Answer :

You really have much on your plate, Mom! To be pregnant with a four month and two year old is quite an undertaking. You know how important you are to your children—and how wonderful that you respond to their needs, even when you are so tired yourself. I think most mothers can relate to being needed when their children are sick. They just need us. Keep up the good work!
