So I had to go in and change him .. and then could NOT get him down, he got really amped up and upset. Just yelled (bitchily) YOUR TURN to DH (in the basement, oblivious) but he did come upstairs and lo and behold - Jack - is asleep. Well, well daddy. Well done. Perhaps we need to draft you more often.
Wheee!

Re: And then he pooped.
"He just needed daddy," says DH.

It's been a year and I still have to tell Dh to help.
I'm glad he went to bed. Tell your dh, he can do it every night
first one is always easy.
LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
Life is beautiful!
I KNOW!! It's awful. I mean I love seeing him grow, it's magical - but it's TOO FAST! I thought I'd have a little baby for a long time - it feels like a minute. I know you're in the newborn blur but hang on to as much as you can, every day. I would love, love, love to hold "newborn Jack" again.
