That's all I can recall for now. I'm pretty livid over the pig thing.. so I apologise if my post seems irrational.

Not to worry, it's a word. To you it has conotations and implications but it doesn't matter to the kid if it's conveyed with affection.

Sure it does. When she gets older, she will take it to mean she's ugly, and it will crush her self-esteem.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

dude,
caffeine is NOT a substitute for sleep
you're being just a little twitchy

i called my nephew " eggy" for the first 6 mos, and it just wore off. knew the dad wasnt thrilled by the nickname, so when he stopped looking like and "eggy" i stopped calling him that.

as far as people coming over, they will stop coming as much...and that's when having a baby all to herself can get scary for your wife. ( im assuming it's her 1st too).

keep that in mind.

i call mine knucklehead and lunchbox....but not lunchbox to her face...often *shrugs*

Beautiful child, Juju. Congrats again.

The changes that being a father will bring to your life are *gradual*, not instantly transformative. After some time has passed, you will look back at the person you were and it will all become very clear to you.

You may argue that you would have changed anyway, given the passage of time, and you would...but not in the same way.

And it doesn't end because they grow up. I spent the day in hospital with my 22 year old who had some minor, yet inpatient, surgery today, and was immensely grateful that I was able to devote the whole day to his needs. Unemployment has some unusual benefits.

Silly the secret of the universe is 42, not having a child.

Congrats!

juju · 11-21-2003, 12:08 PM

Hey, Dar. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I've just been busy and a bit people'd out! I'll IM you my address. :)

juju · 11-21-2003, 12:14 PM

UPDATE:

I am now sick of people. Outside of the internet, every woman I see completely freaks out and does this:

"AAAwwwwwhhh mah gawwwddd leewk at tha BAY-BAYY!!! Isn't hay ceewwwtt?? Cum lewkk!! Ya gatta see tha BAY-BAY! The BAY-BAY! AHhhhhhww!"

Oh my God.

And every single man I meet is like:

"So! How's that baby doin'?"

This question is also irritating, because I don't know how to respond, other than, "Well, mostly, she just lays there."

Of courses, both are very reasonable things to do and say, I suppose. I'm just not used to it is all. :)

juju · 11-21-2003, 12:37 PM

Oh, and on a related note!

Oh, it gets worse, man. Wait till they see you do something minimally competent in the way of child care in public. They'll freakin' swoon just because you know how to change diaper or carry the kid without dropping her or even just fishing money out of your pocket with one hand while you're holding her in the other.

Or at least that was my experience 8 years ago.

Oh, yeah, some people freak out when they find out daddy is home with the baby...ALONE!

*sigh*
