Ok its been a long time.....

Well sorry that I haven't posted for over a year now.  School has been tough, I lost my job (Thanks for lying about cut backs!!!!!!!!)  which I am still out of work (Thanks ECONOMY!!!!!!!!!) and now on top of it all.....surprise A BABY!  My wife and I were not planning on having children but that got blown out of the water. 

We have a lovely little girl Kaori Madison. 

Just finished feeding....all quiet on the Western Front

I wanted a Japanese name in sticking with my heritage (although I look like your average white guy).  The name Kaori means fragrance.  Now as a proud new parent I will say that our baby is cute.  Of course I sound biased which I am to a degree but I am honest in telling you she came out quick.  This avoided sitting in the birth canal and thus avoided the typical newborn got-beat-in-the-face-look-like-a-boxer.  She is wonderful and even though we did not want any children I cannot imagine life without her now. So.......

All of this this leads my to the real meat of the post.  DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE ASSHOLES AT THE HOSPITAL!!!!!!  What I mean by that is please put your baby on a schedule, don't use this new age feed whenever, let them do whatever, keep them held all the time bull.  Cause you can guess what happens...you have a spoiled child like my lovey lumpkins.  She does not sleep through the night still after 2 months.  You only get maybe 3 hours.  She still has her days and nights confused.  She will not go to sleep without constantly being held.  I understand she is a newborn and needs lots of attention and care but there is no structure.  Now that the time has come to introduce a schedule you are making the problem worse (my wife has to go back to work in a month).  If I just went with my gut and stuck to a damn schedule from the beginning I know these problems would have been avoided.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not abdicating putting my child in a dark closet with a bottle and telling her fend for yourself.  What I am saying is that all of the doctors and nurses we met have this same "philosophy" about rearing children that is supposed to be better for babies.  Well let me tell you it stinks, worse that a loaded diaper at 4 in the morning.  My mother raised my brother and I with a schedule from day 1.  She was raised with schedule from day 1.  You know what?  A lot less problems occurred.  I was sleeping for about 6 hours a night withing a short period of time as a baby.

My mother warned about this new feed a will schedule.  I was all naive thinking hey the docs and nurses know whats up.   Boy I feel like that guy that goes to the used car lot, gets down the road and the engine blows.  Too bad, you drove it off the lot sucker....  Now we are trying to get a 2 month old that has quickly and stubbornly accustomed to doing things her own way and on her own pace.  I also found out afterward some of the nurses pushing this new way of think crap don't do it themselves and are on the supposedly outdated schedule method.  WTF?  Really you are gonna tell me this is what I should do but not follow through on it.  AAAAAHHHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

3:46 am, crying her head off.  The photo came out blurry
from her squirming about.  Plus I forgot to turn on the flash.
from being exhausted.
Just remember this is what the "plan" results in....

So the lesson for today is Doctors and Nurses should stick to just the medicine part and shut the hell up about anything else outside of that field.

Btw if you think I'm some kinda chump for calling my child a cutesy name lovely lumpkins then I wish to setup a MMA exhibition match and introduce you to the Elbow twins and their friend Mr. Armbar.
