- Why don't we have three arms?
- The person who coined the phrase "sleep like a baby" could NOT have actually had a baby.
- I gave up cheese and my hips for this kid. Could she give up her all-nighters? Or learn how to soothe herself to sleep? I'm worried this foreshadows our future give/take relationship.
- How long do I get to abuse the new baby excuse?
That is all.

some amateur insight? 1-we need two for the balance, three would throw us off and make things MUCH too easy. 2-this is VERY true, it's like the whole driving on a parkway and parking on a driveway thing, very confusing why people came up with these phrases...we should find them and talk with them about changing it. Maybe to "sleeping like a grandpa"...because that makes sense. 3-perhaps? the soothing herself to sleep is a hard one, because it helps her but it's torture for you, this probably will affect your give/take relationship ;) 4-umm...until she is 4...maybe 5. because you can always say I just had a baby up until 6 months, then you can say her schedule has changed up until 18 months, and then you say you have a toddler, until 4 years and then she can talk back to you. :D p.s.-you are an awesome mom, and I know this because you are awesome. :D Hope this brought a smile to your face. Love you!!!!!
I think you can use the new baby excuse for a LONG time. :) I know I do!
I'm just catching up on your last two posts and I have to laugh. Seriously, the first two weeks were so hard. I loved my baby, but I was also mad at her for being born and coming early! People were so excited for us, but I felt so miserable and scared and wanted to bawl all the time. It's shocking when they let you leave the hospital, I kept trying to drag it out because I did not want to go. I remember thinking, "Why did we ever think this was a good idea? She is going to be an only child!" Seriously, the hormones are just crazy as your body tries to get back to some new normal. It's HORRIBLE to hear her in the middle of the night and be so tired and KNOW that you are the only one who can help her and feed her. Ryan and I would have to trade off holding her when she was fussy to keep each other from going crazy. It gets better, I promise. I'm sure you are doing such a great job! You've probably had a million bits of advice, but I swear by a combination of Babywise and Healthy Sleep Habits/Happy Baby.
