Taking Care of Baby

Taking care of baby is life's truest joy, alright Especially if your idea of fun is staying up all night One thing that you can count on is running out of shirts 'Cos baby loves to 'spit up' each bottle you insert As for changing diapers the part I like the best is when you think you're finished baby smiles and makes the rest Then there's blessed naptime when baby closes her eyes That is, until you leave the room and she lets out that piercing cry Yes, taking care of baby what marriage is all about I only pray that I survive ~ in case my wife conks out

I can feel you. These days we are taking care of our little cousin. So you can imagine. But when he is gone, we miss him alot. You won't feel depressed in their company, though you wou6be tired all the time :)

Exactly! They wear you out, but then you miss them if they're not there! Go figure...

You pictured things right, Caren. My first couple of kids, I did a lot of it myself... No, No: Don't ask! :) gw
