We were discussing why some people get so militant about nursing and why you MUST do it or end up with a baby future Hitler-Drug-Dealing-Tax-Evader. �Why do so many people get so worked up about it?� I asked. �I was bottle fed and I�m fine.�
�I know! I didn�t realize people got so agitated about it. Everyone has there pet peeve,� said Jared. �Our friend Chuck despises all forms of white bread. My brother is against chocolate.�
�Oooh, I know a lady who is violently opposed to disposable diapers,� I said.
�I wonder what my pet peeve is? I should get one.� mused Jared.
�It�s Dave Matthews.�
Jared�s eyes lit up. �Oh yeah � I hate him so much!�
By the way, I�m a fan of the DMB, it�s just insanely hilarious to me that when he remembers that he hates him, it�s with a passion. I think it makes him happy to know he has an arch-nemesis out there. One time when he was teaching a class at church, he made the connection of Mr. Matthews to the definition of an anti-Christ. I don�t need TV, people. You just can�t compare a sitcom to my husband�s special brand of crazy.
Holy crap, today�s amazing discovery comes to you from alert readers Sabrina and Candis, who almost at the same time, sent me a link to a recent Oprah show. I can�t thank you guys enough! I actually miss Oprah � her interviewing style leaves something to be desired, but the woman gets awesome guests and imparts some pretty amazing discoveries.
The guest in question was a woman who has discovered the secret language of babies. She decoded the cries and narrowed the sounds down to 5 basic messages:
� Neh="I'm hungry"
� Owh="I'm sleepy"
� Heh="I'm experiencing discomfort"
� Eair="I have lower gas"
� Eh="I need to burp"
You need to watch the little video that accompanies the article, it�s incredible! I was sitting here with a fussy Solei on my lap, trying to figure out what was making her angry and trying to read the article, and after I watched the video, I stopped trying to calm her and waited to see what sound she�d let rip.
Wait for it�� here it comes�� �nnneeeeeHHHHH!!!�
I fed the little lady, and now she�s contentedly snoozing on her Boppy. How freaking cool is that?? I also figured out that that noise she makes at night is her saying she�s tired. I thought she was just made because I smell bad later on in the day! The lady says these are common sounds a newborn makes, but around 3 months, if the need isn�t responded to in the right way, they start making different noises and such. So there�s still time for me to have a tiny clue about what she wants.
Does it seem weird to anyone else that this is the kind of thing that geeks me out now? I�m supposed to make a list of what I want for Christmas, and I can�t be selfish and ask for girly things because I have no idear what is out there in the real world. My list involves the DVD for this and some Baby Einstein DVDs. Oh, and socks that fit my sweetie�s rapidly growing tootsies.
Selfishly, what I personally could use is a lot of sleep. A massage. And then a long nap.
SUPERCRACK thinks that sounds really freaking cool.
