late at night..

So when you're up late at night saying feeding the sweetest thing ever, isn't it funny what rolls through your mind?

Like-why do they call it burping a baby? I mean, think about it. We aren't BURPING for them. We are patting their backs to make them burp. And does it work really? I don't know. Is it a coincidence that they burp when we put them on our shoulder? Really, I think it is. Too many times Jacob has burped on his own even before I got him up on my shoulder. Burping a baby huh?

Are we burping them or are they burping (on) us? :)

Funny terms. Imagine the Pediatrician saying something different like, "Are you slapping his back to force the burp out?" How awful does that sound?

It's late and your mind wanders at this hour, who knows if ya even make sense. Me thinks I'm so not makin sense. My Jacob would not burp so I'm making myself stay up to make sure he doesn't wake up wailing so when I lay down, I"m out for at least one-two hours. But then he has his daily morning poop which makes the poor little bubba cry like nothing else. Poor thing. I dread it each day. Ivan seems to be the pro at handling that little situation. And I gladly hand Jacob to him during that time because it really does bother me that he cries with such intensity. Can't handle it.

Good mamma ----- eh?

peace out.

And why is that you magically have to stop doing that eventually? Can you imagine you're at dinner with friends and you turn to your friend and say "I'm all done would you mind burping me now?" LOL
