Mom's the Word
He's got your nose (prominent). Her eyes (green). Your mother's stubborn streak (no comment) and her father's chin (minus the beard). He's the sweetest personalized gift in the world.
He's going to be the first man on Mars or Jupiter or whatever the latest planet to be discovered is. After he's done being a fireman, football player, and movie star (just look at that face!), of course.
"Isn't that right, baby?" you say to your wife, dripping a glob of ice cream from your spoon onto the floor she just wiped up after your beautiful new astronaut spit up on it about five minutes ago. But she just glares at you with those green eyes and mumbles something you're glad you can't hear.
Your friends with kids told you it was going to be hard, but you poo-poo'd them. Now the poo is on the other foot (and everywhere else!), and you silently agree with everything they told you. In fact, it's even harder than they said. A new baby isn't just kid's stuff! Even with Velcro, diaper-changing is a challenge. And the burping? The kid puts your football buddies to shame! And the little guy's a major night owl. Who knew?
The mama. That's who. Sure, you're getting up for some of the feedings and cryings and you're helping out around the house in ways you never knew you could, but when it comes right down to it, you're the biggest baby in the house! But if you think you need a break from all of this new craziness, just think about your wife. She carried the load for months before you, so take the load off of her and surprise her with the second best personalized gift in the world.
