From Nov 2008:
We love our baby, our little ray of sunshine, our sweet little girl, Clover. She’s 8 weeks old now. Already, we cannot even imagine life without her. Every day, she does something new that fascinates us. She’s starting to smile and laugh and giggle when we talk to her. She’s noticing her mobiles and wall art and she even stares at the baby in the mirror. She likes to hold her head up and look around at everything, especially the blinds on the windows. She likes to be held. All the time. And she likes to cry. All the time. But she does not like to sleep at night! And since we do not like sleep deprivation, the conflict of interest has created a bit of tension in our happy home. Everybody keeps saying this part will get better someday, so we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of someday, and as soon as it arrives, we will celebrate! Until then, we will continue to eat and sleep in shifts and live like ships passing in the night. We will continue to trade off rocking her at night when she wakes up every hour to do nothing but look around in the darkness. We will continue to look at each other and wonder if our lives will ever again have a sense of order. And then our little angel will look right at us with her big, currently blue, eyes, and we will smile, because we love her so much.
