A Night With Jase

****WARNING****
- Reading this post may deter you from having kids. Do not read if you are on the fence.
- If you have PTSD from having kids it is not recommended that you proceed with reading this post.
- If you are currently expecting your first child, quit what you are doing right now and go into hibernation until that baby is born. In fact, hook yourself up to an IV for sustenance - eating will take up precious hibernation time.
- If you have a good sense of humor, carry on.


10:00pm:
Jase is sound asleep... This is going to be a good night!

10:30pm:
Crap. He's crying... It's ok... It's ok... Let's do the check:
1. Can't be hungry - he ate an hour ago.
2. The diaper!!! Yes. Ok he's wet - no problem. 

10:45pm:
Still crying. Oh... He peed on his outfit. Well that one lasted almost an hour. Oh thank goodness... He went back to sleep.

11:30pm:
Again??? Ok hungry man... Midnight snack time.

12:30am:
This is a test. This has got to be a test...

1:00am:
Ok- I've determined this is not a test. This is torture. Forget waterboarding... I will confess to anything (Yes, I WAS the second gunman on the grassy knoll) at this point to figure out how to soothe this child.

1:30-3:30am:
Waterboarding Crying continues. I resolve that (1) he's got a heat rash and (2) I am a terrible mother.

3:45am:
He sleeps!!!

5:00am:
Oh my - that was the best hour of sleep of my life.

Better luck next time... But oh that face...

  1. You crack me up! Grayson got a bad rash his first week too but it ended up just being normal irritation from his skin and the onesie he was wearing. Take lots of video of this time period, you will forget it. I know that sounds stupid but you will. Okay not that stupid-you're sleep deprived... you will forget it!

  3. Haha! I just stopped putting clothes on Beckett because he would always be wet. Make sure "it" is pointed down. :) You got this, it's all a blurr the first few weeks.
