"An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is an inconvenience rightly considered." G.K. Chesterton.
Life is good, embrace it.
I read your comment on the OBO blog and just wanted to write back. Indeed, it's simply cultural that people in the West think babies should "self-soothe" and sleep through the night. I mean, really, how many adults can self-soothe? How ay aunts sleep through the night? And who invented that silly concept. Many babes wiggle during the night and she only seems light a light sleeper to you because of the expectation that she "should" sleep hard. But lighter is actually better. And of course she is expecting to be fed continuously. So don't worry. You are just going to be tired and that's that. And worrying will just make you more tired. She is absolutely adorable. And she looks so very happy which means you are doing everything right. Read Jim's book.
