Home Alone
Last night, I had my first "real alone time" with both kids.  My wife went on a little shopping trip, and then to a movie... leaving me with little girl, and the 4 week old boy for like 6 hours.  The first few hours were pretty hectic... but then I got to feed the boy for the first time.  He has only been boob fed until now.  We have about 60-80 bags (our freezer is full of boob juice) ready f...
No F&*%kin Zipper Pajamas…Any Where?
This is something that really bothers me for some stupid reason.  Why is it nearly impossible to find newborn and infant pajamas with zippers.  What is the deal?  Zippers are way easier, faster, and look better.  So why would they do this to us.  I was at Kohl's today, and the Carters rep, just happened to be there.   The conversion went like this... Carter's Lady:  Can I help you find som...

Wyatt Adler Wainscott was born on January 15 2010 .  He is a big boy.  Coming out weighing 9lbs and 21 inches long.

The day stared at 4 am.  Everything progressed nice and smooth and Wyatt was born at 3:22 in the after noon.  We left for home the next day.

Since we came home, everything has been great.  The baby breastfeeding like and champ!  He has already surpassed his birth weight and is sleeping great.  I would have to say that things couldn’t be going better.  And as for out little girl, Marley… she seems to really love having the little guy around and is realy great with him.

On my first trip out of the house since bringing home baby, I went and purchased a new king size bed.  I cant believe that we hadn’t done that sooner.  Sleeping is really good, and there is tons of room int here for the whole family.

The diaper thing is getting a little out of control… at last count, I am changing about 17-20 diapers a day, between the two kids.   Time to really start pushing the potty training.

Well back to work… check back soon!

My wife’s best friend Rachel took the amazing photos… Thanks Rach!  Email me if you want her to take some photos for you… she is amazing.

PS!!!  If you need a website or blog made, I will make one for you for free, and show you how edit and set it all up over the phone or Email.  Just call or email Josh at 253-219-7309  or newdadscliffnotes@gmail.com

pregnant

Well, I have the car and bags all packed up again.  Just waiting for the call from my wife, who is still working, that its time to go.  I feel like I am on constant alert.   But, lately… its been more like hurry up and wait.  I don’t know if this little guy is ever going to come.  I wonder how big he is now.  About a month ago, the ultrasound read 7.9lbs.  Got to be at least a 10 pounder.

Wait and see…

This Kid is Coming… Soon

Empty Kids Room... a scary one... not ours.

I remember, with the first kid, everything baby was all new and exciting and stuff.  We were always talking to the baby bump, giving him lots of music and stuff to listen to, and I think the baby really loved the Tony Robbins stuff, Kidding.  You know what I mean.  Everything was all fresh and new, and you wanted to do everything right.  I mean, even the food I cooked for my wife was way healthier.

I dont know, I guess I feel like this kid might be getting the shaft.  Theres no music everynight, no special book readings to the bump.  All that is going to stop, I mean start, tonight.  I need the give this kid some specail time.  Marley really seems to love music and books, and I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that we did all that cool stuff when she was still in the belly.

But now is the time act.  The baby is coming two months.  But we think it could be sooner, and we have done nothing to get ready.  With the first one… by know, we already had all the baby stuff, nursery completed, names picked out, stroller and car seats handled.  This time… nothing.

Is it the same for everyone else?
