For my West Coast friends who wonder what the hell I'm doing typing entries at 1:47am...
It's the price of parenthood. Babies sleep when they wanna, cry for no reason at all (maybe they're trying out noises they like!) and go thru an un-Godly amount of diapers between 10pm and 5am.
My almost three month old, second born girl (codenamed lil Punkin') has just closed her eyes after spending nearly an hour cooing and smiling at me as I waited for her to fall asleep. The Kraut-compound is rather small and I can't have lil Punkin' waking her big sister or her exhausted Mama.
Then I'd have much bigger problems.
She'd scream if I moved her: through trial and error the only thing that works is waiting by the kitchen exhaust fan - guess that white noise can't be beat!
But I am.
Beat, that is...
Raging Kraut
25 weeks and counting until I get to experience all the same joys & pain.
I got to spend a few days in Edmonton with my 13 month old niece. On one of our excursions, as I was lifting her out of her car seat, she looked up at me , smiled and said "Da Da". "Oh crap" I thought, because her Dad has been so busy with his police work, Makenna has latched on to the first male who has spent a couple of full days with her. Two minutes later we passed a dog, and she said "Da Da". Guess I should have shaved that day.
