Going from having no kids to all of a sudden being responsible for a human life is a huge transition. After the first few initial months of worrying if every move you make or even worse, don't make, will somehow create a butterfly effect that'll result in the death of your offspring, you start to settle in the role of parent.

You expect the unexpected, you are bestowed new reflexes and situational awareness to break their fall or stop them from toppling onto their heads. You create a routine for them and help them stick to it. You manage to get some date nights with your SO and you find that adjusting to the life of a parent wasn't only just doable but actually pretty awesome.

Then you have baby number 2 and think to yourself, "Oh, I've got this parenting thing on lock what could possibly go- OH MY GOD!" Yes, as Jim Gaffigan so eloquently puts it, having another child is like you're drowning and then someone hands you a baby. It's not easy raising both a toddler and infant at the same time. It requires patience. Grace. And most important of all - a sense of humor.

So judging by these Chrissy Teigen tweets, she's more than ready to take on raising a second human being.

1. She already knows the post-delivery protocol.

no one told me i would be coming home in diapers too

5. And that internet moms can be some of the most judgmental people in the world.

6. And if you plan on trying to mommy shame her, well, she will put you on blast.

"i never wanted to leave my daughter, i love her, BUT THAT'S JUST ME" - the passive aggressiveness is real!

— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) April 24, 2016

7. We all know what she's capable of, so don't try it.

Photos are literally split-second moments in time that evolve. I despise mommy shamers. I am a proud shamer of mommy shamers.

8. She already has various and sundry paparazzi-fooling tactics at her disposal.

12. As well as the changes her body is ultimately going to undergo.

I feel like tiny underpaid workers are putting my uterus back together and they're super bitter about it so they aren't doing a good job

19. She knows to not even waste her time on the car seat thing and leave it up to someone else.

there is absolutely no way that labor is harder than installing a car seat, i just refuse to believe it. if it is, i give up

— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) March 28, 2016

20. She's reached peak parenthood where a crying baby is weirdly a sense of comfort for her.

There is a baby crying on the plane but I don't mind it because it reminds me of Luna. Who am I please send help

— christine teigen (@chrissyteigen) January 7, 2017
