Is it a joke or is it true?

Three men married wives from different cultures.

The 1st man married a Chinese woman, he told her to do dishes & house cleaning. It took a few days but on the 3rd day he came home to see a clean house & dishes put away.
The 2nd man married an Italian woman & told her to do all cleaning, dishes and cooking. The 1st day he didn’t see any results but by the 3rd day he saw the house was clean, dishes done & dinner on table.
The 3rd man married an American woman called Jamie and he told her to clean the house, wash the dishes, mow the lawns and have hot meals on the table three times a day. The 1st day he didn’t see anything, the 2nd day he still couldn’t see anything, but by the 3rd day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye!

The big eat

Reagan is now upping the milk ante to 5oz a feed 4 just doesn’t hit that spot it used to at last weigh in she was 8lb 10oz and I reckon when she’s weighed again next week I reckon another 6oz should be expected. Speaking of feeding Jamie made a tortilla wrap with philli chive cheese and a pepper that in her words was “hotter than shit” and for someone who has given birth she moaned a lot about how hot it was ‘drinking pepsi and milk and waving her hand in front of her mouth while sucking in air… so I had a taste of her wrap and I actually lost the sense of taste for 10 minutes FMD bad move! She ate the rest and may the lord have mercy on her r soul tomorrow lol

Tonight I came home and we were …. now how can I put it… needing some mommy time so I collected me thoughts and Reagan and went for a walk!
Jamie is the best mommy any child could ever have and Reagan will be forever grateful for having such a doting mom. Its just that sometimes mommy can benefit from some relaxation without Reagan
I disappeared with Jack and Reagan along the canal and into town we tried to stay awake but the rumble of the pram got the better of us and Reagan slept for the second half of our walk. For me it was the best thing ever walking around town (showing off) and giving Jamie her time we had some great dad time and arrived home 70 minutes later to find mommy asleep on the bed.
I was going out to play pool at 19:15 so I left until 19:10 to wake Jamie up. In the meantime I made meself some tea hung some washing out and generally tidied up the kitchen while Reagan slept in the chair.
Anyway it came time to wake Jamie up and I soon realised it probably wasn’t the idea to leave it until just before I left to say ‘right I’m off you need to wake up!’ I obviously didn’t say it like that but actually thats what I’d done…. I now realise any type of Reagan hand over takes at least 30 minutes and I have learned my lesson on that score SOZ DUDE! lol

19 days and counting!

Reagan is becoming so alert and responsive as each day passes, I love to spend 15 minutes alone with he when I get home just talking to her and making faces watching her looking and learning, ok probably that dads a frickin dooosh but taking it all in!

Its becoming so much more rewarding now she’s not always needing something while awake she will now spend time awake happy for you to entertain her for a while and for me thats great!
Watching Reagan wake up this morning next to her mom made me laugh, they’re like bookends stirring then grunting and groaning followed by stretching and yawning and finally eyes opening….I went off to work knowing that I haven’t got a chance when those two start! (if they haven’t already?)

I know its not just women that are reading this so if I could just say to any blokes reading this, I am sat here with Reagan and Jamie asleep on the sofa next to me and looking at Reagan makes me melt everytime and to see her mom lying next to her protecting her makes me feel that this meant to be and any doubts you have about fatherhood will annoy you so much when you become a dad and have them both there and you’ll be thinking why did we wait a second?
The three of us are so happy….!

Watching Reagan sleep

Reagan earlier today in bouncy chair, watching CBeebies

I have sat here for three or four hours now and actually watched Reagan sleep and it has opened my eyes to what all those noises are that prevent me from properly sleeping?

