Welcome to This Glorious Mess Little Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises!

Was pregnancy really what you expected? 

Well, for Kelly McCarren, pregnancy has been pretty miserable. The morning sickness, the exhaustion and that's not even the worst of it. Kelly details what she wished she knew before the bump. 

Plus, Kelly takes the mic and asks Tegan and Leigh all her burning questions about motherhood, from how to install a car seat? to can I go to a wedding days after giving birth? 

And as always, we answer your questions! What do you do when your daughter keeps saying sorry?
