This morning, 4 a.m.

There once was a baby named Grumpus
Whose bellows of rage used to stump us
Is the child possessed?
Existentially distressed?
No, he just has to take a big dumpus.

I don't know how I found your site (too much clicking and clacking to track) but what a laugh. That was priceless. Thank you.

Go buy a swing. A good one, preferably with an AC adapter as it will save you lots of money and time on changing batteries. I spent 6 hellish weeks sleeping with my son in the crook of my arm on the reclining sofa. He had bad gas and would not lay flat. He started sleeping through the night (6-7 hrs) within a week of sleeping in the swing. The fisher price swing we got is actually like a recliner (check out the Fisher Price Papasan Cradle) in that it is angled so baby is not laying flat. It’s not cheap, but can you really put a price on not tossing your child out the window… I mean, getting a good night’s sleep.

tossing your baby out the window ha ha haha oh I'll give a million dollars to she who has never let that thought flit through her mind even once...(not that I have no faith that every single mom thinks it~ disclaimer: I do not have said million dollars for the liar who says they never thought it)

ok now that we've taken care of that I have completely forgotten what I was gonna say...I'm a train wreck...lack of sleep, forgetting to open the window I tried to throw said gassy non sleeper out of...could be anything.

how you're as funny as you are with little to no sleep is mind boggling dear...
