Got a call when I was about 3 minutes from home last night from my wife
asking if she could leave the kid with me for a bit while she ran some
errands. She's been with my daughter 24 x 7 since she's been born with
the exception of the three hours we left her with my mom to catch a
movie. She left at 5:30 -- the moment she stepped out of the door, the
baby fills her diaper causing her to become fussy -- I am more than
capable, at this point, of taking care of that, so I managed to change
her diaper and her clothes because of a little leakage. I finally
finished the change and the baby started crying -- I went to the fridge
because the wife said she left some breast milk in there for me. It was
frozen solid -- so as the baby was screaming I attempted to thaw out the
milk by running hot water over it -- doesn't work -- I walked around,
rocked her, whatever I could think of and the baby wouldn't stop
screaming -- it wasn't just the "let daddy know that something's wrong
cry" -- there were actual tears coming out and she was screaming for so
long and hard that she started getting hoarse - in the mean time, it got
to be 6 o'clock in which at that time each night, my dogs go ballistic
because they know its time for dinner -- after attempting to thaw two
different milk things from the freezer, it became obvious that she
wouldn't even take a bottle from me. I had to call my wife and say "GET
HOME NOW" -- I then hung up and tried to settle her and the dogs down --
of course nothing worked until my wife walked in the door - She held her
and within a minute or so, she was resting quietly -- Not a fun
experience. On a brighter note -- the Eye-fi SD card came for her
camera yesterday -- works amazing -- she can now take a picture and it
automatically uploads to a folder on her computer with that days date
without any chords or anything -- very cool. Was not able to run last
night -- so I will be starting week 3 of the couch potato to 5K program
tonight -- this will be timed out perfectly to have me ready for the 5K
in Chisago City on Jan 31st.
