i tell you that this past few days have been a good refresher on why having a newborn sucks
my poor wife told me she doesn't even feel like a human because all the baby wants is to breastfeed all day and night. she asked me to take the baby at around 6 this morning and she went to lay down in the living room. i walked around the bedroom and talked to my daughter for about 20 minutes until she went to sleep then i put her on her dock-a-tot next to me on the bed and i closed my eyes. my wife comes in about 45 minutes later worried that my son was gonna be late for school and me late for work. as soon as she came in the room, the baby started to grumble and wake up. lol those damn baby senses are no joke. i told my wife to go back and lay down but she only managed another 10 minutes or so until she came back. i played with the baby for an hour or so yesterday while my wife and son went to the pool. i cook some good dinners, clean up, buy some nice desserts, occupy my son as best as i can, but it's still rough. thank goodness the baby is easier than my son though. aside from all the sleeplessness, the poop on my hand, the frustration of buttoning up pajamas (why don't they make all of them with zippers?!?!?!?!), and everything else, i love holding my daughter. i can look at her for hours lol. i love seeing how strong my wife can be (she's in her second year of her MBA and taking online classes right now). i love having new life in our family.
