TDFFFreak Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) 1. If you can get 30 minutes at any point where you don't have to do anything baby or chore related, you are a lucky individual. 2. Often times I'd rather do the dishes, laundry or clean then hold a baby that's been crying for 20 minutes or much longer. 3. You know they don't do much in the first 2 months when you are excited that they are smiling. 4. Dishwashers and in house washer and dryers are a must if having a baby. 5. Stairs are not your friend when you have fifty million tons of baby crap to cary to the car, kitchen, etc. 6. How can something so small have so much stuff? 7. People say that breast fed babies' poop doesn't smell badly. They lie. It just doesn't smell as badly as formula fed babies. There is a difference. 8. Thank God my baby likes the car and stroller because I'd go nuts if I couldn't get out of the house. 9. Babies like to eat. A lot. 10. Babies like to sleep, but not when you like to sleep.

AtomicCEO Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 It's like reading my own words. The first two months were the roughest for me, because the kid doesn't smile. Once he started to smile and laugh, I was soooo happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I wish I could snap my fingers and make my kids babies again, that time went way to quick. I know what you mean. My wife and I were talking the other day in an office with a lot of toddlers and babies around. We were waxing nostalgic and I suggested maybe we should adopt a baby. The look I got was totally priceless. I guess she's not ready for a baby again. our little one is having her 2nd sleep test tonight we can't wait to get rid of that oxygen tank...... :crossingfingers: Good luck, Bier!

One thing that was way cool was going through a pregnacy with T_bone65. Hmmmmm. That doesn't sound right. But you all know what I mean. Even though he is a worthless, good for nothing, ball tasting, nut rubbing, blue and silver butt nugget cowboy fan, it was still cool.

TDFFFreak Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 (edited) Beir and Skins, good luck with your various challenges. Most days I enjoy being a dad, but there are plenty of things that I miss too pre-baby. Edited July 1, 2006 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
