So if you are reading this and you haven’t heard yet then your probably a creeper reading my blog and I don’t know you but either way here are a couple funny stories for you so far of my experience with Two Kids. 

December 3rd – 2007The day was amazing our second child was born and although both Sarah and I were sure that this was going to be another boy we were wrong, it was a girl and we were so happy. We were wanting a girl so bad to have the family you know an Boy first with a little sister. So Elin (Ee-lin) Norah Rasmussen Steele was born at 12:03 pm and we were elated. After a night with very little sleep I was already very tired and not ready for another night of the same with Elin here. Much to my satisfaction she is a great sleeper and eater and she slept very well through the night. I on the other hand didn’t do so well, I couldn’t find a good place to sleep. I wasn’t able to sleep in our room because the one chair that was there was awfully uncomfortable. So I went for a walk and looked for a spot to actually sleep. I found a waiting room with a big thick black leather recliner. It wasn’t in the mother baby unit waiting room it was somewhere on that floor and it was amazing. Before I left I told Sarah I would just sleep for two hours then come back. As I sit down on the chair I set my alarm for two hours from then sat down and went to sleep. Everything seemed fine until I heard Sarah’s voice saying Rob can I get your help. You may say what is the problem with your wife asking you for help, well the problem was that I was back in the room. Sarah had to go to the bathroom while I was gone and a nurse came in and took Elin to the nursery to have a couple tests done. When Sarah came out of the bathroom I was sitting back in the chair I had left and the nurse was also there with Elin in her hands. So I don’t know if I talked to the Nurse or if I came in and went back to sleep or what happened but the truth is that my alarm didn’t ever go on my phone and when I woke up I was back in the room. I was just waiting for someone to come and tell me I had to leave the Hospital because I went into some room that is not open for anyone to go into. Sleepwalking through The General Hospital what a dork I am. December 4th – 2007So after this I had a good day with a few little cat naps through the day with Elin and I’m all good. We get all the way through the day without any big event happening again. We came home at about 4:30 in the afternoon from the hospital and things are going really really good. She’s happy which means that everyone else is happy. That night Elin is doing amazing, I mean she’s sleeping really well all day and she fed again at probably 11:30pm. Sarah and Elin lay down to get to sleep. I go back downstairs to see if I can catch up and anything that has happened in the world of Sports for the past two days. I actually don’t even remember having my head hit the pillow I was so tired but in the end Sarah came downstairs to get me to come up and change Elin while she was in the bathroom and then she would feed her once she got back. Well I was really not awake. I went out to the livingroom put Elin down on the couch getting ready to change her. I realized at this moment that I had to go to the bathroom so i proceeded to go to the bathroom. Sarah opens the door and asks where is Elin. Oh she’s out on the couch, and to ease her fear I say at that moment don’t worry she’s out there with Craig. Sarah look at me and says Rob what are you talking about. I again looked at her and said “Elin is out on the couch but don’t worry cause Craig is out there” she then says again “Rob stop and think for a second you’re telling me that Craig Moleski is sitting on out couch right now with Elin.” Then out of frustration for her not believing me I look at her and in a snotty voice I say “SARAH Elin in on the couch with Craig right NOW!” Sarah walks away I proceed to go to the bathroom and when I come out I have already forgotten about the whole altercation because, well I was asleep the whole time and didn’t know that I had that conversation with sarah at all until the next day when we talked Sarah let me know how hard it is to wake me up. Needless to say I don’t wake up very easily when I am already asleep and that having less sleep every night that I am use to doesn’t help this situation at all. These things are only two of many stories to come in the Diary of a Tired Dad…Later…
