Where did I put the Baby???????

When I was pregnant my Mum gave me a book called: Where did I put the Baby (in Danish: Hvor lagde jeg babyen?) by Julia Lahme. At first I thought it was an inconsiderate hint from the Mormor-to-be but I soon realized that it is just a hilariously funny book about motherhood. Now I realize that what I thought was funny stories (embellished by the author) is the harsh reality of Motherhood!!!! So here is my own 'Where did I put the Baby story.

The first 3 weeks of Aertens life we had his Nana staying with us. (She was amazing and I wouldn't have survived without her support. Would recommend having family around to anyone who thinks having a baby is all about bonding between baby, you and hubby - think again - it's all about SURVIVAL). Most mornings Daddy would bring Aerten downstairs while having brekky and then hand him over to Nana when he had to leave for work. Nana would then bring Aerten back up the stairs when he couldn't possibly survive any longer without a feed (or at least that is what Aerten thinks every time he is hungry). Then one morning I woke up convinced that Daddy had brought Aerten up for a feed but Aerten was no where to be seen!!!! Where did I put the baby?? I was convinced that I could hear him in the room so ripped everything of our bed, of his bed and even looked under the beds!! As he was no where to be seen in the bedroom I stormed downstairs only to find Aerten peacefully asleep in Nana's arms!!!!

SLEEP DEPRIVATION IS DANGEROUS! (It should be illegal for us new Mum's to drive cars)
