That new parent joke
There is an old joke about new parents. If you ask the mother and father of a newborn, "How is the baby sleeping thru the night?" The mother would say, "He's up every few hours." The father would say, "Great, he sleeps straight thru the night."
As a show of solidarity for the men-folk... I'd like to point out that I handled pretty much every 4am feeding - I let my wife take 11pm and 7am, so she could get her 8 hours of sleep!
Glad to finally see a picture of Dad and Ash! Sean - do you think you guys could get matching hats?!

Kristine, just remember that this phase is only *temporary* (and a good strong shove sometimes helps to wake the hearing impaired).
