What Breaks?

Yeah, sooooo.... there are no more breaks. As the berns can attest - and every parent who's come before - there are no breaks. At least not for a while. I think thats the ONLY reason babies are made so cute - so the tough times seem less tough. Not that baby adeline has been 'tough' on the scale of 'toughest babies of all time'. Apparently I had colic - and if the books are right, colicky babies are 100 times worse than our sweet adeline's most raging moments of inner-gas-fury. but still - it pains me to hear her def-con 5 level of whaling - even if its only for a moment. it stings inside and makes my blood boil - like the fight or flight instink or sumthin... I dunno, but its a new sensation I'm gonna need to learn to handle better cuz I just want her to be smiley, and when she's not I feel like I have to DO SOMETHING FAST! Good thing i have magical lady-like fingers whose power is trumped only by "the boob". I pop the ol indexer in and she almost always goes zen on me within seconds. Its my 'go-to move'. werd. Oddly berns finger does not compete - not sure if its the shape, texture, taste or what but she told me she was going to cut it off and keep it throughout the day to calm her fury. I told her we could just make a mold.
