Back to Work, Back to Sleep
Ah well, paternity leave is over and it's back to work tomorrow. My job gives us a week off, and since I worked from the hotel in California I saved it until now. I took off on Friday last week, and since Monday was a holiday I was able to steal that extra day, but it's all over now. Don't ask why I'm up at midnight...oh wait, I know why, because somebody decided to pitch a fit about going to sleep and just drifted off a few minutes ago. Of course I did her bath, put on her nighttime lotion, fed her, tried the swing, walked around, sang (OK that one I admit would keep anyone awake. That Scottish Yeti on TV sings way better then me...) but nothing seemed to work--the screaming continued. Her Papa walks in and carries her around for 3 minutes and BAM...off to dreamland. Oooh that little stinker--I'll get even with her!

Thats too funny. She wanted her Papa. Sweet girl already.
Sooo cute! And where are those pictures we have been demanding?!?
More close-ups please!
Ahhhh, the quirks of our infants -- you just wore her down and did the hard part! I agree -- more photos please!
Funny! Hope your 1st day back at work is a good one!
ooohhh... take lots of pics to work; the first day back is HARD!!! and i agree w/2momswithaplan- more pics please (even if it is a pain ;-) )
At least Sabrina sleeps from 11 pm to 4:30 or 5 am. Count your blessings! For quite some time Matteo subjected us to feedings every two hours. Thankfully, we are down to one or two nightly.
Oh, and I completely understand about the grandmotherly advice. Oy.
I think I SMELL better and that is how I put her to sleep. Or maybe I am the Mother. HA.
Good luck on your first day back to work!
BTW- I wanted to ask you guys. I'm doing this feature on gay dads for my blog. Would you be interested? It's painless I promise. Email me at jasahab@gmail.com if you're interested and I'll email you the details.

Just came across your blog...OMG, she's SO CUTE! Sorry to hear about the sleep...What do people say? Oh yeah it gets better. I wouldn't know, I have 4 boys (11,2,3) and i still can't sleep! Congrats, you have a gorgeous family : )
Oh wait...I said 4 boys...not 3...lol! I guess I must've added my husband in there without thinking...too funny! That must mean something, right?
