, Renegade! My "babies" are now 8 and just about 10 and I can tell you that it does not get any better than this! Having children is a huge life changer - REALLY. But it's all worth it.
It never happened if there's no picture!
One piece of good news is that it doesn't take all that long to figure out which end to wipe first.At that age it is both ends, as well as front and back. At least it was with both of my girls...Just beware the spaghetti in about a year. Your jokes about the spaghetti monster WILL take on new meanings.
You'll wake up tomorrow with a 10 year old daughter and wonder what happened to the previous decade.
Today's baby are more smarter than we were.Maybe they even know English better.

Tastes like sleep deprivation...
I didn't mean to hijack Renegade's thread, so I'll post over on the "Let's Meet" thread....
Gorgeous! She's a keeper. Thank you for the pictures - I understand about the reluctance to post them; my wife and I both had a similar reaction after having our kids.
Crying sounds familiar- don't worry, though, the sleepless nights only SEEM to go on forever.

Yeah, it's bizarre. I've sent a lot of photos to family, but, just can't post them publicly.
A friend told me that my perspective on a lot of things would change once she was born. He's right. Some perspectives are changing.
As for the crying, it only lasts a short time. I can get her to stop pretty easily. So far... Haven't done this before, so we'll see!

Can you already change diapers blind folded?

Exposure to "responsibility" in the purest and most absolute sense of the word does that to you.
Falling in love can do that too. But, once a child enters the picture, you can't honestly say your life is completely your own any more.
Isn't it odd how paradoxically liberating that loss of personal freedom becomes?
Not a bad trade-off giving up some personal freedom in order to acquire an additional purpose in life: a family.
Family...
Almost magical isn't it?
That probably DOESN'T sound positive or thinking about my son's future, but it was. I should never have started the thing in the first place; having a child brought that into stark focus for me. I wanted security, stability, and time with my son, not running like a rat on a wheel trying to get ahead in academia, moving every few years in search of tenure, frequent travel to conferences/fieldwork, late nights working on papers, research, and grant proposals, etc.
Well, I've developed a bizarre urge to not post any pictures... Odd. I've posted lots before, but now, seems different... Anyways...
I've posted 3 pictures in my public Flickr photostream here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryansmyth/
I don't want to post them anywhere else, as I'd like to maintain control over the pictures.
She's learned how to cry, and is doing very well. Actually, surprisingly well.
