Exploded head of husband

Alright, this is a simple tip for all you wives out there. And listen up. If you like the way men do things for you, get you things, treat you, then you cannot, I repeat CANNOT do things that will cause their head to explode and their brain to leak out their ears.

My wife, (god I love her dearly) today, asked me to pick up a bag and a card for the gift for her parents anniversary. Now my wife (god i love her dearly) is EXTREMELY anal retentive when it comes to gift wrapping, and usually when I pick stuff out, it's not what she likes. Well today my wife (god i love her dearly) wants me to do this. She wants me to pick out a bag for the gift that will fit the box the gift goes in, then she wants me to get a card that matches the bag , then my wife (god i love her dearly) wants me to buy tissue paper that matches the card that matches the bag. Then my wife (god I love her dearly) wants me to pick out a ribbon, that matches the tissue paper, that matches the card that matches the bag to fit the box that the gift goes in.

.....the writer of this blog is no longer here his brain has EXPLODED.

Sleep I so don't need anymore....


So apparently, my son missed the "babies never sleep" train when he was born. All throughout the pregnancy friends, family all talked about how we'd be soooo tired, and sleep deprived and how stressful it is. We had friends that had a baby 3 months before us (and their child was colicky) telling us how hard it was, how much sleep they didn't get etc.

WELL... have i got something to tell you

Our son, our wonderful, beautiful, smart, son sleeps, he sleeps like a rock, he sleeps like a baby, he sleeps like every metaphor to sleeping everyone has ever made. Oh and if you think I'm kidding, keep reading.

The first few weeks of our son's life, he slept completely through the night. We would put him down at 11:30 or so and he would sleep until 5:30, 6am. Damn that's a good boy. After that it was down to 3 or 4 hour chunks. Asleep around 11 wake at 2 or 3 feed and back to sleep for the night. He always slept in our room, or in our bed. Well recently (he's 11 weeks tomorrow) we started putting him in his crib. Well one of the first nights we put him in his crib @ 11:30 at night and he slept through the night again, till 6:30. 7 Straight hours.

Oh and just cause I'm so proud of my son, last Saturday we all went to bed @ 9:30 he slept until 3am fed till4 and then slept again until 9am, almost 12 hours w/ a new born, can you believe that,

YAY SON
Daddy's little boy.
