V's in the shower. I'm pounding caffeine since she can't have any until after the surgery. In three hours, I'll be in an operating room. In four hours, I'll he a father.

Today's the big day. It's like every European vacation, DSM Shootout, rally, Christmas, and birthday rolled into one. It's also just a little bit terrifying.

Wish me luck. Pictures/videos on Facebook when things settle down at the hospital later today.

Thanks for always being more than a car club, 2GNT.
Thanks for being family.

Here goes nothin'...

Good luck man!

You won't have much to do, and the tedium will drive you crazy. Just remember, be there for V, hold her hand, make sure she knows everything is going to be okay. Your life may be changing, but this is new and scary for her too.

I expect text messages!

Once I'm confident nothing bad will happen when she sleeps, we'll start playing every parent's favorite bedtime game - Does This Smell Like Chloroform?

When she first started basically sleeping through the night she was getting up around 5:30-6, eating and then sleeping for another hour.

You're one of those parents I hate. Quit gloating and shut up )

The first month is brutal Brian...at least it was for our boys. I was not a good person to be around. After they started really gaining weight we mixed a little rice cereal (teaspoon in about 100ml) in their milk and that made the nights much better. Pretty much the last 6 to 9 months they sleep from 6:30/7 until about 6:30/7...11 to 12 hours. They really are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Sleep or not, I just wish she'd get into a routine, ya know? Sometimes she sleeps for 5 hours, sometimes for 3. Sometimes, she spends those three hours screaming.

And then I read that, just when they start to sleep through the night, they start developing motor skills, which they practice in their sleep, waking themselves up.

And, after that, it's teething.

ZOMGZ.

Pass the Jack.
