I had a choice to make today:
1) Kill my dog for waking the baby that I had just spent 3 hours rocking and nursing to sleep.
2) Take the screaming babe to the mall to buy a noise machine.
Killing my dog seemed like a lot of work so I went to the Brookstone at the mall to get a noise machine like the one we have in our room.
The lady at the cash register kept asking me, in a million different ways, if I wanted to buy the optional warranty. I kept telling her "No", in the same way, so as to be consistent, easy to understand, and VERY CLEAR.
And yet she kept asking. At one point I wanted to grab her by her wearable massage vest, pull her across the register, and give her a real close look at the bags underneath my eyes. I would then have pointed to the item I was buying: AN INFANT SLEEP MACHINE, and to my now peacefully sleeping 2 week old in her stroller. I think that would have helped her understand. Instead I practically shoved my debit card in her face with a very fake smile, AFTER she asked me if I wanted to buy the stupid digital clock by the register.
Please.
Don't.
Mess.
I will post more pictures later - the camera's in the baby's room, and the baby is sleeping, so there's no way I'm going in there.

Oh you poor mama! Hang in there!
I think 3 months is the magic number - at least for me. The first few months are a blur with all the sleepless nights. Hang in there! There will be a day soon where you actually feel rested.
And to think I was on the other end of the phone while this was all taking place....
Oh my gosh my beagle is going wake up my baby for sure! Maybe I should get one of those noise machines now...
The noise machine is my favorite baby item! Pretty sure a dog wouldn't have lived very long had I had one. That would stress me out if a dog woke up my babes when they were napping as newborns...good job keeping your cool!
