chasing down the swine flu

I am so ticked with our Pediatrician's office. Somehow I must have to bribe someone to get an H1N1 shot. One day there are none available then next day the flu clinic is full. No notice. No announcement. Just full. Check back later they say. I check back the next day. And the next clinic is full, what the _____. Seriously! Obviously, I don't know the right people here. So frustrating.
And then there's the saga of my H1N1 shot. Highly recommended for pregnant women, only my OBGYN still doesn't have any or maybe they just forgot to inform me. And clearly again, I am not paying the right people.
We were going to stand in line this weekend, waste our lazy Sunday morning to get stuck with a needle at Health Care Clinic in the neighborhood, only now both Petunia and I have colds! This is so frustrating! Anyone else have an H1N1 flu saga?

again

So i'm back....again.
Things are getting exciting around here. We found out we are having another little girl in March. I think for the purposes of this blog and because I have one daughter with a flower name, I shall call the new one, Lilly. So now there will be Petunia and Lilly.
So tell me, how do people handle two children under the age of three? Because truthfully, one child at that age is about all I can handle. I'm wondering how I can do the sleepless nights again and the sleep training that I had to do with P. And keep up with an almost three year old and an infant. I know millions of people do this everyday, I'm just not sure I have this in me.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming a new little one and completing our family but also scared. Do you have any tips? All you experienced moms (and dads)?
