Here are the top 10 things I've learned in my 2nd week of fatherhood (by Paul)

10. I already have the ability to sleep through Emma crying even though she sleeps literally 6 inches from my ear. My wife is not a fan of this development.


9. Parenting is an art not a science. No two people parent the same way, but yet neither are wrong.

8. The 2nd happiest moment so far after her birth is when her cord finally fell off. That thing was disgusting.

7. Having a kid seems like you are joining a club. (I stole this from my buddy Jon) You all of a sudden have a bunch in common with people you never talked to before.

6. Emma sometimes gets so frustrated that she can’t cry, but instead makes the sound of the Predator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQwA14YWdqA

5. When Jenn pumps I cheer for her milk production like it’s a football game. As of now 2 oz is a touchdown!

4. Apparently Emma smells like a Milkbone, because dogs love to smell and lick her.

3. We spent 4 days taking care of Emma in the hospital with nothing but a bassinet on wheels, three t-shirts, and four blankets. Now we have a crib, pack n play, swing, bouncy seat, co-sleeper, changing table, and a dresser full of clothes and blankets. This should make life easier, but I’m not sure it really does.

2. I have spent two weeks examining her poop for frequency, amount, color, and texture. You can chalk that up as something I never thought I would do.

1. My daughter is the cutest, smartest, and most advanced of any baby ever. This is apparently a shared belief of every new parent.
