Sometimes you watch a video and it puts you in a good mood all day long. That happened to me with this video. The mom (my cousin) who shot the video sent it to me last week and I have watched it every day since. At least once. Sometimes twice. Why? Because it just makes me smile. There is something so adorable about seeing big sister Jada seriously crack up her baby sister. No one else can get her going like that. Now that is love!

The question of whether or not Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise plan on giving their daughter Suri a sibling has followed them, well -- pretty much since Katie gave birth six years ago. It's almost like some people just aren't willing to accept the possibility of Suri remaining an only child. You know -- because not giving a kid any brothers or sisters is some sort of moral crime. (Major eye roll.) Rumors saying Katie Holmes is pregnant have surfaced yet again -- and this time Star magazine went ahead and put out a whole report claiming she's got a bun in the oven.

Of course, her rep immediately denied the story to Us Weekly, but it's hard not to wonder if there might be some truth to the rumors. She wouldn't be the first celeb to deny a pregnancy and then turn right around and confirm it a few weeks later. And if by some chance Katie is pregnant, now is really the perfect time for her & Tom to add another little one to their family.

Telling your child that they're going to be a big brother or sister is a big moment. Parents have been breaking out the video cameras more and more to capture their children's reactions to the news of the baby on the way, and thankfully for us, they're uploading their videos to YouTube. Last week we saw how one family with three kids, soon to be four, took the news that Mom was pregnant -- it was meltdown city. Those kids were absolutely incredulous that they'd have another sibling and burst into a chorus of whines and tears. This video, on the other hand, is of two parents telling their young daughter that she's going to be a big sister and to say she's thrilled is an understatement. Her pure joy is something you just have to see.

I'm heading out to pick up my little girl after her mini-vacation at Grandma's house. I have missed that lady like nobody's business. Every day her father and I anxiously await her phone calls, even if she mostly says, "I went to a pizza party and swam in the pool goodnight bye." My oldest child is becoming independent, and it is exciting and bittersweet.

Still, these past few days have been kind of magical, and in an unexpected way. My 3-year-old was an only child for a few days, and wow, did it really suit him. That kid really had a chance to shine, and I'm realizing we should be splitting the kids up every now and then so we can have the luxury of hearing only one kid voice and being able to have a conversation without interruption. It was a truly enlightening experience to have one kid again, and here's what I learned:

In completely non-shocking news, Michelle Duggar does not believe in overpopulation. Along with other non-beliefs such as birth control and spending more than $25 for a haircut, Duggar says that "the idea of overpopulation is not accurate." Whatever that means. I'm not sure how an actual thing that exists can't be accurate, but logic isn't Michelle's strong suit. What is is making babies and she's going to keep on doing it because every baby is like a flower. Or something.

Listen, if that lady wants to keep beating up her uterus until it falls right out, that's her business. But she should at least recognize that more children do take up more resources, no matter how many hand-me-downs are worn. Those things have to be washed, do they not?

On the other side, you've got people who actually plan their family based on the potential carbon footprint. You know those people, right?

We have reached a point now in our society where birth feels a lot less scary than it once was. Sure we can all cite horrific, scary stories, but for the most part, we expect to live and see our children grow and thrive. It's a heartbreaking truth, though, that child birth, while vastly safer than it once was, can still have devastating consequences.

One such story happened just this month in England where a 34-year-old woman gave birth to triplets and collapsed eight days later. She later died.

It's hard to even imagine that poor father and what he is going through left alone with three babies, but the scary truth is, it could happen to anyone.

Remember when you had your first baby and you were filled with the irrational fear that you’d take them home and break them immediately? They were perfect and you wanted them to stay that way. Ah, those were the days.

The second baby? Not so much. It's called second baby syndrome and it's real.

The first time you read every parenting book. You bought all the right toys, gadgets, and recommended baby products. Everything had to be perfect. The second time? Not so much.

It's an amazing, heartwarming story in many respects. When 4-year-old Neveah Reynolds was out playing princesses with her 2-year-old sister, Kazmirah, they stopped at a pond in a search to find frogs, for kissing and turning into princes, of course. Only instead, their fairy tale quickly turned into a nightmare when Kazmirah fell into the pond. 

According to WBIR, that's when Neveah showed maturity well beyond her years and fished her little sister out of the pond, saving her from drowning. "I grabbed a stick and pulled her out ... She would die if I leave her," she said.

How amazing, and she absolutely deserves the title of "hero" that's been placed up on her. But there's one big problem with this story despite its happy ending -- where the hell were the girls' parents?
