It's Week 17! After another monthly check-up with Dr. Chen (no, not Peter or Nick), Mommy is perfectly healthy. Fat is accumulating and fingerprints are forming, as Baby Campos is now the size of...an onion? Interesting choice. Most people describe their babies as the cutest things in the world, but never something quite so smelly. You're practically reduced to tears when you have to chop one up. But do you want to know the secret to not crying when slicing onions? Just breathe with your mouth open (seriously, it works).
So what's the secret to stopping your little one from crying? You could immediately pick up and coddle the crybaby. Maybe even practice Ferberization and wait a bit before coming to the rescue. Daddy seems to think you can just crank up the volume on the TV and hope that the baby tires out before halftime is over. Any suggestions? Well, there's definitely going to be plenty of sleepless nights ahead to figure out what works best with this stinky onion.
1) Chopping an onion while wearing contact lenses means never having to shed another tear.
ReplyDelete2) Babies cry. It's not always your job to stop it. But it is your job to be there. You'll figure out the rest.
3) When the baby is the size of a watermelon, will you be holding one to show the relative size? Not sure you'll be able to fit one over the belly.
"Happiest Baby on the Block" by Dr. Karp is a must-have!! We recommend to all our 1st time parents :) Sleep is a must...for everyone in the house. Good luck guys!!
