Three month update

So it really is amazing to think that JW is already 3 months old.  This has been the longest, and yet shortest, 3 months in existence.  Lets start with all the bad things that I have experienced so far( lets get the short list out of the way)

Tough/crappy parts of the first three months of parenthood-

-Never being able to wake up on your own/lack of sleep

-Limited ability to go out with people (although we bring JW out often (to restaurants, bars, walking etc.) and    he seems to do fine with it.  Just keep  it to a reasonable level.)

-Crying can certainly be grating.  It also gets louder and higher pitch as time goes on

-Annoying people giving me advice:  Out of all the tough things this is the one that drives me the most insane.  If i want help I will ask for it and I don't care to have your opinion before then.

Now the good parts:

-You are a parent, its fun, enjoy it!

-As kooky as it sounds its one of the most interesting glimpses into human beings ever (its like a little experiement lol)

-The first smile makes the first 2.5 months not seem nearly as tough

-JW has made it through the night (5-7 hours) a handful of times and otherwise wakes up once.  

-MW and I are so much more confident in our parenting skills
