New pics of the be-be!

[redsquirrel]

I will have to say I cannot believe how freaking busy I am with just this new little person. I had to call the cleaning lady- I'm just not gonna waste my weekends cleaning when I could be spending it with her.

She is sleeping through the night, giggling, and can pretty much hold her head up. We are working on sitting up by ourselves.

Wow now that is a cute baby! How old is she? I have a lil girl comming in 2 more months cant wait.

[Bouncer]

Very cute!

And she is hard core too. She drinks fucken lemon juice!

3 1/2 months... And thank you. I don't usually like to shove pics of my kid down people's throat, but updates are always nice. :)

Your life is about to change- I'll tell you right now. Here is my advice to you to make the transition easier for both of you:

1- when your girl comes home from the hospital, ask her constantly what you can do to help- even if you know the answer- still ask.

2- ask her when she would like some time to herself, and you can keep the baby for a couple hours

3- when both of you are home, and the baby starts crying, don't just assume that she will tend to the baby.

4- when she goes back to work- HELP around the house. Sonis and I just went through this

I get the baby ready in the morning, and drop her at the sitter's. He picks her up, and it does allow me to go to the gym for an hour. However, during this time, the 2 of them pretty much just fall asleep together. So, I get home and start dinner. We sit down to eat at 7:30, and from there I bathe her, get her jammies on, and put her to sleep. So, other than picking her up, his workload was nowhere near mine. And, I am still doing the laundry, the cleaning and the grocery shopping on the weekends. Even if it's just to say you will give her a bath that night...whatever. Just don't use the excuse that she does it better- you won't get better at it without practice, and it really just puts a lot of pressure on us.

That being said- when they get to be this age, they are wonderful. In the first few months they are sort of boring. But when they start responding to you, and smile at you- it's the coolest thing ever.

BAHHH! That's what we put in her bottles. It's a new supplement. :rofl:

That's so cool. I cannot even imagine the how it feels to have your own child smiling and responding to you. Congrats

Thanks for the pointers red.
1- That sounds easy enough

4- She is gonna get to work from home for awhile, and I dont have a real job so I will be baby sitter alot she can clean.
thanks for the tips and thanks for sharing your photos they get me more pumped up for her to come already. We just did the 4D ultrsound last night its crazy the stuff they can do these days.

She is so cute! Sometimes I wish my daughter was a baby again... She is 3 now and seems to be growing up so fast!

Rocket; be prepared to go from tough guy to a ball of mush when your little girl is born.... Little girls will do that to their daddy.... Even tho I am pretty sure you don't like country you should give the song "tough little boys" a listen.... it is pretty bang on about what happens to guys when they have a little girl!

Wait- you're kidding about all of this right? Just because Grandma lives around the corner, doesn't mean she's at your beck and call...and just cause she's working from home, doesn't mean she's gonna want to clean. Aside from feeding, changing and bathing her, she does have to take care of herself too.

The only drawback to having kids and becoming so busy and burdened, (but in a good way), is how relationships suffer post kids. I see why people get divorced. There's definitely a total disconnect once you have kids. You're not only pulled in 8 different directions, but you just have very little time for yourself, let alone each other. I wouldn't trade her for anything, but there is definitely a struggle to make time for the actual marriage. I feel sometimes like I'm married to a friend of mine. I don't know if it's the hormones, and my body right now to add to it, but it's definitely an elephant in the room.

Rocket- do you guys have a name picked out?

[Bouncer]

rocket has it all figured out until the baby comes and turns his life upside down. lmao.

"sounds easy enough" hahha, my ass.

I know, right?

[Bouncer]

I know, right?

he will be a good dad. he will just have to call uncle bouncer anytime the baby ask him questions about school or math or thinking or life. :retard:

[redsquirrel]

That's probably the funniest line about this whole thing. When I was pregnant, sonis was like "i'm gonna be the best dad, etc". That may be true- but when they say that, they sure as hell aren't thinking about the first 4 years of their life

[Shibby]

This is kind of sounding like a Sonis bash. Just to be fair, I'm sure he does his fair share of stuff even if it doesn't all pertain to the baby. No?
