Yes, the first is a bolt from the blue, a shock...
The second is when you realize you have the first and calm down a little;
The third is complete harmony, and suddenly you're swept up in an incredible love you never knew existed, and when you realize that you can take on anything and that you're AWESOME—along comes the fourth and puts everything in perspective!
And four is when the family no longer fits into a regular car, and hotels don't have rooms that big. And it turns out that all three before that were preparing you for the fourth, building up your mom muscles.
Lord, Almighty, just watch over them, my beloved ones, keep them safe... and I'll manage somehow...
...and on that touching note, from the bathroom comes “Mom, I'm done!!!”
