After reading about the robot on your LOR posts, I can't wait to read about the latest bebe adventures. As far as the missing data posts go, I was figuring that it was just some geek code for "I can't for the life of me remember what the heck happened between these two paragraphs." Congratulations!

Your Mom and Dad are going to be the greatest grandparents. Your father actually watched my middle son when my mother was sick...he was great with him. When I get a chance, I'll type my official list of unsolicited advice/experiences for you. Congratulations to you and #1GF!!!! Your Mom and Dad are going to be the greatest grandparents.

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 01:00:02 +0000 http://www.dyers.org/blog/?p=1933#comment-108546 CONGRATULATIONS! And it's a mind-blowing experience. Lots of fun, lots of no-sleep. And if you want, Parenthacks (www.parenthacks.com) and Ask Moxie (www.askmoxie.org) are good for advice. Big thoughts right now: 1. Don't sweat it. The odds are in your favor. And babies bounce. Someday I'll write about how many falls my kid has had and she's a pretty damn good kid. 2. Armin A. Brott (www.mrdad.com) has great parenting advice. I prefer him over the What to Expect books because those started to freak me out after awhile with all the paranoia talk. 3. Get lots of sleep. Make sure #1GF gets lots of rest when the baby comes. The lack of sleep is one big contributor to the baby blues. 4. Welcome to chaos. When parents told me that I wasn't fully prepared, I was like "yeah, yeah..." BUT THEY'RE RIGHT. Nothing will go the way you think it will and that sometimes is a very good thing. 5. Make sure you take the time to tell #1GF that you love her and take care of her when the baby comes. I learned the hard way that a baby is like a live hand grenade -- it takes out EVERYTHING. I remember a lot of moms and dads (myself included) having a hard time with their relationship once the kid arrived. If you can get the grandparents to give you a date night on occasion, DO IT. DO IT. You do have to remember why the hell you decided to have a baby in the first place. CONGRATULATIONS! And it’s a mind-blowing experience. Lots of fun, lots of no-sleep.
