Which of the following statements is correct?
1) Having children keeps you young!! Moms are energetic and dewy!!!
2) I look like I’m 80 years old because I’m waking up three times a night with my baby and toddler.
3) We’re all getting old anyway, and having kids will keep us entertained along the way, and, well, whatever.

Given that you spent some of yesterday with me, I’m going to play self-absorbed long enough to wonder if it was looking at my wrinkles that prompted this quiz? In which case I’m going for answer C, but I’m feeling old and grouchy this morning anyway.

Also going with 3). And noting that my biggest pre-labor splurge thus far was yesterday’s expensive tub of Benefit’s industrial-strength concealer (New! Postpartum Size!).

Rachel, nothing to do with you–just noticed yesterday that I looked about two hundred years old. I blame it on a particularly BAD mirror in the Union (just below Career Services, as a warning). I thought that I weathered one kid pretty well–the second kid has aged me big time (permanent dark circles, more wrinkles, etc)–then again, I am, well, older now, so who’s to say. If certain almost-16-month-olds would stop nursing 3x/night, I might feel/look less bedraggled. Then again, desert air, lots o’ beer, undergrad years on the beach in San Diego…can’t pinpoint the source.
Kate–BeneFit products rule! I rely on the You Rebel tinted moisturizer to even my perpetually splotchy-red skin and impart a faux dewiness…
Ah, dewiness, I miss you. Trip to Costa Rica anyone???
