Babies cause you to lose a lot of sleep.
TRUE. Well, I should say that babies cause the MOM to lose a lot of sleep and the dad a little sleep.
Changing diapers is the grossest part of dealing with a baby.
FALSE. Diapers are dirty...but they are confined and usually un-smelly. The folds under a baby's neck, however, are WAY grosser in constancy and aroma. It's like the cup-holder of infancy. They're sticky, smelly, and generally something you should clean more than you do.
Babies are noisy.
TRUE. I don't know how babies generate that much volume for their size but it's definitely in the vacuum cleaner decibel range. However, it's the pre-cursor noises that drive me more crazy than anything else. Kind of like the screeching tires before a really bad car wreck.
Baby age-counting in weeks or months is kind of annoying.
TRUE. I'm vowing to try to keep it to months the first year and then thereafter Foster will be either 1 or 2. Saying 16 months is too much math.
Dressing a baby is a great time for bonding with your child.
FALSE. Dressing a child is a great time for seeing how long you can make your baby scream and cry while you try to get his f-ing leg in the little froggy footies. It's also a great time for trying to stretch the seems out of the neck of a onesie before getting it lodged halfway over his head and causing him to suffocate. It's also a great time for trying to figure out where the hell that mystery snap goes when it seems like everything is already snapped up. Oh yes...dressing a baby is a complete joy.
Having a baby is worth it.
True.
