the baby waits a few weeks AFTER signing day to be born. Otherwise, he can forget it.

All they do is sleep, eat and poop.

And cry at random times in the middle of the night. Just sayin.
For the sixth straight year, MSU will finish in the bottom 20 in the country in total offense. There are all kinds of reasons for
that, but it's hard to excuse it by pointing to the "state of the program" when Croom arrived, especially considering how well the defense has
played over that same span of time--Brad Locke, November 25, 2008

Especially when you're making $1.2 million.

Fair enough. As my grandfather would say, "that's woman's work."

Whether you are the one dealing with the baby or not, nobody is getting much sleep when a baby is crying. One of the most piercing sounds known to man. Of
course, if you have soundproof walls and your wife will deal with it, then I guess you are good to go.

son did not sleep through the night completely until he was 7 months old. I thought I'd never get a full night's sleep for the rest of my life.

Nope. And what you say was the point of my original post.

either that, or you had the best baby ever.
The months 0-6, were way worse than 18-24. Actually the first six months are the worst. |

Both my children (1 & 3) were fabulous until they were about 2-3 weeks old. | #13 | ||

After that they were total wretches for the first 4-6 months. Unless Mullen is giving the baby the boob or the bottle, there isn't a whole lot to do with
1-2 week olds.

That's why I recommend a split floor plan. Grown-ups on one side of the house, kids on the other. A baby monitor, turned down to almost sub-audible levels,
is a good solution. After we had kids, my wife developed superhuman hearing, especially in her sleep. I swear I think she could wake up to a gnat farting 200
yards away.
I still slept heavy, knowing that my precious bundles of joy were about 50 feet away, behind two closed doors, and Mama could hear them blink their eyes. Newborns are great to keep you company while you're watching football on the TV though.  |

I've got an 8 month old. We had no problems at all for the first 4 or 5 months. | #16 | ||

However, the couple of months have been a pain. Mainly because we seem to have an out-of-town trip every time she gets on a good schedule. The first few months were easy. |

We have a 2 year old, and the first 2-3 weeks was terrible. Everything from the baby crying, to wife having postpartum, it was a nightmare.
After about 3 months, things got to some sense of normal. Dear lord, I can't believe we are thinking about doing it all over again. |

He's just gotta tell wifey, "Look, hon. I have a $1.2 mil/yr job I need to go to in the morning. Can you take the baby, please?"
