Time's fun when your having flies

Wow, three weeks since my last post! I may have had that happen before but seldom has it gone by so quickly. Time has been compressing and decompressing at will lately, fueled by Cordelia whose circadian cycles have yet to match up with the concepts of day and night. I slept for 2 1/2 hours yesterday afternoon and still was able to sleep at bed time. I cant imagine how Candace must feel given how I feel. A lot of my tiredness is fueled by anxiety I think, worrying about this special gift God has given us. It kind of sucks because at times I feel like I am robbing myself of some of the enjoyment of being a Dad. I do love it though, she always makes us smile and sometimes laugh if she fires the rockets (if you know what I mean).

So far she has puked in my mouth once (not a lot, but enough... any amount is enough), she has farted in my face several times but I have been spared compared to Candace. I dont profess to change her nearly as much as Candace does but for some reason I have never had the trials C seems to get into. It has become regular that Cordy will, once freed from her diaper prison, celebrate said freedom with an artistic demonstration involves all natural products... namely pee and poop. She has showered Candace and pooped on herself more times than I can count and it has officially made me gunshy. When I say I dont do it as much, this is not making me want to increase the frequency. Still, when I do change her it is in typical guy fashion, treating her like we are in the pits at Nascar. Some of this comes from the aforementioned difficulties, some of it comes from the male need to time ourselves at menial tasks (I did the dishes in 5min 43seconds! Wife: why is there water dripping out of the cupboards?)So I remove the diaper, wipe 'er clean, and then put on the new diaper (which I have prepared in advance, opening the tabs and getting it ready). It is possible my speed has something to do with it, regardless I am glad I have been spared.

It is not my intention to blog about the kid all the time, just where I am at right now. I am not thinking about much else. But there are a few things on the horizon, one thing that I hope will be fairly big and I will fill you in more on it when I get a little further into it.
