A day in the life.

Okay. Now this may seem a little crazy, but it was a tool that worked and I also decided that it would be interesting for this here blog. Sunday, Betsy and I documented pretty much everything this kid did from about 10:30am until around 9:30pm. I'm not talking a couple of little entries here. I'm talkin' a crazy OCD, minute by minute account. I'll relay this as close to exactly as we wrote it. We are really not insane (yet). We just wanted to be sure of what was working and what wasn't, then it took on a life of it's own and became this nutty thing.

Here it is:
10:30 feeding
10:50 put in bassinet
10:54 hiccups
10:59 loud poop (wet sounding)
