5:41am - 2:15pm
Baby is eerily quiet. I'm starting to think he believes night is day and day is night. This means I'm in for big trouble the next few nights. Poop. Giovanni has been so quiet that I think he shut off, but, I have a feeling that as soon as I lean over him he'll start screaming. Though, I did have to rock him for fourty-three minutes when I was half asleep. That was almost hellish.
2:16pm - 10:28pm
Giovanni started to cry, stopped, then cooed a few minutes later. Is that a neglect point I see flying away, or normal for my baby? Though Giovanni seemed to be okay, so, Im all good with these noises.
One problem I have with baby is that he sleeps a lot. Which worries me ever so much about tonight. The fact that I have to miss out on sleep does not appeal to me too much, to be terribly honest.
10:29pm - 6:34am
Giovanni fed for fifty-two minutes at Midnight to One in the morning. I broke halfway through because of day's stress and began to sob out all of my frustration and anger. Also, Giovanni didnt accept the bottle half the time, so he would randomly start to cry.
He of course, after settling, cried again for a diaper change. That wasnt so bad until after I had switch off the light he cried again. Giovanni fed for another half hour. So, that totals an hour and twenty minutes of straight feeding. I nearly flipped.

Day One- 8:49pm
James fell asleep!!!
Its really kind of funny.
I'm the one primarily caring for Giovanni but James has been helping a lot, too, with burping G. He seems worried about me, though. Probably because I get sick very easily, and he's worried I'll get stressed out with the baby and be unable to properly care for him or myself.
Such a nice boyfriend!

Day One
2pm - 6:11pm
So far I've fed my new baby Giovanni four time, had to burp him three, and only one diaper change!
On my way home, I got a ride from my father, which was very, very helpful! Giovanni needed to be burped and it took him fifteen minutes. The entire ride home. I got a few many looks from men, woman and even a policeman!!
Once home, I called my boyfriend (Giovanni's dad) and he helped me out a lot with burping especially. We take turns burping the baby if it starts taking forever.
An interesting event, though, happen on the walk over to the beau's house. A man didnt catch the bus, and started heckling (harassing) my boyfriend (Ill just call him James, hah!) and I. "Why didnt you stop the bus for me?!" He was yelling.
Seeing if it would work, I said that I had better concerns and that I was more caring for my son's well-being. Seeing the bracelet that holds the charm to my wrist (in order to let baby know his mom is here) but not the charm, the man decided that Giovanni was a real baby, three to four months old, and let James and I on our way!
Thank you Giovanni!!
6:12pm- 8:24pm
So far, in this time segment, I've burped Giovanni four times, fed him twice, and changed his diaper twice as well.
Nothing too eventful happened from 6:12pm to 8:24, save I had to eat dinner one-handed, Giovanni met James' parents, and the child seemed to be most active during this time!!
Giovanni was passed around during my dinner time, because he needed constant burping. He was given to James (my boyfriend), then to James' mother (who seemed nervous to be holding my baby, even though electronic!), and back to me. I managed to finish dinner!
So far, Time-Records are Seventeen minutes for a feeding, and twenty-five for a burping. Talk about a long time!!
8:40pm- 5:40am
He woke me up with horrible fussy screaming when I nodded off nearing nine pm. He woke me and James up, screamed like all hell at us for a minute, then went back to sleep. Safe to say we were NOT happy with Giovanni.
When I had gone back to my place after being picked up by Dad I slept with my lights on for a long time. I had forgotten aobut my side table light, so eventually I plugged that in and just slept with natural light unless of course G started crying, then I flipped that light on and set to work. Baby woke me up also every time I woke up for the washroom and turned on a light. Maybe it was fuss or something with the light switch set off his (electronics) crying.
Though I think Giovanni is colicy!! Al he does is eat and burp and burp and burp. Over and over again. Child woke me so many times during the night- it was insane.

Pregnant! (?)
It really is a terrifying idea, that I'll have a new child to care for and put my life on hold for it all the time- I'm only seventeen! Good-bye social life and hello stinky diapers and overtime at the job!
I found out that I will be having a bouncing baby boy!
Excited!
Haley.
(Oh, calm down, its a pregnancy suit!)

About this Blog.
Hello!
My name is Haley.
This Blog is to document my experiences with a baby used to teach young and old just how difficult caring for a child really is, how consuming of a parent's life a child is, and how a new baby pretty well rules your life.
Don't worry- its not a real baby. But I have to treat him as if he was!
I will be writing in the point of view as if I had actually been pregnant, and had a child of my own. From pregnancy to the end of my (weekend long) journey with Baby, I will document here what it is like having a child around, especially as a young adult.
These images, writing pieces and videos will rage from 'Pregnancy' (pregnancy suit- yay!) to the 'Adoption' of the child, when my time with him is over.
I hope you enjoy reading!
Hugs!
Haley.
