Daughter has her child development baby this weekend. So far, so good.
Nothing like poor Jannas experience, so far!
Though, her baby does have an emergency shut down button if things get too out of hand.
Daughter has been very attentive. Theres been the usual fussiness. However, Daughter now recognizes the various cries and knows what it needs (diaper change, feeding, burping, and tired). Overall, Im pretty impressed with how she is handling it. Though, she did get frustrated (whens this STUPID baby going to go to sleep)this afternoon when she had to rock, walk, and gently bounce it for 40 minutes before it went to sleep.
She took it with her when we went to Walmart. We had lots of other drivers giving us dirty looks because she was holding the baby on her lap, or over her shoulder while in the car. It looks real from a distance. She also had people make oh, how sweet comments while in the store.
Baby wakes up at 5:20am after falling asleep at 11pm. Daughter drags herself out of bed to attend it. Finally, gets it back to sleep after feeding and changing it. She craws back to bed, falls asleep for one hour. Then crying again. Daughter decides sleep isnt going to happen and decides to get up for the day.
The best part, however, was she made herself lunch and just as shes about to sit down, the baby cries. So much for a nice quiet lunch. :rofl: Daughter gets a lesson in trying to eat with one hand while trying to balance baby in the other one.
She has until 10pm tomorrow night.
