I googled that. <br /><br />My brain somehow registered that smell while I was breastfeeding and in some strange way I thought "Hmmm. Surely someone else has noticed this". That seemed completely logical in my mind.<br /><br />Right now I'm a very sleep deprived mom of a 2 week old boy. I haven't dealt with a newborn since my daughter 15 years ago.<br /><br />I live in 3 hour increments. Every time I change his diaper I find myself chanting the words "Is he gonna pee pee. Is he gonna pee pee" to the underground theme music from super mario brothers. (If you don't remember that song. Look it up on youtube)<br />It reminds me I'm playing against the clock everytime I open that sucker up.<br /><br />This hit so dang close to home it is scary. But it makes me feel so much better that we are not the only couple on the planet freaking out.<br /><br />I got through this successfully with my daughter and she is a well adjusted 15 yr old...but right now I feel like throwing up my hands and quoting Andy Dwyer...<br /><br />" I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know I'm doing it really, really well."<br /><br />Thank you so much for this post!!<br />Sincerely.<br />Thank you<br /><br /><br />aimfortheheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306388520831750317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385734613853151197.post-70685016045315505552014-09-13T15:41:07.312-06:002014-09-13T15:41:07.312-06:00So funny, made me lol.

The duchess has decided that she likes to wake up at 6:30 AM. That also happens to be the time that the Captain finally gets back to sleep. <br /><br />Duchess goes to daycare during the week, so she just hangs out with me in the morning and I drop her off around 7:30 when I go to work. The weekends are a bit more complicated and Stevie and I have to work together to optimize sleep possibilities. Here is what we do:<br /><br />I sleep as best as I can during the night while Stevie feeds the Captain on and off. Around 5:30 or 6 I wake up and take the Captain downstairs and we watch Doctor Who together. Duchess wakes up around 6:00-6:30 and by that time Captain is asleep on my belly - which is fun. <br /><br />Duchess comes downstairs rubbing her eyes and curls up with Captain and I on the couch. Then we watch Yo Gabba Gabba and I silently wonder how many drugs the makers of Yo Gabba Gabba do in a day. <br /><br />We remain here as long and as quiet as possible to allow Stevie time to regenerate her supermom abilities. Sometimes that is a half hour, sometimes a little more. <br /><br />Eventually Stevie wakes up and comes down and asks how much Yo Gabba Gabba we've been watching. I lie and say one episode (it's more like 4). Then she tags in (we literally tag in and out with high fives) and I go up and shower. Confession: I usually sit down and fall asleep in the shower. Sometimes the water turning cold is my alarm clock. <br /><br />Anyway... Things have been hectic and hard, but are getting better. Like I mentioned in the post - we are getting into a rhythm now, which is allowing us to spend a bit more time together and not just tagging in and out. We went and saw "This is 40" the other night, which was funny but is basically two hours of people screaming at each other. Not the break from kids I was necessarily expecting. <br /><br />Wow you almost got a whole new blog post in the comment response. Oh well.
