Two weeks down and I’m still here (for the most part). I figured now would be a good time to recap the highs and lows of fatherhood thus far.

The Lows

1. Sleep, eh guys? Cool. Well, see ya later!
   Why can I sleep through everything but my baby crying?
2. Poop
   Sometimes it seems that each and every time I get a clean diaper under Faye, she poops. Not cool Faye, not cool. Diaper aren’t free ya know.
3. The guessing game
   Faye is crying. Is she gassy/did she poop/does she have to poop/is she hungry/does she need some love/would a soother work/should I just rock and shush her back to sleep/should I swaddle her?

The Highs

1. Gassy smiles
   I know they aren’t real smiles, but they’re close enough.
2. Her smell
   I don’t think anything has ever smelled better than my daughter (Note: Her poop doesn’t smell yet).
3. The face she makes after feeding
   It’s kind of hard to describe, I’ll have to take a picture. Rest assured that it’s really cute.
4. She doesn’t cry too much
   I’ve heard horror stories of babies who cry all day and night. Faye only cries when she wants something, otherwise she is completely content to sleep or just sit there.
