It's hard to believe Luke is already a month old. It seems like he's already been around a long time, but the time has also gone very quickly. He's already grown so much he won't fit most newborn diapers anymore.
Speaking of diapers, we're having trouble getting diapers that are effective. You'd think that diaper manufacturers would understand that consumers won't be satisfied if they end up brown and yellow. It's not like we're making mistakes putting the diapers on. It's quite simple, just cover the danger zones. Yet somehow these diapers aren't doing the job. Not just some of them, I mean 4 out of 5 of the brands we try fail. I'm no diaper genius, but what are these people testing their diapers on?
I'd like to thank everyone who's brought us food, watched Luke, etc. Sometimes it's difficult to recharge our batteries, so the occasional meal or babysitting really helps.
Luke has been a menace the last couple of days. There's a vicious cycle where if Luke starts getting really tired, he gets cranky, and crankiness keeps him awake. So, for example, two nights ago he didn't sleep much. Then he didn't sleep at all during the day yesterday because he was so cranky. What's making it more difficult is Melissa is trying to get him to put himself to sleep in his crib. When he's cranky, he just lays there for hours on end, fussing and fidgeting. It's a good thing my wife has patience; I'd have given up a long time ago.
Luke get closer to smiling daily. We've caught a couple on camera, but I still think most of the smiles are accidental. He has a lot of strength in his legs. I can keep him steady and he'll stand on his own power. He probably could roll over, but I don't think he has any idea what he's doing when he moves around. He also laughs occasionally, usually during our most stressful times, like when he's been up for 24 hours. There's no way it's a coincidence.
Our garbage generation, laundry, and dish use is up 500%. Our appliances keep breaking. If Melissa breaks, we're in serious trouble.
Did you know that Melissa's original plan was to have a boy and then twin girls? If we were to get so lucky, we'd be taking care of two babies and an infant. I researched people in similar situations:
Definitions of horror on the Web:
the feeling of dread and anticipation that occurs before something frightening is seen, heard, or otherwise experienced.
