"Make him stop!"
The Alien Child has landed. All of your diapers belong to her. You will no longer sleep, you will be too busy tending to her wants and needs. If you do not do this, you will force her to use her secret weapon… an ear shattering wail that will bring to your knees quicker than Captain Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise.
Sarah has been having a rough few days. She has been full of gas and extremely unhappy about. (Her Daddy revels in his own gas filled state, but I guess it’s different for babies.) After not sleeping for 3 days, she was finally so worn out that she slept and slept and slept. She passed out after 2 hours of crying around 2:00 in the morning and then woke up for a feeding and slept from about 8:00am to almost 1:00pm. The poor little thing looked so exhausted that it made my heart break.
After some long needed rest for Mommy, Daddy and Baby all feel better. Sarah is taking some medicine to help her discomfort and it seems to be working. Daddy has added a few more gray hairs.
You can see some more pictures of the Alien Child and the unhappy baby over on the September 2004 gallery.
