#2 is colicky just like her sister was. These kids are determined to never let us sleep again.

Wife went out Saturday night, I couldn’t set the baby down for more than 5min. Literally held her from 5pm to 7am and didn’t sleep. Tapped the wife in after she sobered up and got a whopping 2 hour nap in.
I don't miss those days. Used to drive around with my son at 300am for no reason other then that would put him to sleep nothing else would :ROFLMAO: .

We aren’t there yet. Went through all that with #1 and it got us nowhere. She hit 5mos old and it was like overnight it got better.
#1 all that worked for us was a fucking exercise ball. we lived on a bigass yoga ball just constantly bouncing

god one thing our #2 did have done that we didn't with #1... was tongue tie and lip tie's were "fixed" by a local dentist for pennys.


we didn't have the pediatrician we have now with #1 at first, and with #2 like 2nd visit to her she was like hey go to this guy and have this done blah blah

she said that back in the day, the nurses used to just "take care of it" like it wasn't even a thought. if they saw a tongue tie or a lip tie, they just cut it and moved on with the day.

Yeah, love parents who’s kid pops out, sucks down an 8oz bottle at 6 weeks old, sleeps for 10hours, poops and repeat. “Have you guys tried xyz?”

Or

Friends kids who don’t get into anything. Dainty decorations and shit everywhere and the kids roam free and don’t touch anything. Meanwhile I’ve got my kids in a raptor cage with razor wire and they’re almost climbing out.

Like fuck dude, like i said in bored thread. He's 4 and doing flash cards, having full conversations with me, cognizant of his own existence and being observant/asking legitimate questions about stuff.

Where the fuck did my little boy go.

Though, this is when it gets fun, as I'm sure all the other older dads know. Now he's old/strong/aware enough to start doing stuff with me. Like last night he hung out with me for a little bit while I was doing brakes then eventually ADD got him and he took off with his john deere power wheels and went inside.

godspeed broski

you'll forget about it soon enough and have twins on the way
:rofl: dude i said that to megan. "what if #3 is actually #3/4?" "You shut your MOTHERFUCKIN mouth."

#3 being a 3 & 4 kinda terrified me.

neither of us have twins anywhere in our family on any side. we would be the first, that's just my life in a nutshell. i mean both our kids are aryan babies. blue eyed/blonde (possibly strawberry blonde on her) kids. my mom, dad, and me have brown eyes. my sister and megan have blue eyes. we have two kids with blue eyes. :rofl:

would make fucking sense for twins completely randomly.

We switched out my daughter’s bed from crib layout to toddler bed with and opening for her to get out. Totally knew it would happened but forgot as it’s been a week or two.

This morning as I was sitting on my bed getting dressed, faced away from the door, and she came running into my dark room and scared the fucking shit out of me.