Reagan has sat in her bouncy chair for nearly four hours now and been asleep the whole time ABSOLUTELY fine but……like everybody else when they sleep toss a bit turn a bit grunt a bit groan a bit and also freak out a little bit but always ASLEEP and always OK!
The problem is no-one ever tells you that parenting is just fine they always tell you you should do this to prevent this and this to stop that and for the love of fuck please never to that, so when you are left at home on your own with th little bundle of ….. stress ALL you can think about is the worst?
So when she does something differently it ‘freaks you, the FUCK out!” AAAAaaaaRRRRgggHHH! call 99……er hang on lets take another look?
….and sure enough you take another look and she’s fine, so hopefully I may get a better nights sleep from now on
So, Jamie is laid on the sofa ‘asleep’ and I’m watching Reagan…everytime Reagan even breathes erratically Jamie wakes and needs to know who what where & why and this has been so interesting because as a dad I am obviously listening but sub consciously! So to watch and hear her while her mom sleeps and witness them both was very educational!

Welcome to my world….

OK it’s late and I want to blog so a sentence about each bit of our day:
I woke up at 8am and offered to take Reagan for an hour or so to let Jamie sleep, offer was accepted!
Reagan and I went down stairs to find mommy had made coffee during the night and it was a pleasure to get us both ready whilst having breakfast
We walked into town with Jack, picked up a paper, some milk and a thank you card to send to Leighton Hospital and came home.
We then along with mommy spent the next 2 hours cleaning the house during which time Kathleen came around from next door to nurse Reagan….I love Kath!
I mowed the lawns and hung out the washing while Jamie looked after Reagan
We went for a walk along the canal into town where we bought the steaks (awwww yesss) for tonight tea!
On the way home Reagan falls out of her pram but luckily lands on a bed of pink apple blossom
We called at the Kings Lock for “the pint Jamie had been waiting for, for 10 months and Jamie says it was well worth the wait”…Reagan was, not the pint lol!
We got home and pottered for a while and then we had visitors who brought gifts had a nurse and left…special mention should go to the gifts though because the card was ace and the picture frame suited the photo perfectly (thank you Helena & Stuart)
All sat and rested watching the cup final nice family time (I say all watched the final? Jamie fed Reagan whilst mommy read a mills and boon and I sat dozing in front of the box supping Carlsberg!)
Cooked tea, two pf THEE finest steaks seasoned with salt and pepper covered in onions and mushrooms surrounded by chips and roasted potatoes and for Jamie at least….finished of with A1 sauce…!
During tea Reagan decided it was her time too and created so bad it almost made mommy and daddy weep (lol) but sense prevailed she calmed down and we sat her in her car seat on the dining table while we ate! She just sat there and “shit” her nappy while we ate! If someone had said to me that my Saturday nights would turn out like this I swear, we would have played scrabble that afternoon back in July 09 instead!!!
Reagan feeds and goes to sleep so mommy and daddy cuddle on the sofa drinking wine watching very funny comedians and eventually I am sat here, with both girls asleep writing this blog
Night all!

Re charge?

Today I certainly felt drained both at home and at work, and although it was hard I just thought I was getting sick and it wasn’t until I sat and rested at around 19:00 that I actually got a second wind? Before that I had only taken Jack and got some groceries but I sat back in the chair and just could not contribute anything and that hurt a little because Jamie had looked after Reagan all day without help but I just had nothing to give. I sat for 30 mins and then had a bit of tea and that did the trick me batteries were recharged and I was then back to me old self and after the pots were washed the washing fetched in and folded and the kitchen cleaned while Jamie fed Reagan got to wind Reagan and watch her fall asleep in me arms. Two hours passed and she was still asleep but I had to nip the bog so I set her down on the sofa where Jamie and her are asleep still as I write this.

Jamie was praised for her efforts on the breast feeding from the midwife but it just re affirmed what she already knew that the plan was working and it had become easier but certainly not “easy”.
They met me out of work at dinner which is nice, I get quite a buzz from that especially knowing they are getting out of the house together, she is so good with Reagan it makes me glad to know they’re having fun….although sometimes just for a second I occasionally wonder if Reagan thinks the same way….

“MOM! this hat, with this outfit? Oh perleaze!”
LOL
