Hi Amanda,

Well my DD was had just turned one when I became pregnant and she had't really "exploded" into her dynamic personality yet so I didn't know what I was in for at that time. My younger one is so busy that it makes my head spin. NEITHER child is like any of the children we know. Both are theatrical, outgoing, highly verbal, and friendly, so on the surface it looks great, and they can be delightful, but they can really wear me out. Believe me, I am so done with childbearing after this LOL I see a pregnant woman and I shudder.

Fish oils help ADHD kids and while my DD isn't diagnosed with that and I am not saying she has it, I swear it has helped. For example, she used to be unable to stop kicking and twisting at night while I read her books while sitting on the couch, or tapping her hands etc. Now I swear she has kept her legs still longer. Maybe it is just getting older, but it happened after we started adding fish oil. The EPA content is even more important than the DHA.
