Steven eats every 3 hours 15 minutes... every 3 hours 26 minutes or every 3 hours 13 minutes. I'm not kidding. He has a pattern. Maybe it's because of the baby Einstein thing....
I adore that little child. I just have to see him moving in his little crib and I feel myself get floaty.
However, I'm trying to Balance things. I AM. As most people might know I took a maternity leave, and since I the company, I can take it for as long as I want. I'm thinking I'll be out of work for at least 5 months or so, but it's not like I'll completely unplug, you know, they can call me ask me for stuff, but it's basically impossible to keep a married life, a tough job and a child all together. My dad told me something I'll never forget:
"Take things easy or prepare to dive into shit."
What? You were expecting some corny phrase here, like 'YOU CAN DO IT, daughter.' Umm... no... You won't hear that from my dad, unless he's pretending he's in one of his movies. (He's a director, give him a break hehe).
Anyways... Rink and I have been talking, and well, we're new parents, there are a lot of things we still can't understand, no matter how many books you read. The other day I was nursing Steven and he suddenly started crying and I didn't know WHY he was crying because I had changed his diaper and nursed him and... given him a little sponge bath... then I started humming something and he soothed completely down and went back to sleep. No one can predict your child's personality... so yeah.
So... Rink and I have decided to share the taking care of the baby process. Truly. Rink is wonderful XD he can actually handle the diaper change without a problem!! Ayyyy! I know... I'm rambling about my husband again... SUE ME. But it has been A LOT MORE fun with the BOTH of us looking after him. Rink told me to 'USE' him, which I'm doing with great pleasure. It's really tender to see him holding Steven and slowly rocking him or just cooing to him. You have to admit it, the best part about talking with Steven is that he's A GREAT listener. jk jk
Things I've learned so far about parenthood (Steven is two weeks):
- Make sure you have a camera around when someone is doing faces at the baby. It's hilarious.
- Babies frown: specially when you do something stupid like turning the TV and leaving the weather channel on. (it happens!)
- Dads and Moms have three hours to do what they must do, once the baby alarm goes off, it's baby time.
- Babies get hiccups easily if you don't pat their backs
- Sharing time, the three: Mom, dad and baby, is the best thing ever.

When it's my turn to put the kid to sleep, I admit... what I do, is I take him out for a fast drive near the bay area. The rumble of the car has him ZONKED out in no time! Love it! No more crying! huzzah!
He's your son... that was kinda predictable....
YOU TAKE HIM DRIVING?!?!
