God makes babies so cute. Right about when parents feel like there must have been a huge mistake that someone must have switched their baby with the lady in labor next door back in September- he smiles, laughs, lighting up when you enter the room. Despite efforts of three different books and endless effort; Noah manages to sleep less now than he did a month ago. We thought about writing a book about 'Sleepless in Sonora.' It kind of has a jingle to it. It stars a mom with dark circles under her eyes, with her first gray hairs. Co-starring a dad that believes that the baby is causing him to go bald (it actually started the first year of marriage- thats a whole other story), and he gets just enough sleep to do surgery and diagnosis patients. Don't worry the story is a dramatic comedy not a horror.Moms like to tell other moms how their baby slept threw the night months ago...and you must be doing something wrong. That's when the story goes to the mom's thoughts and she mentally dives across the MOPS table and strangles her. (Note all characters are fictional) Thankfully there is that one mom that has been there and has wonderful children now and brings you dinner even though its been months since the baby was born.
The next chapter is a huge wave of nausea hits and then the vomiting follows. All you can think is I hope that you aren't pregnant and hopefully you are just sick. Only a sleep deprived mom can think this way. But just to be safe you find one unused pregnancy test from the Costco pack, the one that you used every month hoping and praying that you would be pregnant. Yes you are thinking is this how the story began? Well no we aren't pregnant... Must have been something I ate.
And I got to go Noah just woke from his 5th twenty eight minute nap.
