From Educated to Dunce in 2 minutes

So, how do you remove 6 combined degrees from two people (An associate, 3 bachelors and 2 Master)??

Add a screaming child into the mix. This is what happened this morning. Mom and I are trying to feed the baby. Nothing we (by “we” I mean her, I’m just standing around feeling worthless) did seemed to help. He just wouldn’t eat but was crying like he was hungry. “Maybe we’re trying to feed him when he’s not hungry,” I said. So, we let our little bundle of joy fall asleep and have HIM tell us when he wanted to eat. After all, he ate REALLY well at the last feeding.

An hour later and he wakes up. Nothing really has changed. He just won’t take the nipple. He’s getting so frustrated, mom is getting frustrated and dad is just watching the whole thing like some doomed circus. We had to call in the nurse to assist. She came in and somewhere around thirty minutes later he FINALLY starts taking in milk.

So, now, mom and I are talking about what we need to do over the next few days. What else do we have to do right now (2:45 am)? This is why coffee was invented!!

On a more uplifting note: We are taking him home today!!!

We cannot wait!! We’ve waited MANY years for him and we are truly blessed!!

God is good (all the time)
