That helpless feeling...

Guys, it's inebidable that with a newborn there will be a night where you don't sleep. Scratch that, nobody sleeps because your baby cannot stop crying. Whether you sing, carry, rock or lay him/her down, nothing works but mom's teet.

It is such a helpless feeling.

Not because the baby won't stop crying, but more because you know as a man, you do not genetically contain the ability to give your child the only thing he wants. And to top it off, you cannot yet use words to figure out what exactly is causing the baby to cry hysterically.

Last night was that night for us. We took for granted that the night before he slept like a baby. Lizzy and I were rested, alert and ready to take on the world. BIG mistake. Wyatt was just preparing his surprise attack as he dropped the insomnia bomb on us.

I tried every trick i had in my arsenal to counter the crying baby but nothing worked. The only thing I was able to do to get him to stop crying was pass him onto Lizzy and have him latch on. It was so frustrating for me because as I looked into Lizzy's eyes, all I could see was defeat and a woman who was sleep deprived to the point of no return.

That hurt.

Current Parents, you know what I'm talking about. Expecting parents, get ready! It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

I will say this...It is all worth it when you see your child stare back at you like this guy did in this picture.
