We've been in the hospital for a long time now....

Things I have learned

1)      What Urate crystals are – I can tell you it’s REALLY fun to have to ask the question at 3am…

2)      That my sense of humor (mostly about poo and fart jokes) is more applicable now than ever

3)      The term : “Poo-nami” (thanks Susannah & Neil)

Poo-Nami

      1.      –noun

Usually, a giant poo that your child has made that takes you by surprise

4)      We really love “Big Jugs” (the person, not in general)

5)      As we have started looking into the Bris, we’re pretty sure that Samson is dealing with the stress by emotionally eating. Clearly nothing to do with normal baby progression.

6)      That at 3am, when your child has been feeding for pretty much 3 hours non-stop, you can find all sorts of solace on the internet from other sleep deprived people writing about their own harrowing nights. You learn about weird things like Cluster feeding and growth spurts. In the end all you’re really thinking is: I think Sammy eats like me – as much as possible because it tastes good as opposed to stopping when he’s full. Crap.

Important statistics we are keeping track of:

1)      Number of times a nurse walked in and said that the doctor will take Samson for his circumcision at 2pm: 1 (What if we were sleeping?!?!?!)

2)      Number of times Danielle has started a sentence with “if you’d read the Baby Whisperer….”: 5

3)      Amount of minutes it took me to skim the baby whisperer at 4am with a crying child: 25

4)      Number of times the room service people have delivered a meal (barging in) when Danielle is breast feeding: every time. Without fail. I think it’s a game for them now.

5)      2 words: one wiper. 1.

6)      First record listened to: Billy Joel, The Stranger

7)      Number of times I was typing an email and fell asleep with my finger on the letter “o” which looked like: “oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo” (this really happened, but brons and shai – I’m sure you can see even deeper humor)
