This is about to be our future!

In our small group from church, two couples recently had their first child (one is now about 5 months and one is about 5 weeks), and another couple is also pregnant and due just one week before us.  One of the girls emailed this poem that she found.  Cody and I found it pretty entertaining right now.  I'm curious if once we are actually in this phase of life and sleep deprived and frustrated that our little guy won't just go back to sleep... maybe it won't be so funny then. But for now it definitely made us smile and laugh.  Thought it was worth sharing : )



MY BABY BETWEEN THE TIMES OF 3 AND 4 AM: A POEM.


I am hot.
I am cold.
This is a blanket? This is not a blanket. Do not insult me.
Are you sleeping?
You are really sleeping.
I have pooped.
Change me.
Ha. I had not pooped.
I had not even peed.
Amuse me by trying to sleep again.
WHO SWITCHED OFF THE LIGHT?
I am feeling very sleepy.
My eyes... they are droopy.
I am almost asleep.
I am asleep.
No I am not.
Fool.
Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. Hiccup. Google "newborn severe hiccups" if you truly love me. Hiccup.
I am hot.
Feed me.
Feed me now.
This is not a human nipple.
What is this? I hate this.
Give me boob now.
Very good.
Look at me.
Do not look at the iPad when you're feeding me, stupid woman.
Look. At. Me.
I am full.
No I am not.
I am full.
No I am not.
I am full.
Really.
I am quite full.
Stop this. What nonsense.
Do you like this sweatshirt you are wearing?
Is this your favourite sweatshirt?
Oh this is the first one you bought after losing weight?
Really?
Vomit.
I enjoyed that. Go change.
Pull my finger.
POOP!
Look, we can all act as if this nappy change can wait till the next feeding.
Or you can be a responsible parent and change me now.
Guilt. You adults are so predictable.
Personal best there I think.
From a sheer quantity perspective.
Edge to nappy edge.
Is this cotton wool from Tesco? What kind of family is this?
I am hot.
Sing me a song.
Ugh. Hindi song please.
Hand me over to mummy.
MUMMY MUMMY MUMMY YAY YAY YAY.
Not that song.
Not that song.
Not that song.
Not that song.
That song.
I am cold.
I SLEPT OFF FOR TWO MINUTES AND YOU PLACED ME IN A COT? I HATE YOU I HATE YOU POOP VOMIT PEE POOP
Mmmmmmm... adult bed... love adult bed...
Smile. Smile. Smile. CRY CRY CRY CRY CRY.
Have you tried white noise?
According to Mumsnet white noise remind babies of the womb.
This is white noise?
Ha ha. Garbage.
Remove that obscene sound.
Mumsnet it seems. Charlatans.
Who will burp me? Your father? Burp me.
What time is it?
3:53 AM.
Think I am ready to sleep now.
Is one of my eyes smaller than the other. No? Google urgently.
CODE BROWN! CODE BROWN! CODE BROWN!
Change me.
Where is the fresh nappy?
Go on. I will give you a minute.
Muahahahahahahaha. No I won't.
Urine trouble now. LOL. Please RT.
Place me in the cot while you clean the bed.
Play some white noise.
Dim the lights?
Naaaaice.
I will sleep now.
Love me.
I am cold.



Anyone else find that humorous or just me?  -Here was the original link from where my friend found the poem:

On a totally different note, I am nervous about spring break now being over and going back to work tomorrow.  I have NOT felt well consistently over this break and have reached some magical point in the third trimester where not feeling well has become more of the norm than the exception.  I have gotten seriously light headed and dizzy to the point of needing to immediately lay down or else thinking I would pass out 4 times during the last week.  Overall I have just been SO exhausted even though I have done almost nothing.  I slept in every day, woke up, ate breakfast, would usually lay down or sit in our recliners and watch a T.V. show, then be so tired and not feeling well that I needed to go back to sleep.  Anyway, to make my point without starting to ramble more, I am getting concerned that I will not be feeling well at school and not sure how I will handle that since I can't exactly just go lay down for a while.  We will see how it goes.  I'm especially nervous for tomorrow because 1) it's the first day back 2) it will be SUPER busy with our school baby shower after work followed by a baby care class at the hospital for the whole evening and 3) tomorrow is our field trip!  Field trips are so fun but more tiring than a regular school day.  Anyway.  Those are my current thoughts as I am preparing for spring break to officially be over.  

Only 3 more weeks until we are full term!!! We are getting crazy close to meeting our little man : )
