My husband showed me that. But I like to enjoy every moment. I'm sure as she gets older I'll change, but for now my hubby thinks I'm crazy because I called my lo sweet after an evening of the teething fussies. It's not her fault she is in pain, and she's allowed to complain about it. Doesn't make her any less sweet!

HAHA. great read, thanks for sharing!

@artbee: You're so good! I have a hard time enjoying the tough days. I mean, in hindsight, I can shrug and say, "I got through it! Yay!" But in the moments of screaming fussy baby and I've got spit-up sliding down my bra, I clench my teeth and think, "Enjoy this?????" But yeah, I know what you mean...I wish I could be more like you!
-
@artbee: BTW, how is the teething!? Did a tooth sprout yet?
-
@Rubies: I think right now your days are tougher than mine. When my lo was a newborn and we hadn't figured out she had reflux yet so she would scream for hours and there was no soothing her, I mentioned many times that I wanted to throw her out the window. Of course I would never actually do that . No teeth yet. So far this is only night two of being fussy. Did your lo get any teeth?

i like the author's point that no one tells her husband to make sure he is enjoying every moment of being a software salesman. haha.

Thank you for this. I'm going to share it with other mommies
I went to a retreat in high school called Kairos... Love that this article put parenting and Kairos in the same light!
