Things are hard, but without sleep our brains lack the energy to form permanent memories...or something like that.

My grandmother told me once that when my mom had me she was worried how my sister would handle it (being the only child for 4 years). So grandma told her it's a lot like putting cats together. They figure it out somehow. Whether that's true or not I always thought it was funny. T and Baby X will be great together. Look who their parents are.Jenn from WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751954970298044506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-59026871794014695262012-09-25T10:50:30.977-07:002012-09-25T10:50:30.977-07:00Good luck with the birth - looking forward to meet...Good luck with the birth - looking forward to meeting the new little one!Lynnhttp://diaryofaturtlehead.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-81217114157328303402012-09-25T09:29:59.497-07:002012-09-25T09:29:59.497-07:00Yes, hunker down & enjoy these precious last m...Yes, hunker down & enjoy these precious last moments before all hell breaks loose (kidding, kidding, beautiful new life, etc...)<br />oddly I didn't have that normal "momnesia" for the difficult early days, in fact I think I had a bit of PTSD.

I gotta think it was related to nursing or post-partum hormone changes.<br /><br />I guess that's nature's way of trying to ensure the continuity of the species ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-40842508065788464862012-09-24T21:34:36.011-07:002012-09-24T21:34:36.011-07:00The project manager in you should be very, very pr...The project manager in you should be very, very proud.

My mom once called me frantically on Skype video because she saw that I was online at 6 am my time. She asked if something were wrong; why was I up at such a time? Had I stayed up all night? <br />(Answer: "umm.... I have a baby? Don't you remember this, mom?"). Another time I was talking to my mom with Skype video with the baby in my lap and he just started crying out of nowhere. My mom freaked out. ("Why is he crying?" Answer: "Umm... I don't know; babies cry.")Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899886520159717818noreply@blogger.com
