I'll sleep when I'm dead

Which, at this rate, might be in about two or three weeks.

What they say about not getting much sleep after you have a child is true. At 18 days old, Jake would still rather sleep during the day than the night. I sat him down and tried to have a talk with him, but I think he was more concerned with his bowel movements.

Still, as tired as I am, I have to salute my wife, who must be even more exhausted. When Jake cries, I can wake up and fall back to sleep. Mrs. Rico, on the other hand, dutifully goes to work breastfeeding.

Once we work out these sleeping kinks, I have one more important lesson to teach him: a poop is not a traumatic experience.
