The first of many

This weekend, while looking for a two bedroom apartment, the following conversation took place...

Daddy-to-be:  "So babe, how's this gonna work?"

Me:  "How's what gonna work?"

Daddy-to-be:  "Well, if a newborn gets up every 2-3 hours to feed and/or change, are we gonna take turns every other night or every other time the baby gets up every night?"

Me:  "I'm guessing every other time the baby gets up."

Daddy-to-be:  "Oh...well, should we get an alarm that goes off every two hours?"

Me:  "Huh?  No."

Daddy-to-be:  "Then how will we know when to wake the baby up?"

Me:  [Flash forward to a mental picture of Wyatt waking the baby up every 2 hours while it's sleeping.]  [LAUGHTER]  "You won't need an alarm clock, babe.  The baby is your alarm clock.  He/she will let you know if it needs to be fed or changed. 

Daddy-to-be: "Oh, really?  Okay."

Me:  "Babe...I'm glad we had this conversation now, rather than after the baby is born.  If the baby wants to sleep for more than than 2-3 hour intervals at night, please let it.  No need to wake a sleeping baby if it's not necessary."

I love my husband and how curious he gets.  I'm sure this will just be the first of many baby conversations we'll have.  I love it!

God Bless,
