I've been duped....

The excitement of months of anticipation, worrying and planning at some point comes to an end and the moment of truth is upon you. That water breaks and game is on. You rush to the hospital and eventually the deed is done and you have your "bundle of joy," or so you think. We made it through the high intensity of labor and the rush of cutting the cord and we (men) are wiping our brows because we have bobbed and weaved the death threats and that look that could bear a hole into your soul, because WE are the source of labor pains. Now, the euphoria of being In a room with wife and kid to relax after such a battle, is bliss. Nurses are coming in to check on you, wife is sleeping, food is brought in. Outside of your wife being whipped and having not taken a shower in two days, this is great. Baby sleeps for 23  1/2 of 24 hours, Perfect!!!! It's gonna be a breeze when we get home. This kid is a "natural born sleeper." Be warned, you are being duped. When you get home, baby transforms. He is no longer the "natural born sleeper." It's like the perfect girlfriend that flips the script the moment you say, "I do." That first 23 1/2 hours of sleep, you better relish every millisecond of it and store up because that "natural born sleeper" will become your sleep wrecker. Consider it, his or her warming up to challenge your every nerve of patience, you better sleep so you can come into the game fresh because that 7 lbs 8ounces will be ready to run you over.
