My How Things Have Changed

It is really amazing what you will begin to get really excited about once you have a kid. Take for example the following exciting moments in parenthood:

1. *burp* "Good girl! Did that feel good?"
2. *toot* "Good girl! Did that feel good?"
3. "Wow! You made a dirty diaper. Did that feel good?"
4. "My goodness that's a wet diaper. Did that feel good?"
(is anyone noticing a pattern here?)
5. "You slept for two whole hours! Did that feel good?" (You bet! Mom and dad are in heaven!!!)

Tammie and I have now begun the long (long...) process of becoming accustomed to sleep deprivation. (I honestly never knew that I could function on so little sleep.) Last night Bailey gave us a present. After she ate, we put her down at about 11:30 (No...we did not keep her up until 11. She WOKE up around 10:30, and with her "precise" feeding instructions, we were unable to put her down again until 11:30), and she slept for three and a half hours before getting up at 3 am. Ate again and was put down at 4, then slept until 6. Tammie and I got a whopping five and a half hours of sleep!

The sad part is, we were really and truly excited. We were just as excited over the two dirty diapers in the middle of the night. (Man, we're dorks...)
