Top 5 Surprises so far with Brayden:
5. You know what they say about guys with big hands? What.....they wear big gloves. My child is Sasquatch, at 2 weeks old he easily has the hands and feet of a 5 week old.
4. Brayden still isn't cordless, we're 2 weeks out and he still hasn't lost his umbilical cord yet. We can't wait for it to fall off so we can give him a real bath (he's not fond of the sponge variety) and we can throw on a diaper without worrying about yanking it off. Plus we're dying to see if its going to be an innie or an outtie (for the record, stephanie thinks mine looks like someone stabbed there finger into my belly and it stuck that way, apparently i have a waaaaaaay-innie). NOTE: As I wrote this his cord actually fell off, great timing, and its an innie for the record.
3. Parpdon me, do you happen to have any Grey Poop'on? I'd heard the stories, but nothing can prepare you for the real deal.
2. Time Ratio Breakdown: Broken down by hours, brayden's average day is roughly 19 hrs sleeping, 5 hours on the boob, and 1 hour alert (yes, it is 25 hrs, but i give him about an hour of booby sleep a day).
We actually have a tie for the number one spot:
1A. Brayden's "other" Mom: Shelby has taken on the unofficial role of brayden's mom-in-waiting. She is absolutely obsessed with brayden, everywhere he goes, she is right behind to make sure he is alright. From a dog who gets scared of her own tail wagging, this comes as an absolute shocker.
1B. The Hair: That he has any at all was surprise enough (it took margaret 2 years to grow hers), but that he had a head full of dark brown hair really took us by surprise. he's in the running with TomKat's Suri for the upcoming baby Revlon commercial.
( More Brayden Pictures )Top 5 Reasons It's Great to be Brayden:
5. The Help: He's got 2 adults and 2 dogs waiting on him hand and foot (which is a big task if you recall Number 5 of the "Surprises" list).
4. Hand-me-downs: Enough Smocking and Gingham to clothe all the children in China at his disposal. And he makes them ALL look good.
3. The Fact that UPS now has a dedicated route to our house: Our readers generosity has been astounding. Brayden hasn't quite concurred box knife yet, but we're working on it.
2. He's living every college kids dream: Brayden sleeps and drinks all day, not too bad.
1. Two words: Sponge Baths
Top 5 Reasons Its No Fun to be Brayden:
5. His best friend, aside from us and the dogs, is a stuffed Giraffe, who doesn't talk.
4. We've read him the same book about 5 times already, and those silly monkeys still keep falling off the bed.
3. Neither his mom nor his dad are particularly good singers (see point #4).
2. All that milk and no cookies (or ice-cream or chocolate for that matter.....of which we have plenty)
1. Diaper changes don't come quick enough (see #3 from "Surprises" above)
Top 5 Numbers Between 1 and 5:
5. The number 2, Jeff's number in baseball, always thought it was a pretty good number).
4. The number 3, The Babe's number (which is remotely related to Brayden). Shout-out to Jonathan Ruth, the great-great nephew of the great George Herman "Babe" Ruth.
3. The number 2.5, its the mid-way point between 1 and 5.
2. The number 5, Go big or go home.
1. The number 1, there's only 1 number 1, because if you had 2 then it'd be 11 (admittedly stolen from Talladega Nights).
