I have learned a great deal about our child in the past two weeks, especially that she likes to change things up quite often. Just when I think I have her pegged she throws me a curve ball.

It seems that just when we think we have found “her rhythm” she changes. We are not schedule people by any means, but a little regularity would be nice. The only thing we can probably say is that she sleeps more in the day than during the night. I have also tried so many different techniques of soothing Ada over the last two weeks that I feel like I am in a circus performer. I have gotten countless pieces of advice from other parents, but what I have learned is that what works now, doesn’t necessarily work later. Trying to pull out a cause and effect relationship with a newborn is proving to be very difficult!

All things said…we know it could be a whole lot worse! She does actually sleep, she isn’t a fussy baby, and when she is a sleep…she is out! So don’t take this rant as a strike against my beautiful daughter…more just a thought from a topsy turvy father.

Although this looks painful...it was really cute!

This was just a quick video that I did a few nights back.

This is a quick video I did from the morning after the second night. This is the night when the proverbial “other shoe dropped“. It was a rough night.  Not as bad as the first night home, but I am sure it will get better.

As much as I know that there is very little truth to old wives tales about inducing labor, desperate times call for desperate measures! (Well, I guess we haven’t really crossed into desperate times yet)  This week, we have put several of the common labor-inducing myths to the test:

• Bumpy car rides: Hard on the car, harder on the bladder!
• Eating pineapple: Delicious and healthy, but no action.
• Bouncing on the birthing ball:  Entertaining for Daniel!  No luck yet
• Massaging feet and ankles: Relaxing for Anna!  Baby was not impressed.
• Eating eggplant:  Delicious tasting.  Added calories, not contractions.
• Walking around the mall:  More impact on the wallet than the baby.

So, as you can see, we have done everything as parents that we can think of to entice our daughter to enter the world.  We have come to realize that maybe someone else is in control.  And if we ever run into any of those Old Wives, we will be giving them a piece of our mind!!
