Wardrobe Malfunction
My wife and I have devised a plan for maximizing the amount of sleep each of us receives on any given night. We have divided the nigh into 2 shifts. 11:00-3:00 is Matt's shift and 3:00-7:00 is Brittany's shift. During each shift whoever is on duty, or is it doodie, is responsible for anything that Jett needs. The perfect shift includes a feeding in the middle of the shift which means you get an extra 2 hours of sleep before your shift actually ends. However, last night was anything but the perfect shift...
10:34 p.m. - Brittany, Matt, and Jett are on their way home and Jett is screaming at the top of his lunges because he is hungry.
10:47 p.m. - We arrive home and proceed to make warm a bottle of milk, which takes 5 minutes, Jett is still screaming.
10:55 p.m. Jett is eating, and Brittany head off to bed as Matt begins his shift.
11:12 p.m. - Jett vomits all over himself and Matt.(Outfit change #1 for Jett, Shirt change #1 for Matt).
11:19 p.m. - Matt gives Jett gripe water.
11:23 p.m. - Resume feeding in an attempt to replace the recently discharged breast milk.
11:42 p.m - Jett vomits again (Outfit change #2 for Jett, Shirt #2 for Matt).
12:02 p.m. - Matt concludes that the vomiting is due to faulty equipment so he fixes a new bottle with new milk.
12:15 p.m - Jett vomits again (Outfit change #3 for Jett, no shirt change for Matt)
12:32 p.m. - Jett still screaming, Matt now assumes that he is not hungry but that his stomach is not feeling well so Matt and Jett lay down on the couch.
12:52 p.m. - Jett vomits. (Outfit change #4 for Jett, Shirt change #3 for Matt).
1:03 p.m - Matt halucinating from Stress and exaustion see's pink elephants dancing in the living room.
1:14 p.m. - After changing Jett Matt realizes wearing a shirt is pointless because it will ust get vomit on it, so Matt spends the rest of the evening topless...Jett still screaming.
1:17 p.m. - Matt and Jett back on the couch.
1:41 p.m. - Matt wake up on the couch very confused, Jett is on Matt's chest asleep. Matt realizes the opportunity to go to bed is at hand and proceeds to move in that direction.
1:47 p.m. - Moments after Jett and Matt are in bed Jett wakes up and expresses to Matt that he would like to go back in to the living room and scream for a few hours.
1:48 p.m. - Brittany Wakes up and holds Jett for a few minutes while Matt gathers his thoughts.
2:01 p.m. - Matt feeds Jett again...this time no vomiting and Jett seems to be very content.
2:14 p.m. - Jett falls aslepp on Matt in rocking chair.
2:15 p.m. - Jett pees on himself and Matt while asleep.
2:16 p.m. - Diaper change. (Outfit #I lost count for Jett).
2:31 p.m. - Jett finally goes to bed peacefully, Matt soon follows.

Welcome to parenthood! It really is a blessing though at times it seems maddening!
