Robot Mom
Since Saturday afternoon Harper has decided that she likes falling asleep in her swing...at the time Dustin and I high fived each other and perhaps even chest bumped each other because she finally fell asleep. But recently I have found myself putting her in her swing when she fusses (which is very rare as I have created the Angel child). Anyways, in the swing she goes and yesterday I realized that she had been in her swing for over an hour napping. Oh my...the guilt that had befell me!!! I tried calling my mom to see whether I was a bad mother for letting a machine soothe my baby to sleep...but Big Diesel was not at home. So the guilt came over me and I picked her out of her swing and tried to put her down in her crib...not a good idea. The Angel/Devil baby woke and gave me the most pissed off look a baby could muster...so back in the swing she went...and back to sleep she went. So here is the question - she I feel guilty for letting a machine make my baby sleep??? Why would people make these wonderful contraptions if not for this purpose??? I have one, shouldn't I use it??? Will Harper develop some weird internal rocking sensation that will inable her to balance herself when she walks??? I know I am crazy but these are now the types of things that I think about (if not distracted by playing Angry Birds) and keep me up at night. Okay, think I'm finally over feeling guilty because I got a solid 54 mins nap and woke up feeling normal. Below is a picture of me sleeping...look at how good I look due to this swing letting nap.

I was wondering how you were going to pass time during the day when you were alone with Harper and now I see how. I'll keep reading it, and will likely be in Edmonton soon perhaps to be a guest contributor to the blog that will surely take off with voracity.
ReplyDeleteI wanna be a guest bloooooger!
ReplyDeleteRiz and Brandie I will both let you be guest bloggers on here. I will let you know when. It must be funny and must mention how much I have changed both of your lives!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you would even have to mention that stipulation, as if there were other options. Introduction to guest blog 1: One the day of Renee's baby shower, meeting her new baby and seeing my oldest, bestest friend as a new mother, I got emotional, and thought to myself, "This human sat on my chest once and force-fed me dog food."
