stephen Colbert, inform, and make you laugh. You like any comedian?  Oh yeah. I watch dry bar a lot on youtube because it is clean for the kiddos. But George Carlin was my very favorite one ever. And I have a few others i really like. There is a counseling minister comedian I love. His name is Mark Gungor. You should check him out.
