The First Week

by Mike on Jan.15, 2009, under General

So is now officially 1 week old (don’t worry, I won’t bore you all with up-to-the-nanosecond updates…this ought to suffice until the next truly monumentous event). He is just learning how much fun it is to eat and eat and eat and eat and EAT all the time. Today he gave a whole 3 hours between feedings at one point. But perhaps she is the one who should tell you all about that.

You see, earlier this week, everyone was asking me “How’s the doing? You getting any ?” and I felt obliged to make some comment about how his feeding meshed with my need for . But doesn’t like me saying anything, because the truth of the matter is that so far, he hasn’t caused me to lose much.

is really pretty mellow, and doesn’t want a lear his mouth for fear he will stop altogether. So my consists of nudging her when I hear him (she is wearing because of my snoring), and getting a diaper from the closet for her. I lose a total of 5 minutes of whenever he wakes up, which isn’t anything at all.

Some of you out there will undoubtedly foul” when you read this, saying I should do more to help out. And I would LOVE to do more. But is out of the question. Occasionally does let me change the diaper, but this is just the way things have worked out so far.

So no more asking if I am losing . The answer is “Yes, some, but not enough to fuss over.” I am sure that the simple act of writing that statement will call down the wrath of Murphy’s Law, and the road will get rocky from here. But I won’t make a peep… won’t have me complaining at all…if anyone gets to, it’s her.
