Messing up our child

Lisa just got a couple of books on breastfeeding, as well as books on what to expect in your child's first year. I love these things, because they say that everything we are doing is absolutely WRONG! We are scarring our child for life.

Exhibit A: the pacifier. Apparently, you're just not supposed to give the kid a pacifier. Oh well. YOU sit up with "Yell-anor" at 3AM for two hours and see what you do. When the kid just wants to suck on something, the pacifier works, and you don't question it. I like this guy's attitude (caution, he does curse a bit). If you read his entry for each week of his child's life, you'll get the idea as to where we are on the scale of exasperation...

This is the third day I've been back at work, and so far Lisa isn't going completely crazy yet. She hasn't even been thrusting the kid into my arms when I walk in the door either. I've been hurting though, because I have to stay awake for 9 hours at work, no naps. Especially rough when you're up until 1AM watching Monday Night Football.

No new pictures today. I haven't been home to take them or upload them, sorry. Hopefully later this week I will find some time...

yo lisa -

i was just thinking of you today when i got your announcement! i can't find a phone number for you - send me your number and i will annoy you from the left coast.

everybody looks happy and fine. keep up w/the nursing. the pacifier is fine unless they're about 7 years old - then you have a problem!
